STUNNING story: 25-year-old DOGE aide was warned about his conflicts of interest at CFPB but participated in mass layoffs at the agency anyway, including the firings of the ethics lawyers who had warned him.

That's a problem. The only charging entity that would have the best chances of success would be a state AJ.

Gol darn it, this is why 25-year-olds should be working their way up in the world, not placed on top of it by whatever invisible hand. There needs to be life experience, and with any luck the accrual of some personal wisdom, before being given the responsibility of making organizational decisions.
