Dems look to close the barn door after top DOGE dog has bolted
Elon Musk is backing away from his Trump-blessed government gig, but now House Democrats want to see the permission slip that got him in the door.
Democrats on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee sent a pair of letters to White House Counsel David Warrington and the heads of several government agencies demanding documents related to Elon Musk’s financial disclosures and security clearance, which they argue are legally required for someone in his position.
The demand for financial disclosure is aimed at determining whether Musk is self-dealing, or violating conflict-of-interest rules.

And generate wealth for data brokers. Meanwhile, designers and managers of the digital infrastructure on which the world depends are engaged in a never-ending effort to thwart attempts, by both criminal enterprises and state actors, to exploit vulnerabilities in those systems.
