DOGE is STILL Stealing Our Data, Money, and Services

I am extremely concerned that DOGE operatives may be trying to access sensitive whistleblower files and other confidential worker safety records at the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). As highlighted in the recent WIRED article, there are dozens of open workplace safety cases involving Elon Musk's companies like Tesla, SpaceX, and The Boring Company that are currently under investigation or disputed by OSHA. With DOGE already having obtained read access to certain Department of Labor databases, there is a legitimate fear that whistleblower identities and employee testimonies could be compromised if Musk's allies gain further access. This would enable retaliation against those who reported safety violations and deter future whistleblowers from coming forward, ultimately jeopardizing worker protections. I urge you to take immediate action to safeguard whistleblower confidentiality and prevent DOGE from exploiting its overreach within the federal government in this alarming manner that undermines labor rights and workplace accountability. We cannot allow an unelected billionaire to compromise the integrity of systems put in place to keep workers safe.
