Evidence that DOGE has not only accessed sensitive data, but also removed data illegally, covering their tracks as they did so. Like hackers would do. Not what a legitimate government organization would do. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data

A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.
