People will be held accountable for the crimes they’re committing in this coup attempt," senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), who has publicly demanded answers about DOGE's "illegal seizure of Americans' private data," told Wired.

But alas most of congress belongs to Musk Zuck. All hail our alien and robotic overlords.

Where is the ‘apparently’ coming from? Only logic is that he had write access so he must’ve done something?
