Summary

Gavin Kliger, a 25-year-old DOGE goon, allegedly screamed at Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) employees during a 36-hour shift to expedite layoffs of 90% of staff.

A court paused the firings, citing violations of an earlier order requiring individual assessments before terminations. Kliger told staffers to ignore the court-ordered individual-by-individual assessment requirement.

Kliger is a 25-year-old “internet edgelord” who claims to have ditched seven figures in Silicon Valley to work at DOGE. He is a 2020 Berkeley graduate and “has boosted white supremacists and misogynists online,” Reuters reported.

Kliger has already overseen 1,500–1,700 layoffs. Only three senior staff remain, raising concerns about CFPB’s ability to fulfill legal duties.

    Normally I’d joke about how “We know where they sleep” but this goon doesn’t seem to do much of that. I still hope someone beats the shit out of him, and the rest of the conservatives.

      You also saw the late-January Redditor spreadsheet listing his personal cell phone number, parents’ home address, and his personal email address? I can’t believe that dude was dumb enough to leave all that information casually lying around on the world wide web for just anyone to find through public search channels.
