Summary

Despite Elon Musk’s claims of “maximal transparency,” the Trump administration now argues that records from DOGE are exempt from Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.

A court filing states DOGE, rebranded from the U.S. Digital Service, is a “free-standing component” of the Executive Office of the President and falls under the Presidential Records Act.

Watchdog groups have sued, arguing that DOGE’s activities, which involve sweeping access to federal agencies, must be publicly accessible.

      I sometimes think of those redcaps as something out of a sci-fi movie where they take over any normal brain function.

          I still wonder if BrainDead was cancelled not only because of low ratings…even if it was showing a bothsiderist lean at some point. It might have been a bit too much on the nose for the oligarchs’ tastes.
