BREAKING — All FDIC employees just received an email confirming DOGE presence at the agency. "The DOGE team has neither requested nor been granted access to sensitive bank information." We'll see how long that remains true. Text of email shared with me:
@altnps.bsky.social
Just another outrage. How is this being authorized? What is DOGE's official status? Who is the employer of these individuals? Who has the authority to discipline or fire them? Why are we not getting answers?
So DOGE *IS* a federal agency now? "Federal employees"?
What do we do when the FDIC looks to have invited the wolf into the house? www.fdic.gov/news/speeche...
Buy your fireproof safe before tariffs hit them.
Yikes, we do NOT need a bank run right now.
Just because they say they don’t, doesn’t mean that they’re telling the truth.
If you wanted to rattle people's confidence in the US Dollar as a reliable store of value, screw with the FDIC.
@warren.senate.gov @adamkinzinger.bsky.social @schiff.senate.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov
Big story @maddow.msnbc.com
I think a run on the banks would make a nice end of this shit week.
What exactly are the "appropriate clearances"? Who is exactly minding the store at this time?
FDIC insured bank accounts will be up to $1 going forward.
OK, now I have to fess to my spouse that he was right all along. Savings should be buried in the yard.
This is terrifying.
What gets me...everything is like a YO YO. Every Friggin Government Department Has So Much Control Over Everything And They can Do anything At Any Time. Too Scary for me.
Glad I pulled all of my money out of a traditional bank last month, then!
i’ve heard that ncua is also in doge’s sights. may wanna call your congress critters because even the short ones shouldn’t wan to see bank runs
STOP the STEAL! All organizations leading the fight and Congress unify to block DOGE from invading the government buildings! New strategy must emerge now. Our data is being stolen! My data is being stolen by my government.
If I had a mask, or just wanted to rifle through records, security would wrestle me to the ground. But these clowns….
It's like find out the horrible fungus that is killing everyone has made it to you town
Going to match up your taxes to your bank accounts to build more surveillance around what you buy and who from.
They are looking for more ways to make money
@infinitescream.bsky.social
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
They’ve only been the kiss of death everywhere else. But fuck.
It's time to remove these vermin from our government! DEPORT MUSK. ARREST the MUSKRATS 💙 IMPEACH THE RAPIST FELON 💙 TIME FOR REGIME CHANGE 💙
NOOOO! Not the FDIC!! Seems like they really are trying to recreate the Great Depression
Ready to start storing my money under the mattress...
A close family member just lost her NSA contract job where she vetted people for Top Secret clearance because “they aren’t doing that anymore”. Think about that.
This is bs. - a clearance holder
Plus I’m definitely believing my relative over some random anonymous guy on Bluesky.
You might have it now but my relative lost her contract because “no new hires. In that top secret category.
Her losing her contract is not at all the same thing as “they’re not vetting clearance holders anymore” which I assure you they are lmfao. That being said, I’m sorry she lost it and I hope she can find other work. Fuck Elon.
Already got another job for a state government
Doing similar background checks for state employees.
No words but a gif
I don’t believe anyone of them have clearance , but no one will question it anyway
These guys are behaving they are pulling off some grade changing hack to make their grades all A's. These systems are all compromised now and no way they should be left after this is all said and done and we start talking about how to rebuild.
I would think if FDIC is ended, I would see myself taking most of my money out of my Chemung Canal Trust Company bank.
Right? Why not. It’ll be no safer in a bank than under your mattress.
This sounds ominous!
Time to put your money under your mattress.
If your country is in deep debts, it makes sense to ruin your currency to lower the debts.
It's that private banking information?
Not an economist, but my understanding is that FDIC works because we have faith that it will work, which is based on an impressive record.
Thank you for keeping us apprised.
They're going to steal our money.
We're a week away from everyone needing to put their cash under a mattress. We're already showing signs of financial market strain. A collapse of a regional bank and a lack of FDIC response will start a panic and a bank run.
Wasn't there a thing about a recommendation to invoke the Insurrection Act on 4/20?
they're imploding America. it's unbelievable. like how do they do the fashy shit they want if they can't pay the cops or ICE agents or national guardsmen because there's no money anymore?
billion dollar police department budgets require the ability to spend a billion dollars every year on something that doesn't produce goods and services. surveillance cameras and police drones and MRAP parts aren't cheap. they're imploding their ability to even do a fascism, why?
Don't need the police when you have radicalized MAGA doing it for them
they are good as a threat of stochastic terrorism but they don't have access to military hardware or the mass surveillance system
the police need to be full on paramilitary occupation forces to contain the level of anger and inequality we have now. a crazy with an AR-15 maybe coming to your house isn't that.
The gloomy response to that is that they'll probably pay all these guys under the table.
with what money? they're not gonna be able to afford it, under or above the table at this rate
My best guess is that it would come from Daddy Trump's slush fund, built with the bribes he's getting from businesses. Yes, I know Donald is also infamous for not paying people, but these murderous doofs will tell themselves they're different.
Then the crime goes crazy. Good times
Well, now we’ll see banks start failing like a Trump stock and bond market.
