Comment on How can Doge access critical government infrastructure and fire people if it isn't even a real department?

It is a real department, sort of. Trump used Legislation that was intended for an Obama Era “US Digital Service” and rebranded it “US DOGE Service”

They do, in fact, overstep their legal boundaries quite often. But the administration simply fires anyone who gets in the way until they get an acquiescent administrator who lets them grab the department by the pussy.
