the most important thing its talking to people who have been through it before. start doing that so you have some inkling of what to look for and what might work if you have resources. a great deal of it is luck but some of it is forethought.
reminder: none of this is competent financial advice and you should probably ignore it.

After first attempting to gain access to the UDSADF offices on Wednesday—an effort that was blocked by about 30 agency employees—DOGE staffers returned to the agency on Thursday at about 10:30 am, accompanied by Pete Marocco, director of the State Department Office of Foreign Assistance, and five U.S. marshals.

cannot comment on this particular poster, but there are definitely others posting reasonably neutral articles whos posts get downvoted because of their comments and stated views; views are admittedly stupid (you know who you are, DJM), but articles that are generally ok.