FDIC is NOT taxpayer funded. It's funded by assessments on insured banks. From the FDIC website: www.fdic.gov/consumers/co... www.fdic.gov/resources/de...
Suddenly my mattress is looking like a good option
If I were more a cynic, I might wonder if today's DOGE FDIC plans helped inform Trump's tariff "pause" yesterday.
Would an FDIC betray America & allow a DOGE being access to restricted data?
Time to put all of our money under our mattresses to avoid bank runs?
Great, I need to pull to my money from banks and ship it to Europe.
Time to pull cash out of savings and hide it in the house!
You really think they won’t come and ransack your house? Who will stop them?
First they came for my CIA .38 special but i shot them Then they came for my JUDGE handgun but i shot them Then they came for my 12 gage shotgun but i shot them Then they came for my AR-15 and i shot them Soon, there were no one left to shoot!
Gonna be an explosion of mattress purchases - regardless of tariffs - where everyone will soon be doing their banking …
Bendier or Bendler? Is this one of those emails with strategically placed typos employed to catch leaks?
Good fucking catch!!
Good catch. Makes me know he didn’t write it.
Seems very DOGE’d!
My question is, how much RANSOM WARE are they installing on these servers? Their time on this earth has been shortened tremendously, and if/when this fascist cult loses, will they name their price to regain access to EVERYTHING?
Well of course! Elon has to cross check and confirm bank account numbers and balances with those he appropriated from the SSA doesn't he?
Social Security 401K Cash savings. The legislative branch better step the F up.
Aaaaand this is when I withdraw the remainder of my savings. Fuck DOGE
Oh ****. This is the justification for the Insurrection Act on 4/20. A country-wide bank run would just about do it.
What “clearance?”
What?
i'm personally going to use cash and i cannot recommend you do the same for *reasons*
if I had savings i'd be concerned about this. I still am but I'd only be out like $400 if the FDIC isn't there for me
This f^*king regime has got to go.
They don't have to request anything. They have hackers. As long as they are in the building, and allowed to plug anything in, the data will be taken and some erased.
As anticipated…. This is horrifying.
They’re gonna investigate why Silicon Valley Bank was bailed out for more than the FDIC guarantees right? Right?!
Well. Fuck.
No more bank bailouts like what happened post 2008 market crash? 🤔 Oh, yeah, Musk wants all of that tax revenue, I forgot.
DOGE is like a band of pirates, except way lamer
It's Thursday. DoGE prefers to rummage through private data on weekends when there are few, if any, prying eyes. That's what shitweasels do.
Time for an old fashioned run on the banks!
😡😡😡😡😡
One of these days an unstable government employee is going to bludgeon the DOGE kids.
The same hedge funders who convinced Chump to pause his tariff mayhem have likely also told him to tone it down re FDIC or he’ll cause a run on banks. Which reminds me…gotta run
So this dan guy is a fucking piece of shit quisling. DOXX the hell out of him, whatever his actual last name might be!
What could go wrong????
“The DOGE team has neither requested nor been granted access to sensitive bank information."
Elon is breaking everything is sight.
That's what spoiled apartied brats do.
Why aren’t they physically barred from entry
Can’t have guns in a federal building?
@warren.senate.gov @edmarkey.bsky.social
Thank you for your dedicated journalism, esp in these times. 💖
Why are they there?
So soon even CD’s will not be safe from Trump/Doge.
Thank you for your reporting.
separating people from their money is on par with separating people from their guns 🔫
send audio/video please
Interesting: www.amundsendavislaw.com/event-bank-r...
Should I be running to the bank before they close for the weekend?
@nick-carmody.bsky.social ⚖️🧵
Isn't there some type of law to prevent these goons from trashing government property and people?
is it just me, or does this seem much tamer than how DOGE has approached other agencies? At least based on this email. I've been waiting for them to attack the FDIC and just assumed it would once again be his Children of the Corn kicking out the adults in the room.
There is absolutely no need for efficiency checks on the FDIC
so sorry. the banks are woke now.
Right. This is beyond scary.
did anybody ask the "constituency and stakeholders" if this was something they desired, or is it just standard boilerplate bullshit corporate talk?
Think I’ll pull all but whats needed for bills.
@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov @repluzrivas.bsky.social What are you doing to protect your constituents’ savings from these vultures?
🤬 I wonder which "Doge Team member" held the gun virtually to his head while proferring the pen with which to sign the statement, worded as it is 🙄
I've confirmed three DOGE representatives arrived this morning at FDIC headquarters in DC, which is on 17th St. NW right across from the White House.
there is no other reason they're there but to get that data
Per FDIC source, the three DOGE staffers at FDIC are Brooks Morgan, Adam Ramada and Anthony Armstrong. All three were just added to the agency's email system.
Every day is unbearably unbelievable.
Remember their names.
Brooks Morgan being the one bringing the AI, Adam Ramada the engineer to insert it, and Anthony Armstrong the banker to weaponize it. It's clearer once you realize DOGE is for installing and constructing the kleptocracy because Demanding Oligarch Gets Everything. bsky.app/profile/mari...
