EPIC, Democracy Forward, and a federal worker filed suit today against the so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) over its illegal seizure of personnel records and payment system data—actions which constitute the largest data breach in American history. Our suit aims to shut down unlawful access to agency data systems and restore the privacy and security safeguards that the Elon Musk-run DOGE has blatantly violated.
I didn’t say anything about vigilantes though. I’m talking about the courts. If they don’t find their balls soon the magats will be too entrenched. It’s not too late yet but the clock is ticking.
It’s actually up to Congress, the courts have spoken and trump is signaling he’s going to ignore them.
Musk is absolutely the purview of the court system though.
And he doesn’t have a secret service detail, afaik. Just average, paid bodyguards who can also be arrested for obstruction of justice.
But it remains to be seen if any judges will be brave enough to dare to stand up to fascism. Merchan wasn’t, and Trump was literally at his mercy as a private citizen.
