At issue in the dispute over #Trump's dismissals of Cathy Harris from the Merit Systems Protection Board [#MSPB] & Gwynne Wilcox from the National #Labor Relations Board [#NLRB] is whether safeguards passed by #Congress to prevent ofcls in these posts from being fired w/o cause encroach on #PresidentialAuthority set out in the US #Constitution. Harris & Wilcox were appointed by the Republican president's Democratic predecessor Joe #Biden, & both had years left on their terms.
This is not draining the swamp… This is giving Pepe the Frog dog whistle alt right white supremacy boys cart blanche to not only erode #democracy, but to directly endanger decades of 
hard-won achievements, unthinkable fundamental principles, the separation of powers, and the safety of #citizens and #laborers.

Wie «state-sponsored actors», also staatlich finanzierte Cyberkrimininelle, hätte sich das #DOGE-Team, als es bei der US-Arbeitsbehörde #NLRB einmarschiert sei: Sich Super-Admin-Rechte geben lassen, alle Aufzeichnungen ihrer Tätigkeiten deaktiviert und mittels Verschleierungstools und neuen Logins für russische IP-Adressen Daten exfiltriert.
Möglicher Zusammenhang? Gegen einige Firmen von Auch-DOGE-Chef Musk liegen Beschwerden wegen der Arbeitsbedingungen vor.

“Why is the labor movement so dependent on the government in the first place? Can we afford to be in a situation where one orange man can suspend the union process? The moment has opened our imaginations to what labor organizing would be like without the NLRB.”
No #NLRB? No problem. Via @industrialwrkr

BOMBSHELL: #NLRB Whistleblower Implies #DOGE Committing TREASON | #KyleKulinski

(Ed: I don't know the details of the relationship between Putin, Trump & Elon. But point of the operation is still to cripple the #Ukraine matters)
Extremely fine, and frightening account of how #DOGE most likely exfiltrated data from the systems of the National Labor Relations Board #NLRB:
»In the days after #Berulis and his colleagues prepared a request for #CISA's help investigating the breach, Berulis found a printed letter in an envelope taped to his door, which included threatening language, sensitive personal information and overhead pictures of him walking his dog, according to the cover letter attached to his official disclosure. It's unclear who sent it, but the letter made specific reference to his decision to report the breach.«

When sharing a rapid news cycle, how do we share information that is validated and attributed?
"Speed of light" used to be the moniker for things "moving fast", e.g. "oh wow that happened at the speed of light".
It's worth mentioning that these days, especially with a never-pausing news cycle, there's something to be said for "moves at the speed of information".
e.g. The current news cycle in the United States right is paced at "the speed of information". When it feels like we're spreading Breaking News, or life saving information, it feels more urgent to spread the information than almost anything else.
This is a very "yes, and" sentiment!
Now is a great time to build a practice for how you can personally handle sharing things at the speed of information, which will have the double impact of making sure the information is 1 ) correct and 2 ) attributed.
When you see information you wish to share, esp if it's a news headline:
1. Do a quick search with your engine of choice ( 
, 
)
2. Credit both sources
For # 2: this is because you have two sources, not one. *Your* sources are whatever post you saw that prompted your search *and* the results of the search.
Verifying in this way also has the double benefit of ensuring the original author is credited, which is doubly important for marginalized voices.
Let's use today's news about #DOGE and the #NLRB (labor data) for practice!
1. There's a 
post making rounds about DOGE + NLRB data
2. A quick search shows that the original source is an 
article by Jenna McLaughlin.
So that means when *I* post about it, my sources are: MattJay AND Jenna McLaughlin. *I* have *two* sources.
To capture this, I might make a post like:
There is a story breaking about #DOGE gaining access to #NLRB data! Sources are Jenna McLaughlin @ NPR:
https://www.npr.org/2025/04/15/nx-s1-5355896/doge-nlrb-elon-musk-spacex-security
There is also additional analysis circulating by MattJay:

Posting like this:
1. Credits both sources
2. Fact checks and attributes
3. Isn't accusing
For # 3: It doesn't matter to my post what anyone else is or isn't doing. (And I would need to validate my own accusation.)
My only goals should be to validate and attribute what I wish to share.
Holy shit the details of this story about #DOGE taking over the #NLRB's systems are nuts.
1. Demanded full control of NLRB's #Azure cloud
2. Disabled logs and network monitoring
3. MFA turned off
4. Russian login attempts with valid (new) credentials
5. 10 GB exfiltrated from #NxGen, the NLRB's legal case database

What's critical about the whistle blower report at the National Labor Relations Board, is that this is absolutely a data breach that seems to have stolen their most private data. BUT this is also wide spread now across any agency that DOGE has touched.
They reported this becoming an issue a nuclear stock pile sites, that they are now on the public internet via starlink & data is being exfilled.
According to cyber security specialist Daniel Berulis at the NLRB, a person using a Russian IP address had the correct login credentials just minutes after they were created by DOGE to access the government system in March.

"The representatives have requested information about agency operations but asked us to remove any personally identifiable information from documents we provide," the email reads. "Consistent with the President's Executive Order & applicable laws, the Agency will comply with #DOGE's requests for access & information."
The email, sent to staff on behalf of #NLRB chair Marvin E. Kaplan & acting general counsel William Cowen & shared w/ #NPR by 2 NLRB employees…, said 2 #DOGE reps would be detailed to the agency from the #GSA "part-time for several months" & would largely work *remotely* [guess they’ll be using that back door].
