freedom.press/the-classifieds/

"DOGE is “likely covered” by the Freedom of Information Act, and... cannot hide its records...

[DOGE] tried to argue it would take 3 years to respond to the #FOIA request, even if they fast-tracked their response...

Even if the recent ruling stands, we will have to keep a close eye on the myriad of ways #DOGE could continue to evade #public scrutiny"

he’s grown increasingly frustrated with the Republican’s unwillingness to listen to constituents and bills that limit individual #freedoms...

recent legislation targeting ballot initiatives, public employee unions, #LGBTQ Utahns & #immigration.

His #DarkEnlightenment philosophy promotes a #world where governments serve only the Superior (defined, of course, by Yarvin), a select few inherit #power, and the #public exists to obey...

his masturbatory notions of hyper-fascism now resonate among maladjusted, incellionaire #tech executives"
