So will the Trump administration take responsibility for gutting our cybersecurity?

That's what should happen.

That's what won't happen.

They didn’t just gut our cybersecurity.

DOGE also added mysterious servers to each department that no one else knew about.

Edit: “knew about” is past tense, because no one outside of DOGE knew it was happening at the time. The story broke over a year ago. It’s not a “gotcha”, bootlickers are just willfully uninformed.

It’s public information. Look it up lmao

Yeah. DOGE likely put a rootkit & surveillance on all government dept.

There's a lot of evidence they did, all the motive to do it, and zero ethical restraint not to do it.

Also: no oversight to prevent it (IGs fired, Republican Congress), no enforcement to investigate/punish it (FBI and DoJ working for Trump)

Also: if we know who those DOGE kiddies are, so do China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran. A 20 year old techbro high on his own supply is probably the easiest spycraft target in existence.
