US judge blocks Musk-led DOGE team from accessing Treasury Department records

ai generated text

A US judge has blocked Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing Treasury Department records. The order, issued by US District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer, restricts access to the Treasury Department's payment systems and personal and financial data to "all political appointees, special government employees, and government employees detailed from an agency outside the Treasury Department."

    1. The president does not have the power to give away Americans' private information to anyone he chooses, and he cannot cut federal payments approved by Congress.
    2. This unelected group, led by the world's richest man, is not authourised to have this information, and they explicitly sought this unauthourised access to illegally block payments that millions of Americans rely on, payments for healthcare, child care and other essential programmes.

    1. DOGE is an unlawfully constituted band of renegade tech bros combing through confidential records, sensitive data, and critical payment systems. What could go wrong?

    1. Everything at Treasury was geared towards complaint minimisation. People who receive money don't complain, but people who don't receive money (especially fraudsters) complain very loudly, so the fraud was allowed to continue.
    2. It can currently take up to a year to get on this list, which is far too long. This list should be updated at least weekly, if not daily.
    3. I do want to credit the working-level people in treasury who have wanted to do this for many years but have been stopped by prior management.
