A whistleblower has accused the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) of removing and concealing sensitive data related to union activity from a National Labor Relations Board database. In response, House Democrats are asking Microsoft for information about alleged code on GitHub that may have enabled this data extraction. Supporters of the inquiry say the actions risk exposing workers to retaliation and undermine federal oversight, while critics may argue the investigation is politically motivated or based on unverified claims.
