Can they appeal or try again, somehow? Is there any other recourse?

That explains some of it, like the firings and buyout offers, but another judge imposed a temporary restraining order blocking them from Treasury (although it might already be too late), and I thought there was at least one more. It’s already getting difficult to keep track…

have you checked out our DOGE Tracker?

It has every single Dept that DOGE is going after with updates in chronological order of what's happening.

Every update that gets sent out gets added to the main tracker.

By the way I'm in the process of creating a separate section for the tracker so people don't get spammed with emails unless they subscribe to that section

I don't think they can appeal on the standing issue, though I'm not a lawyer. The key would be to find someone with standing since the judge already seems to lean in the correct direction.

They don’t have standing? Seriously?Obviously I’m not a lawyer either, otherwise I would’ve read the ruling, and I almost mentioned it in my reply, but I was sure that Labor Unions would have standing regarding the Labor Department!! If not them, who would?

My best guess is that they won't have standing until someone is actually impacted. I forget the name of the doctrine, but there's an exception to this, and it very rarely gets applied. Something to the effect that you can get an injunction (I think that's the term in this case, though not sure) before an adverse action takes place. That could potentially be a venue for an appeal, but again, I'm not a lawyer

F*ck. The narrative on State TV is that this is a democrat meltdown- they don’t want to be “audited” because it cuts off the gravy train of their survival. Please don’t get fatigued and let these actions get normalized.

Dem Leadership needs to get a unified cohesive message. A simple one to get behind would be something like:

"We don't want dudes named 'Big Balls' who get fired from CyberSecurity firms and brag about being 'racist before it was cool' to be able to go rummaging through people's SSNs, tax documents and the most secured parts of our government"

Instead, though, they'll give a 1239812380976-word speech broken down and split between 25 different people... We need a "How not to suck at messaging" class that Dems should be required to take when they get elected.

Do we know “why”? I’ve read some of his rulings that seem to be pretty fair. Has Trump reached him too?

Supposedly a standing issue. I'm no lawyer, so can't say for certain. It did seem like he felt very concerned about what DOGE is trying to do, but felt his hands were tied due to standing requirements.
