So the White House (where doge sits) has direct access to anyone’s tax returns. I assume this can be used to blackmail or threaten anyone they don’t like?
Imagine the outcry if the Biden White House had tried to do this, especially because Trump has never (to this day!) posted his tax returns..

Missing word: "Illegal" access.
Henchmen violating privacy laws is just as illegal as of they were murdering people in the street. There's no "because your boss is a clown" exception.

The party that complained about “big tech” has empowered “big tech” to collect all our personal taxpayer data directly.

>”A Trump administration official said DOGE personnel needed IDRS access because DOGE staff are working to “eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse, and improve government performance to better serve the people.”
My bet is that these people think they can feed all this data to a magic AI and presto, out comes a list of “waste, fraud, and abuse.” Otherwise you’d need trained auditors, which the IRS already has.
What a shit show.
