Washington’s Selective Transparency Crackdown

So, the Justice Department is making sure that Elon Musk’s so-called "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) can’t access the Treasury Department’s payment systems—allegedly to protect federal retirees' private data. Sounds nice, but here’s the real game: the establishment hates anything that disrupts their control.

Please. This is less about protecting retirees and more about keeping decentralized finance from challenging the old boys’ club at the Treasury.
