Hold DOGE Accountable NOW!!! The designation of Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) as an entity under the Presidential Records Act raises serious concerns about transparency and accountability. Shielding DOGE's records from public scrutiny until 2034 is alarming, especially given reports of unauthorized data access, agency shutdowns beyond its authority, and questionable spending of millions in taxpayer dollars. This lack of oversight enables potential fraud, waste, and abuse to go unchecked. Subjecting DOGE to FOIA requests and judicial review is crucial for maintaining checks and balances on executive power. Defying court orders would represent a dangerous erosion of the rule of law and separation of powers. Governmental efficiency should never come at the cost of our democratic principles and constitutional framework. I urge you to reconsider this decision and ensure DOGE operates with full transparency and accountability to the American people. Granting such broad exemptions from public disclosure sets a disturbing precedent that threatens our open society.
