Summary
Three federal employee unions have sued the Trump administration, alleging Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent unlawfully granted Elon Musk’s full access to confidential federal payment systems.
The lawsuit claims this access endangers millions of Americans’ personal data. Meanwhile, officials resisting Doge’s demands faced consequences, including suspension.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called Doge an “unelected shadow government.”
Trump has defended Musk’s role, insisting his actions require White House approval.
As much as I like karmic justice, Unions are going to be very important for resistance on all fronts, so I personally will retain my union bashing for the police unions who don’t just want higher pay and benefits for their members (even if their version of that pursuit is incredibly susceptible to manipulation).
