Exited govt: 6/07/25 (reported)

Disruption:
Concerned by Steve Davis’ attempts to stay involved with DOGE despite no longer being employed by the agency and instructions to not interact with him, DOGE staffers Yinon Weiss, Sam Corcos, Ryan Shea, and Adam Blake privately questioned Davis about his involvement.

Disruption:
Steve Davis removed DOGE staffers that he considered disloyal from shared Signal chats that DOGE had continued to use for coordination. He also used his influence at GSA to have Ryan Shea removed from his position. Other Davis targets – Yinon Weiss, Sam Corcos and Adam Blake – were able to remain at their posts but were shut out from DOGE communications.
