CUT OFF: Judge Removes DOGE's Access to Treasury

A New York judge has barred Elon Musk's department of government efficiency from accessing the U.S. Treasury payment system. About a dozen Democratic states sued last night - with many legal actions fighting President Trump's newly created "department" in court.

Judge Paul Engelmayer ruled political appointees and “special government employees”—like members of Musk’s team—must be cut of from access from the Treasury’s systems until another New York-based judge can rule on the issue next week.

Engelmeyer’s ruling came after a group of 19 Democratic state attorneys general sued Trump over DOGE’s Treasury access, arguing the move put personal information at risk, exceeded Treasury’s legal authority and could lead to DOGE unconstitutionally blocking spending that’s already been approved by Congress (a court order in a separate lawsuit said only two DOGE staffers can have read-only access).
