This is the worst possible scenario now playing out. If there was ever any doubt that Trump and the entire Republican party, including the conservative SCOTUS, were Russian assets, we can now chisel it in stone. It’s safe to assume that this is exactly what DOGE has been doing inside all the other government agencies they have overtaken.
After you read this you can call your MAGA family members and ask them if they fucking proud of themselves now.
Stunning. As reported extensively on Rachel Maddow interview last night with the whistleblower and his attorney on set:
Government IT whistleblowers have come forward with explosive allegations: DOGE is not a cost-saving initiative — it’s a digital front. A cover operation. Its true purpose? To infiltrate federal systems, extract sensitive government data, and deliver it directly to Russian intelligence.
Here’s how it unfolded — and how it continues to unfold inside U.S. agencies:
⸻
Step One: Infiltration
DOGE operatives entered federal offices under the guise of restructuring for efficiency. They locked out internal staff, restructured access, and installed high-tech override systems that deleted all records of their activity. No logs. No trails.
This tactic has reportedly occurred at multiple agencies and continues in real time.
⸻
Step Two: Extraction
IT whistleblowers recovered metadata showing massive amounts of sensitive government data were — and are still being — downloaded.
Where this data is going remains unknown. Officials have refused to comment, and no internal review has been made public.
⸻
Step Three: Sabotage
Each week DOGE has spent at a new agency, they’ve left all digital security doors wide open — no firewalls, no alarms, no protections.
Soon after, Russian IP addresses begin accessing U.S. government systems using DOGE-issued credentials. Actual usernames and passwords were created and distributed by DOGE insiders. These Russian-linked accounts have spent full weeks siphoning highly sensitive federal data — directly from U.S. systems.
⸻
America is under siege.
Our digital infrastructure — across multiple government agencies — has been, and continues to be, penetrated by Russian intelligence, aided by DOGE and Trump-aligned insiders. Every citizen’s data is vulnerable. The implications are staggering.
⸻
So what’s the cost?
Elon Musk once promised $2 trillion in savings through DOGE.
That estimate has now plummeted to $150 billion — and the federal government has already spent more than that implementing the cuts.
Musk has since taken down the transparency portal he once championed, and is now facing lawsuits tied to DOGE’s implementation and misinformation.
⸻
The Distraction Strategy
None of this happened in a vacuum.
The sudden political assault on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) didn’t just ignite a culture war — it was the culture war they needed. By engineering a national outrage campaign, they flooded the media with emotionally charged debates that dominate headlines, social media, and everyday conversations. While the public was distracted, DOGE was quietly rewriting access rules, wiping digital footprints, and building backdoors.
This is how authoritarian propaganda works in a 24-hour news cycle: you don’t have to lie well — you just have to lie first. It’s a tactic based on the primacy effect, a psychological principle that shows people remember the first version of a story far more than any correction. It’s why Fox News continues to thrive despite having one of the highest retraction rates in modern media — their audience never internalizes the walk-backs, because they were never designed to stick.
That’s exactly what DOGE did with its “$2 trillion in savings” claim. They knew it would be retracted. They knew the number would shrink. But they also knew it wouldn’t matter — because the public had already absorbed the big, bold headline.
The retraction? That’s buried on page twelve, long after the outrage has moved on.

What this really is.
This isn’t just incompetence. It’s not just corruption.
This is a coordinated digital invasion — executed from within — and aligned with a hostile foreign power. What was once speculation about Trump being a possible Russian agent has now escalated into something far more dangerous.
If the allegations are true, this is a coordinated alliance between Trump, Elon Musk, DOGE, and powerful insiders within the U.S. government — all enabling and protecting what amounts to state-level espionage on behalf of the Russian authoritarian state.
This goes far beyond a single traitor or rogue operative.
This is the formation of an oligarchic alliance embedded within American institutions — working to dismantle democracy, consolidate power, and serve the geopolitical interests of a hostile Russian regime.
And as wild as it may have sounded a year ago, this is exactly what Bernie Sanders, AOC, and others have been warning about: A global class of ultra-wealthy elites undermining democratic institutions from within — and now, apparently, collaborating with authoritarian powers to do it.

*Daniel Berulis, the lead IT whistleblower behind these revelations, is now under protection following serious death threats, including drone-taken surveillance photos left at his residence. While Berulis is the most visible, he is not alone — multiple cybersecurity professionals have stepped forward behind the scenes, corroborating his findings and pushing for accountability.
He is being shielded under federal whistleblower laws and is represented by the nonprofit Whistleblower Aid, which is calling for an independent investigation. The severity of these claims and the clear conflict of interest within DOGE and the White House demand it.
As expected, DOGE, the Trump-aligned administration, and conservative media have begun issuing coordinated denials, signaling just how deeply implicated they are — and how desperately they’ll try to gaslight the public into ignoring the truth.
⸻
And here’s the most damning truth of all:
If even a single part of this story is true, it would implicate both Elon Musk and Donald Trump in acts that meet the constitutional definition of treason.
It will be interesting to see how Congress and Republicans respond … or IF they respond.
