The FBI's counterintelligence capabilities have reportedly lost 50–60% of their personnel. Public corruption squads have been gutted. And the government watchdogs tasked with identifying risks are being weakened. These changes have consequences. @lcandersonintl.bsky.social

Falls das zu den Höchstgerichten geht: Ich bin sehr gespannt. Die Literatur zu Art 10 EMRK bzw zu Art 22a B-VG ist sich – soweit ich das überblicke – relativ einig, dass Public Watchdogs auch von Gesetzgebungsorganen Informationen bekommen können sollten.

Nur: Kann man das am Rechtsweg durchsetzen?
BVwG: Kein Recht auf Informationszugang im Bereich der Gesetzgebung | Parlament Österreich
Auch Journalistinnen und Journalisten als „public watchdogs“ kommt kein Recht auf Zugang zu Informationen aus dem Bereich der Gesetzgebung zu.

DOGE’s reported savings numbers sparked heavy skepticism from watchdogs. Following chaotic mass layoffs across federal agencies like the GSA, NNSA, and IRS, the administration was forced to rehire hundreds of essential workers, costing taxpayers billions in back-pay.

As MAGA crashes and burns, some adherents will turn to the stabbed-in-the-back myth "Israel betrayed MAGA by tricking Trump into the Iran War."

Then sell an increase in congressional funding as “fighting the waste fraud and abuse” sell it as “fierce watchdogs”

And increase the judge of the U.S. Capitol Police - if it were up to me they’d add a 0 to the end
