    All government communication systems are subject to FOIA.

      From the article:

      This would make DOGE a Presidential Records Act entity, meaning records it creates are not FOIAble until years after a president leaves office rather than a Federal Records Act entity, which would make its records FOIAble now.

          I’m sure it’s just a coincidence nothing nefarious to see here

        Their communications would still be publicly owned under that act.

      Maybe they don’t “work” for the gov because they are not on the payroll, they have no salary, they work for “free”

        Then they definitely do not have the authority or legal access to the secure locations and servers they’re currently breaking into, making their actions literally treason.

          While I’m not usually for the death penalty, I’d make an exception for fElon (and donvict) since their treason is so egregious.

        I don’t think they can have it both ways. It does not matter they collect salary or not.

    Isn’t it interesting how all these people who demand to have everyone else’s data are suddenly uptight about having the same scruteny?
