DOGE v. Treasury Department
🔴 UPDATE: February 8, 2025
In a decisive legal victory, U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer has temporarily blocked Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing the U.S. Treasury’s sensitive payment systems. This comes after 19 Democratic-led states filed a lawsuit accusing the Trump administration of unlawfully granting DOGE access to critical federal financial infrastructure.
The restraining order mandates that any data obtained by DOGE since January 20 must be immediately destroyed, halting their ability to interfere with systems responsible for disbursing Social Security, Medicare, and other essential federal payments. A follow-up hearing is set for February 14, where the court will determine whether to extend the block.
New York Attorney General Letitia James, leading the coalition of states, declared, “No one is above the law, and we will not stand by while unqualified operatives jeopardize the financial stability and privacy of millions of Americans.”
This ruling strikes a critical blow to Musk’s overreach into federal systems and highlights the growing resistance against the Trump administration’s authoritarian tactics.
I’m astounded that there isn’t a huge outcry about a bunch of GenZ hackers with no apparent expertise in accounting, efficiency or government operations to be given access to our most sensitive data and systems. And this was done without background checks, approval process or oversight by a man who can’t even get a security clearance (musk) and who has huge conflicts of interest and close ties to both Russia and China!!! What the fuck could possibly go wrong here?!?!
Yeah, like they will actually destroy stolen data. Not a chance
