Request for Congressional Investigation into DOGE Activities

Concerns Over Unauthorized Data Access Recent whistleblower disclosures have raised serious concerns about the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk. At the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), DOGE personnel allegedly accessed sensitive data related to union activities, disabled security protocols, and attempted to erase logs of their actions. Such behavior compromises the integrity of federal agencies and endangers data security and privacy. A detailed NPR report on April 15, 2025, highlights these concerns, including the alarming access to case files and network activity by DOGE operatives at the NLRB (https://www.npr.org/2025/04/15/nx-s1-5355896/doge-nlrb-elon-musk-spacex-security). Erosion of Federal Oversight and Accountability DOGE’s rapid integration into multiple federal agencies, including the IRS, SEC, and SSA, has been marked by a lack of transparency and oversight. Reports indicate that DOGE operatives, many with ties to Musk’s private enterprises, have been granted extensive access to sensitive systems without adequate vetting. This raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest and the undermining of established governmental checks and balances. Risks to National Security and Public Trust Cybersecurity experts have sounded alarms over DOGE’s actions, noting the elimination of key cybersecurity positions and the weakening of federal digital safeguards. Such measures have exposed personal data of millions, including veterans and the elderly, to potential breaches. The destabilization of critical infrastructure not only endangers national security but also erodes public trust in governmental institutions. Call for Immediate Congressional Action Given these developments, I urge you to advocate that Congress: • Initiate a thorough investigation into DOGE’s activities across federal agencies. • Hold public hearings to assess the implications of DOGE’s actions on national security, data privacy, and governmental integrity. • Implement safeguards to ensure that any future initiatives aimed at governmental efficiency do not compromise the foundational principles of transparency, accountability, and public trust.