If FDIC does not continue to exist to protect our dollars while they're in the bank. I recommend everybody every single person pull all their money out of the bank. #RunOnBanks #FDIC
And do what with it? I ask that sincerely as a risk averse retiree.
To be clear if your money is in the stock markets right now don't touch it. You don't want to lock in your loss . Just hold still eventually market will come back don't know how long it'll take. During the Great Depression when there was run on banks the gov't stopped people from taking money out
Okay that's assuming any of us have money by then. What are they doing in the 1930s in the banks went belly up. It's time to do some historical research. I believe they buried it in their backyards in a can but I'm not sure.
I’d also break news if I was a journalist and wasn’t protecting my sources from my editors, who are all snitches, and the owner of my publication didn’t also have rocket ships.
“Brooks” for a first name. lol
Do I need to withdraw a lot of cash, just in case...?
I can’t wait until these losers have to face a gen X woman
Trump will not be President forever! If these guys do ANYTHING illegal, PROSECUTE them in the next administration! Per Google, “the statute of limitations on financial crimes is generally 5 years”! Get their names and pictures out there folks!
DOGE isn't real! Wtaf? It's not a dept. They don't have jurisdiction for anything. They should be able to kick them right in the balls if they try to enter the building. This country is a fuckin joke.
Isn’t the FDIC not even funded with taxpayer money? What even is the possible justification for DOGE goons thrashing around in there? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills (statement applicable to basically everything these days)
"Catch-22 says they can do anything that we can't stop them from doing."
it's paid for by the banks.
ah yes but what if the banks are just paying too gosh darned much because the agency is super inefficient?
Won’t someone think of those poor little banks for once??
Wait. . Wuuuut???? Am I supposed to be worried about my meager savings, now?
I’m inclined to get all my cash out now and bury it in a steel box at an undisclosed location.
Cash won’t do you much good if they kill the FDIC and collapse the economy. Shelf stable food would be more valuable than actual cash.
That’s why I’d bury it, for future use, in the event we see the return of liberty and justice for all. I suppose the doge bois could get their dirty little hands on data and obliterate my accounts. Then I really would have nothing.
If it stops being useful, it’s just paper that doesn’t even burn well. Currency that’s devalued like that doesn’t usually recover. My point was that you’d be better off going to buy food with it than burying the paper.
It's going to be a Three DOGE night (sorry)
😳👎😮
Maybe the bank examiners won't be coming for a visit later this month. 🤷♂️
Imagine if Jpow and Biden hadn’t bailed out the crypto bros, they wouldn’t have financed Trump 2.0, and we wouldn’t be where we are now…
Total bullshit
What exactly *wasn’t* working about FDIC that the chuds decided they needed to start throwing wrenches into the works? (Not that they have ever provided receipts on “inefficiency” or “waste/fraud/abuse” in other agencies.)
The idea is they need to move authority over the FDIC out from an independent organization and allow it to be managed by the Department of Treasury so that a political appointee can determine which institutions qualify for insurance/the rules going forward. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
I think they intend to do away with insurance altogether.
Scott Bessent, currently one of Trump's top tariff cheerleaders, deciding an institution takes undue risk and banks critics of the administration can issue an ultimatum that they need to lose those "risky" clientele or lose access to FDIC insurance.
Chat. It’s time for a run on the banks.
#thebanksareoutofmoney
Omg
The FDIC is not under the Executive Branch, is it?
there’s going to be a run on the banks and people should maybe get in before that
I have a feeling we're all about to be F'd/DIC'd
keep us posted
This is really worrisome.
I wish I could post the look that my husband, who works in banking, gave me when I just told him this.
That won't last.
They should every step they need to prevent access. Every step. They're going to steal our money from our accounts. In Handmaid's Tale, they froze women's bank accounts. Do not allow it.
I'm fully expecting them to actually do this
All of the government's IT systems will get completely jacked up beyond any quick fix.
I tried to post an article about this to the news subreddit and the mods there removed it without comment…
every harm - every crisis belongs to Trump/Musk & #Republicans 👿☠️ Congress - you all just going to sit on your hands??!! we know the republicans are worthless @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @democrats.senate.gov
Anyone who even hints at tampering with the FDIC is working to sabotage America.
OMG!!!
I am NOT bailing out banks again. I refuse.
This is a coup
Now I need to go to the gym and rage lift. These people have got me working overtime to combat ny anxiety.
I mean, the OCC just announced a significant data breach that roughly coincides with DOGE being in Treasury, so…
It sounded like they want to verify and identify who’s belong in the 1% club or the 99% aka the pheasant club like JD Vance puts it.
So are they actually trying to cause bank runs?
With the blatant market manipulation and economic jihad, I’d say yes!
I believe so.
It may be pointless to do a bank run because they are doing a great job of causing the currency to collapse. At that point. After treasury bonds have been dumped, he’ll probably just default on the debt. That way the money going toward interest can be given to billionaires.
Oh boy, this isn't going to end well
When do the bank runs begin?
If the FDIC folds people are just going to have to start banking in other countries that will provide insurance for depositors.
