Federal Judge OKs DOGE Access at Treasury

 A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit that sought to block the US DOGE Service from accessing the Treasury payment system. The lawsuit raised concerns about potential exposure of private data but lacked supporting evidence.

• A group of plaintiffs, including a retirees’ group and two labor unions, claimed the DOGE Service could compromise personal information while managing issues like waste, fraud, and abuse in government spending.

• U. S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ruled that privacy concerns were understandable but stated that the plaintiffs failed to prove any imminent threat or wrongdoing.

• The judge noted that without evidence demonstrating the DOJ planned to misuse private information, there was no basis for judicial intervention.

• The DOGE Service, which was established during the Obama administration and continued under Trump, aims to identify and eliminate waste in the federal system. It has the legal authority to access necessary financial systems.

• This ruling contrasts with a previous decision by Judge Jeannette Vargas in Manhattan, who blocked DOGE's access. Vargas scheduled a hearing to assess whether DOGE had taken sufficient measures to safeguard data.

• Judge Vargas has requested a report from the Treasury Department detailing the security protocols and employee vetting related to DOGE’s access.

• The judge's ruling emphasized that mere speculation about potential harm is insufficient for a court ruling; substantial evidence is needed for intervention.

• The ongoing developments may lead to further legal discussions about executive authority in managing government resources.

The recent ruling by Judge Kollar-Kotelly allows the DOGE Service to continue its work at the Treasury, provided it adheres to privacy standards. Meanwhile, further hearings could lead to additional conditions or challenges regarding DOGE’s access, indicating continued legal scrutiny over executive powers and data safety.

It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease."
