**DOGE damage tracker**

‪Jacob Harris‬ - @jacobharr.is‬

So, as you might know, I have been in the process of tracking the activities of DOGE staff across the federal government. And now I've built an auto-updating website to browse the data
It's not done (lots more content to write), but news is moving fast, so here it is dogetrack.info

https://dogetrack.info/ and https://github.com/harrisj/doge_track

**DOGE is Implementing a Regime Change** https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/02/doge-civil-servant-purge/681671/?gift=hVZeG3M9DnxL4CekrWGK38OD13Rx0lhyd5fWjR1YAEk

**Federal Workers Against DOGE** - The goal of the group is to inspire federal workers to feel brave enough to defy and disobey illegal orders from DOGE.  Text NoDOGE to 51905 to join the fight.
