   🚨 DOGE is not an official federal government agency, yet Musk continues to mess around and "disrupt" the operations of much of the Executive branch, even locking employees out of their accounts.

   "Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials."

     I would love to see Elon Musk called before Congress to explain himself, but with these sycophantic Republicans in charge, I don't see that happening.

     Frankly, I think the GOP loves what Musk is doing, even when it encroaches on their power.

     But as citizens we need to remember that we ELECT our reps to work for the people, and Musk is only one guy among 300+ million of us. He should not have the power to alter our republic without the people's consent.

     When will people object to an unofficial government "department" being run by the world's richest man -- who was never nominated or confirmed by Congress -- mucking about in the entire Executive Branch of the US federal government, including its computer systems and databases?

     This is beginning to get ridiculous.

     Musk represents Musk. He was never elected by anyone to alter the US government.

     Call your reps and complain.
