It's near to certain that those DOGE people exfiltrated some data in a manner that broke big serious laws, which data are now being held and used in ways that break many more laws. Some aggressive enforcement and big rewards for dropping a dime on your boss are the way to go here.

Most people don’t know there’s no limit on how many times a president can be impeached. Trump is already the only president impeached twice. Third time’s the charm.

The US knows Ukrainian air defense relies on US early detection of Russian launches. Without telling Ukraine, the Trump White House (and Elon Musk's SpaceX) withheld that info and hindered countermeasures. The US just facilitated a Russian attack on Ukraine, making it more effective and deadlier.
