The NSA, state and local police departments have been improperly accessing my data for years. The only reason people care about this is because of the (justified) general anger of DOGE. Yet there are far worse offenders, with far more intrusive access.
Not only that, they did it with the intention of overturning elections:
> The unnamed employees secretly conferred with a political advocacy group about a request to match Social Security data with state voter rolls to "find evidence of voter fraud and to overturn election results in certain States,"
"Furthermore, on Monday, April 7, 2025, while my client and my team were
preparing this disclosure, someone physically taped a threatening note to Mr. Berulis’
home door with photographs – taken via a drone – of him walking in his neighborhood"

It was also my understanding many DOGE employees were Department of Treasury agents.
How could anything else possibly have happened? These amateurs (at best) were given unfettered access to everything with no accountability or rules.
