Federal workers launch a new site to share inside information about DOGE

Federal workers have launched a new website called "We the Builders" to provide a secure platform for sharing insights and experiences about the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Created by current and former federal employees, the site aims to expose how DOGE's actions impact government agencies and public services, emphasizing the importance of protecting government technology systems and data integrity.

The creators, who previously worked on improving government websites and safeguarding personal data, describe themselves as "builders" committed to public good. They contrast their work with DOGE's approach, which they criticize as "disruption without understanding." The site features anonymous blog posts comparing the U.S. Digital Service's (USDS) efficiency-driven methods with DOGE's controversial strategies.

The platform also seeks to educate the public on how DOGE's access to government databases could affect citizens nationwide. Submissions are securely collected and verified for authenticity, offering federal employees a confidential way to share their stories outside social media.

Visitors are encouraged to explore these stories to better understand DOGE's impact and support efforts to safeguard federal systems.
