The Treasury Department’s reckless decision to grant DOGE technologist Marko Elez unfettered access to critical payment systems is an egregious breach of national security. Allowing an inexperienced outsider to rewrite the code controlling trillions in federal spending exposed the nation’s financial infrastructure to unacceptable risks. Senior officials have attempted to downplay the issue, but the facts are clear: Elez had write access before it was quietly revoked days later.
This is not just a lapse in oversight—it is a blatant failure that could have enabled unauthorized changes to vital government payments. Public trust has been severely undermined, and only swift, decisive action can restore confidence. An independent investigation must determine who approved this access, what changes were made, and why officials misled the public. Those responsible must be held fully accountable—removal from their positions is the bare minimum. Anything less invites future breaches that could cripple government operations and endanger our economic stability.
The integrity of our public systems is non-negotiable. This cannot be ignored.
