6. DOGE lied and the government lied to the press and in court about what was going when it came to the stealing of data (l). As @vanessawilliamson.bsky.social wrote in her review of the state of the IRS, more than 90% of the data was improperly shared. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/things-rea...
He was too busy doing his job to notice when, on 11 February 2026, the Washington Post reported that the IRS had shared with the Department of Homeland Security the tax data of 47,000 undocumented workers. On the heels of the Post’s scoop, a federal judge hearing a case on the subject summoned the IRS lawyers who had previously sworn that the agency had rebuffed the DHS demands. Under questioning, the lawyers confessed that the agency had lied to the court and that it had in fact shared the data. “The IRS violated the [Internal Revenue Code] approximately 42,695 times by disclosing last known taxpayer addresses to Ice,” the judge wrote in her opinion.

WOW. Kristi Noem and Elon Musk, among others, "chose to turn the power of the federal government against a singular employee with an impeccable record of public service. ... The attacks against Ms. Comans were based entirely on false information" and many officials "knew [they] were untrue."
In conducting this hearing, the Court is not called upon to resolve factual disputes between
the parties. The facts set forth in this Memorandum Opinion and Order were proposed by the
Plaintiff, unobjected to by the Government, and then deemed admitted by the Court. Dkts. 74, 75,
77.2 These facts establish that high-ranking government officials, including then Secretary of DHS
Kristi Noem and Elon Musk, engaged in a coordinated public relations campaign to impugn the
personal and professional integrity of Ms. Comans. For reasons unfathomable to this Court,
officials chose to turn the power of the federal government against a singular employee with an
impeccable record of public service. In short, Ms. Comans was professionally targeted and
personally attacked by government officials for no legitimate reason. The attacks against Ms.
Comans were based entirely on false information, and many government officials knew the
accusations were untrue at the time they were made. With no regard for the truth and with no
consideration for the personal and professional effect on Ms. Comans, government officials
exploited their access to mass media outlets to broadcast false information. These false
statements reached hundreds of millions of people. The purpose of this Order is, to the best of
this Court’s ability, to correct the public record and establish as a matter of law that the
statements made by these officials about Ms. Comans were objectively and demonstrably false.
