Elon Musk's initiative, DOGE.gov, has come under scrutiny after classified information regarding the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) was inadvertently posted on the site. The website, intended to provide transparency about federal spending and operations, mistakenly included sensitive data about the NRO, which is responsible for satellite operations for U.S. intelligence. This breach raises concerns about how Musk's team accessed such classified information, especially given SpaceX's significant contract with the NRO. Intelligence community members are alarmed, with one employee noting that the exposure of secret information could put individuals at risk. Additionally, the website has already faced hacking attempts due to coding vulnerabilities. This incident highlights potential security flaws within the DOGE initiative and raises questions about the oversight of sensitive government data. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is facing backlash over significant layoffs in public health sectors, which critics argue will undermine the nation's ability to respond to health crises. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., newly appointed to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, has pledged to protect public health workers, despite ongoing staff reductions.

They might want to know, but asking might risk their job...
