Wreckless incompetence at the highest levels of government.
Because the headline underplays it quite a bit the actual story here is that the Social Security Administration has referred two DOGE employees for Hatch Act violations after discovering contacts with a political group seeking SSA data to overturn election results.

Wow this is bad. Will there be any accountability?
According to the OSC:

Violations are sent to the President for disciplinary action.
So, no.

FTA: "SSA referred both DOGE employees for potential violations of the Hatch Act."
Probably nothing under this administration. But there is a paper trail–now cited in public–for folks in the future to pursue.
In the meantime, I'm curious what civil damages they may be liable for.
