Top Officials Placed on Leave After Denying DOGE Access to Federal Payroll Systems DOGE demanded full access to a US Department of the Interior system that handles even the Supreme Court's paychecks. When top staff asked questions, they were put on leave.

DOGE comes for the Dept of Interior. Grateful for brave civil servants there, and for more great reporting from Wired.

Announcement for a SPECIAL PANEL ON THE TREASURY with pictures of two speakers. About this event: What is at stake with the Treasury's payment systems? Recent events make this question more pertinent than ever before. Cutting across governance, policy, economic regulation, and the bureaucracies that sit at the core of the democratic state, the Treasury's financial pipes and plumbing are critical for the nation's well-being. In this special session, Elizabeth Popp Berman (U Michigan) and Abraham Newman (Georgetown U) will discuss why these systems matter as well as the risks posed by their capture by non-state actors. Please join us on Thursday, February 6 at 11 AM PST/ 2 PM EST for what will surely be an excellent conversation. Please register here: https://ucsd.zoom.us/meeting/register/uSxuanM2TEWy5Hqn4-7KVg

This non "buyout" really seems to have backfired
