> security reasons later

What about security reasons now? The federal government includes the military. Giving DOGE “God mode” on the federal government is a national security risk right now.

“later” as in as soon as we can get the infestation removed, which would be the bigger fish needing frying.

Not to mention the open question of whether we will ever arrive at later.

Now is definitely relevant, however the ones steering the ship don't care about now. Someone will care later, that's all I personally know for sure.
