DOGE blew it. The latest: " Rachel Maddow unloads as DOGE 'geniuses' try to 'un-fire' nuke experts — but can't" Proof positive Musk needs to go.

Maddow then laid into Elon Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency, a task force charged with slashing trillions out of the federal deficit, and which has received fierce criticism over its sweeping cuts to numerous agencies — including some that regulate industries Musk is directly involved in.
"By Friday, the geniuses in the Trump administration had maybe Googled what this agency does or something? Maybe heard from a few members of Congress?" chided Maddow.
After sending out the termination notices, DOGE staffers tried to reverse course — "they tried to un-fire the hundreds of people from the National Nuclear Security Administration."
However, the firings were effective immediately. When the DOGE staffers tried to reach the workers affected, they found them unreachable — not having their new contact information.
"They had no way to get in touch with all those people they just fired to say, 'Oops! Sorry! Will you please come back?'" Maddow railed. "This is the level of expertise and efficiency we're dealing with, with this new administration."
Maddow continued laying into the president for allowing his top campaign donor — Musk donated about a quarter of a billion dollars last year — to send "basically random, unvetted young people with no experience and no subject matter expertise at all" into the agency that secures nuclear weapons

Here is the problem . Ie the fired workers are vital to US nuclear weapon management, and that DOGE was so disorganized that they did not even bother to have back up records in case the fired workers were essential
It is funny to when IT IS NOT funny anymore. Why is this so serious?
quote
About 300 received termination notices last week.
"Isn't there anything about the name of that agency that might suggest to you that maybe this isn't the best place to make cuts?" she asked, sarcastically. "What about National Nuclear Security?Administration bugs you and makes you think, that one is dispensable?"

At a stroke, hackers, some much younger than 25 disabled the ONE agency in charge of nuclear weapon security of the US nuclear weapon stockpile.
HELLO? Houston WE HAVE a problem, to paraphrase the SOS message given to an Apollo mission in about 1970 when a space craft had to go around the moon without landing.
