An open letter to State Governors

Act to prevent rogue agency's unchecked data access

The recent revelations about the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) gaining unauthorized and unmonitored access to sensitive government databases are deeply concerning. It appears DOGE operatives have bypassed standard security protocols, turned off audit logs, and extracted large volumes of data from agencies like the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), including personal information, case files, and internal deliberations. This unchecked access poses a severe counterintelligence risk and undermines public trust in government institutions. DOGE's activities go far beyond claimed efficiency reforms. The concealed tools deployed, attempts to pool disparate data sources into unified databases, and evidence of automated data exfiltration suggest a coordinated campaign to gather intelligence rather than streamline operations. With data potentially residing in unknown locations accessible by unvetted personnel, the threats of misuse, manipulation, or exposure are unacceptable. Foreign adversaries could not hope for better access. Transparency and accountability must be urgently restored. I urge you to support immediate action to halt DOGE's unchecked data access through measures such as codifying strict data segregation between agencies, reviving an independent CISA, mandating forensic reviews of all systems breached, and establishing permanent congressional oversight with public reporting. Prolonged inaction will only deepen the erosion of faith in the government's ability to protect citizens' privacy and national security interests. This transcends partisan politics - it is a matter of survival for democracy itself. Swift, decisive action is needed to stop this illegal data access and regain control over government records.
