Jordan Wick
Wrecker
, coder, age 28
Jordan Wick is one of the few early DOGE staffers, who did not have some sort of direct link to Musk or one of his companies, having worked as an engineer at autonomous car company Waymo. He also is a cofounder of a vague civic-technology-with-AI-or-something startup named Accelerate SF with early DOGE booster Anthony Jancso; this is likely what brought him into DOGE. In DOGE itself, he has kept a relatively low profile, but he worked alongside Luke Farritor and Gavin Kliger in DOGE’s takeover of the CFPB, and he has stayed on as a full-time staffer at the agency since March 5th, even as he has been deployed elsewhere.

A system which tracks information about payments and loans for farmers, ranchers and other agricultural producers. The Farm Service Agency already provides public data extracts, so this system would only be used to get access to sensitive information in loan applications and disbursements. It might also possibly be used in DOGE’s anti-immigration efforts. (USDA) admin access NPR |

Interagency:
Emailing this time from his CFPB account, Jeremy Lewin shares the documentation for the upcoming CFPB RIF with DOGE staff posted at several agencies (Zach Terrell and Alexandra Beynon). He also includes DOGE staff at CFPB: Gavin Kliger, Chris Young and Jordan Wick. It’s unclear if they are representing their individual agencies or are just taking part as DOGE members in the conversation.

Official:

|
c.5/25
|
Disruption:
Over 200 loan recipients have their birth date voided and their accounts closed in the National Payment Service (NPS) system. This action was likely taken by Jordan Wick in response to discovering that some number of loan recipients had “1900” as their birth years (DOGE presumed similar circumstances at SSA indicated fraud when it was really issues with data entry). It is possible that this action was a pretext for closing other accounts.
