DOGE took an axe to CISA and left the U.S. exposed to cyber attacks. Thankfully, our experts in Minnesota were able to identify the vulnerability quickly and work with local communities to stop it.

YES! A US District Court sided w plaintiffs who are seeking to protect privacy of millions of Americans whose personal information was divulged to Musk's DOGE by Treasury Dept's Bureau of the Fiscal Service & Office of Personnel Management.

NEWS: Court will force the Trump-Vance admin to defend its decision to grant DOGE access to sensitive OPM databases containing the personal data of tens of millions of people and rejects the admin’s request to dismiss our case. This is a critical step in our case to hold the government accountable.

In a recent interview w The Economist, Musk said he 'went too far in politics'. He's funneling $100 million-plus into GOP political PACs. What is he trying to buy now? He bought DOGE, gutted our govt, fired regulators + is responsible for 100s of thousands of deaths. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/u...

DOGE was supposed to be dead. Its remnants are everywhere.
