Doge staffers enter Noaa headquarters and incite reports of cuts and threats
Staffers with Elon Musk’s “department of government efficiency” (Doge) reportedly entered the headquarters of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) in Silver Spring, Maryland, and the Department of Commerce in Washington DC today, inciting concerns of downsizing at the agency.
“They apparently just sort of walked past security and said: ‘Get out of my way,’ and they’re looking for access for the IT systems, as they have in other agencies,” said Andrew Rosenberg, a former Noaa official who is now a fellow at the University of New Hampshire. “They will have access to the entire computer system, a lot of which is confidential information.”
Project 2025, written by several former Trump staffers, has called for the agency to be “broken up and downsized”, claiming the agency is “harmful to US prosperity” for its role in climate science.
Rosenberg noted it had been a longtime goal of corporations that rely on Noaa data to prevent the agency from making the data public, instead of giving it directly to private corporations that create products based on it, such as weather forecasting services.
He also argued there was no legal authority to abolish Noaa or reduce its budget, outside of reducing it through Congress.
“There’s no real transparency. They just show up wherever they want, do whatever they want. They’re following through on major budget cuts and major staffing cuts,” Rosenberg added. “I think the strategy here is: ‘Well, we’re just going to do it and dare somebody to stop us, and by the time they stop us, we’ll have destroyed it.’”
In response to the prospect of potential cuts of personnel, budget or mission at Noaa, Beth Lowell, US vice-president of the ocean conservation non-profit Oceana, said doing so “will have a ripple effect that sacrifices the communities, jobs, and coastal economies that rely on healthy oceans. And the National Weather Service, part of Noaa, provides daily weather forecasts and lifesaving storm alerts that protect our communities across the country and mariners at sea.”

Trump will arrest protesters and ship them to El Salvador or Gitmo; that is if he doesn’t shot them.Simmsy wrote: Wed Feb 05, 2025 7:24 amYes! Another forever war! Moron ran on being a peace president, ran on ending Afghanistan, now we're back where we started. If you see Maga, tell them there is going to be a draft. I don't know if there will be one (probably will be), but tell them anyways. They seem to be...not freaking out, but a little nervous that Trump would do something so out of character.
On a different note, I think some of you doomers and gloomers (I'm one too), should watch this video. It shows that people ARE doing something and showing support for each other. We have a lot of fractured democratic groups that are starting to come back together. A little long, but its the video we all need to see:

Elon Musk’s Doge staffers face protest over labor department visit
Workers at the US Department of Labor are organizing a protest ahead of the scheduled meeting of Elon Musk’s staff at the “department of government efficiency” (Doge) with the management at Frances Perkins Building in Washington DC at 4pm on Wednesday.
“Lower-level IT supervisors were basically asked to plan to stay late after the 4pm meeting to assist with getting Doge folks set up on our systems,” a Department of Labor employee who requested to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation said.
The meeting comes as Elon Musk’s SpaceX is fighting in federal court against the National Labor Relations Board, alleging the board’s makeup is unconstitutional, in response to appeals over federal labor law violations against the company.
Musk’s companies have also faced significant fines issued by divisions with the agency at Tesla, SpaceX and Boring Company.
Jordan Barab, who served as deputy assistant secretary of labor for occupational safety and health under the Obama administration, explained in his blog on the Doge meeting with the agency that their access incites concerns over confidential information at the department, including for whistleblowers, economic data with the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), and personnel information.
“Would Elon and Trump use a takeover of BLS to cover up unfavorable economic statistics? A couple of weeks ago, that would have seemed impossible. Today is seems more than likely,” Barab said.

Union Group Sues to Block DOGE Labor Department Data Access
A coalition of unions and a worker advocacy organization are suing to block the Department of Government Efficiency from gaining entry to the US Labor Department’s computer systems.
The lawsuit, filed in the US District Court for the District of Columbia on Wednesday, argues that DOGE’s plans to attempt to access the DOL’s sensitive information systems on Feb. 5 are being carried out without legal authority and in violation of the Privacy Act and the Administrative Procedure Act.
“Absent this Court’s intervention,” the complaint argues, DOGE will have its hands on “highly sensitive data” including medical and benefits information of ...

So, I had an epiphany, but it seems like this has already been discovered while I was at work:
Basically, my boss is a trumper, not full on maga, but he's a Trumper. Eventually, our conversation went to Trump, I defended my views, but I targeted my anger and disdain to Elon. I told him what Elon is doing, what he plans to do, all of it. I left Trump out of it, he now hates Elon too. Don't focus on Trump, focus on Elon. Looks like his popularity has drained quite a bit since I've gotten home.
Judge issues nationwide injunction blocking Trump's bid to end birthright citizenship
A federal judge in Maryland has issued a nationwide preliminary injunction against President Donald Trump's executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship.
U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman heard arguments Wednesday over a request by five pregnant undocumented women to block Trump's Day-1 executive order seeking to redefine the meaning of the 14th Amendment to exclude the children of undocumented immigrants from birthright citizenship.
"The denial of the precious right to citizenship will cause irreparable harm," Judge Boardman said in handing down her order. "It has been said the right to U.S. citizenship is a right no less precious than life or liberty. If the court does not enjoin enforcement of the executive order, children subject to the order will be denied the rights and benefits of U.S. citizenship and their parents will face instability."
"A nationwide injunction is appropriate and necessary because it concerns citizenship," Judge Boardman said.
The ruling comes two weeks after a federal judge in Seattle criticized the Department of Justice for attempting to defend what he called a "blatantly unconstitutional" order and issued a temporary restraining order.
In her ruling, Judge Boardman said Trump's executive order "conflicts with the plain language of the 14th Amendment."
"The U.S. Supreme court has resoundingly rejected the president's interpretation of the citizenship clause," Boardman said. "In fact, no court has endorsed the president's interpretation, and this court will not be the first."

White House Orders C.I.A. to Send an Unclassified Email With Names of Some Employees
The White House ordered the C.I.A. to send an unclassified email listing all employees hired by the spy agency over the last two years to comply with an executive order to shrink the federal work force, in a move that former officials say risked the list leaking to adversaries.
The list included first names and the first initial of the last name of the new hires, who are still on probation — and thus easy to dismiss. It included a large crop of young analysts and operatives who were hired specifically to focus on China, and whose identities are usually closely guarded because Chinese hackers are constantly seeking to identify them.
The agency normally would prefer not to put these names in an unclassified system. Some former officials said they worried that the list could be passed on to a team of newly hired young software experts working with Elon Musk and his government efficiency team. If that happened, the names of the employees might be more easily targeted by China, Russia or other foreign intelligence services.
One former agency officer called the reporting of the names in an unclassified email a “counterintelligence disaster.”
