This response is so funny to me.
You'll be on your knees begging for bureaucracy after all your info is sold to the highest bidder and you spend the next 20 years fighting identity theft.
It's so funny you think quoting a newspaper that says some random staffer doesn't CURRENTLY have access is some sort of gotcha. Do you know how time works?
No, you are quoting a newspaper "zetter-zeroday" which is talking about court documents. You are not quoting court documents.
Also, not all court documents are the same. You can make whatever claims you want in some of them.
THE staffer? I don't remember singling anyone out so I have no clue what you're talking.
You're argument is "This document said this one dude isn't currently accessing the system" as if that somehow means they aren't going to in the future and or that other team members don't have access. What are you even talking about? No one is saying "It's all this guy"
I don't know AND THAT'S THE POINT. No one knows. There is ZERO oversight except for a guy who just coincidentally made his billions on US government subsidies.
hWUT?
WTF are you talking about? What govt agency does haven't oversight the way DOGE does? Stop lying.
congress didn't create DOGE. no one is overseeing that goon running it. you're a child if you believe the words coming out of his mouth
DOGE should not be even near private data without a clearance.
I think that ship has sailed.
His first term, he handed out security clearances to anyone who would ask. There is even less stopping him from just giving them out this term too.

"New court documents shed light on what a 25-year-old DOGE employee named Marko Elez did inside Treasury Department payment systems. They also provide extensive new details about which systems Elez accessed, the security precautions Treasury IT staff took to limit his access and activity, and what changes he made to the systems. The documents indicate that the situation at Treasury is more nuanced than previously reported."

"Additionally, he could only connect using a government-issued laptop that had "cybersecurity tools" installed on it to prevent him from accessing web sites or cloud-based storage services with the laptop or connecting a USB or other external storage device to it to copy large amounts of data from Treasury systems.
