Federal workers have filed an emergency lawsuit demanding that courts mandate that Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency shuts down the server it has set up at the US Office of Personnel Management’s (OPM) headquarters.

Wired reports that an attorney representing two unidentified government workers is alleging that “the server’s continued operation not only violates federal law but is potentially exposing vast quantities of government staffers’ personal information to hostile foreign adversaries through unencrypted email.”

The complaint alleges that the DOGE server was installed “without OPM—the government’s human resources department—conducting a mandatory privacy impact assessment required under federal law,” writes Wired.

    Query:

    Where the fuck are all these people’s guns

    Like if random dudes stroll into a government facility, start installing unapproved hardware to open uo vulnerabilities…

    Why has literally no one just shot them?

    Like isn’t that straight up terrorist actions? I’d terrorists or hackers tried to do thus, wouldn’t they just get…

    shot?

    Why didn’t a single person in that enture building not just fucking shoot these people as soon as they started plugging unapproved stuff in? Shouldn’t they all be fucking dead?

    It’s a federal government building, it’s insane that random people could just walk in and plug stuff in without just getting fucking shot to death

    Did they walk in with guns too? What? I don’t understand, was it always just that easy to compromise the enture fucking US government infrastructure lol

    Just walk in with a machine and a clipboard, plug it in and go “no no don’t shoot, I’m with DOGE”

    How was the response anything less than “we have no idea who the fuck you are, leave the building or we will open fire”

      Carrying firearms on federal property is illegal for regular folks. Only cops get to do that, and guess whose side they’re on?

      I mean the problem is the people in charge of the people who would stop people from doing this are on board with Elon. So they’re gonna be ordered to let them do their thing and to stop the employees there from interfering. We’re running into the problem of how do you enforce the laws against government officials when all the people with power are on the side of the people breaking the laws.

        I’m seeing news of top level officials being forcefully removed from the premises and resisting eviction.

        So how’s that occurring with a single shot fired?

          I think it’s cause those top level officials aren’t in charge of the security people, the security people are receiving orders from people loyal to Trump I imagine. So they’re being told by their bosses to get rid of these other high level people and to let the DOGE people do what they want.

      Take a lesson from all the police murders: “Musk assaulted me and I feared for my life, so I had to shoot him dead. Autopsy says he was shot in the back while running away and pissing himself? No, he was doing some sort of ninja spin kick. Body camera? Must have malfunctioned.”

      Musk can’t testify if he’s dead.

      Because the USA is full of people who are oblivious, apathetic or chicken hawks
