    White House opens funding spigot for DOGE expenses

    Budget-slashing group is given nearly $7 million in a week as Musk
    gets access to sensitive government data
    ..
    ..
    On his first day in office, President Donald Trump signed an executive
    order creating the Musk-led "United States DOGE Service" out of what
    used to be called the United States Digital Service.
    ...
    ...
    The order goes on to say that DOGE "shall adhere to rigorous data
    protection standards," but critics inside and outside the government
    don't believe that's what Musk intends. Two AFL-CIO member unions and
    the Alliance for Retired Americans, a nonprofit, filed suit in federal
    court Monday seeking to enjoin DOGE's access to Treasury's electronic
    payment system managing some $6 trillion in annual disbursements.

    shall adhere to rigorous data protection standards

    Well, what's the penalty if they don't?
