Critical detail:

> Starlink satellite connections in the White House bypass controls meant to stop leaks and hacking.

From a skim of the article, it sounds like the Starlink was installed as part of DOGE's government-wide "unlogged/unmonitored root access to everything" deploy.



Previous articles about this suggested the connections were routed through a government datacenter nearby. Is that not the case?


Who knows who to believe?
