When DOGE entered the USIP building IN March to replace its leadership, fire its staff, and assume building ownership, it demonstrated some more developed techniques than those employed by Hitler in his government's early days of becoming a dictatorship.

Without any legitimate vetting by a federal court or legislature,Trump alone ordered DOGE to wreak havoc on the databases and information systems of any congressionally-funded organization he wanted to silence, disable or kill. Just like any would-be dictator would do.

Some of USIP's former leadership contested the legality of these moves in court, citing the agency's independent structure, and on May 19, Judge Beryl Howell ruled in favor of USIP.

DOGE is arguably an illegal misappropriation of a congressionally created and funded agency of the government with a chartered mission to make government computer systems that are used by the public more accessible to the vast majority of potential users. What DOGE is now is apparently a privacy invading, data-harvesting vehicle of Elon Musk and a tool forTrump to weaken agencies of government that have any potential to interfere with the narcissist/megalomaniac-in-chief's powers.
