Democrats demand to know WTF is up with that DOGE server on OPM's network

Oversight Democrats questioned OPM about a DOGE-managed server added after the inauguration that sent mass emails—including severance offers—without an apparent privacy impact assessment, seeking details on who installed and accessed the system, CISA coordination, and data handling, amid lawsuits and concerns tied to OPM’s 2014 breach. The report notes DOGE’s shifts to limit FOIA exposure, efforts to reclassify CIO roles for political appointments, and an OIG probe now underway to assess risks associated with the new or modified information systems.
