Published another update about all the winning by DOGE and the POTUS on cybery stuff lately, and their efforts to rehire and then place on *paid* leave some 25,000 government employees they illegally fired, including > 100 people at the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). From the story:

"Both the message to fired CISA workers and DOGE's ongoing efforts to bypass vetted government networks for a faster Wi-Fi signal are emblematic of this administration's overall approach to even basic security measures: To go around them, or just pretend they don't exist for a good reason.

On Monday, The New York Times reported that U.S. Secret Service agents at the White House were briefly on alert last month when a trusted captain of Elon Musk's "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) visited the roof of the Eisenhower building inside the White House compound -- to see about setting up a dish to receive satellite Internet access directly from Musk's Starlink service.

The White House press secretary told The Times that Starlink had "donated" the service and that the gift had been vetted by the lawyer overseeing ethics issues in the White House Counsel’s Office. The White House claims the service is necessary because its wireless network is too slow."
