Donald Trump's ambitious plan to overhaul the wasteful federal government is rapidly becoming mired in the 'lawfare' that plagued his first administration.
Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been tearing through Washington at warp speed since the inauguration.
His crack team of young nerds has left bureaucrats sobbing outside the shuttered USAID offices and infuriated cantankerous career civil servants who guard the Treasury Department's obscure payments system.
But now Trump is facing his first test and the opposition's game plan is familiar: wage war through the courts with Attorney Generals backed by the Hungarian billionaire George Soros and judges appointed by Joe Biden and Barack Obama.
On Friday, Soros-backed New York Attorney General Letitia James led a group of 18 other Democratic state AGs in a lawsuit against the Trump administration to 'stop the unauthorized disclosure of Americans' private information and sensitive data.'
The filing alleges that the DOGE team has been 'unlawfully' granted access to a 'variety of sensitive personally identifiable information' through the US Treasury Department's Bureau of Fiscal Services (BFS).
New York Southern District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer - who was appointed by Obama - issued an emergency restraining order against the US Treasury Department and Trump on Saturday.
The order commanded that no one outside of the US Treasury is allowed access to the department's information.

What’s next? A judge returns the security clearances to those who Trump took them away from?
Here is the anti-DOGE scam -—
New York Attorney General Letitia James files her garbage in ultra-liberal New York courts with ultra-liberal, hand-picked (this is called judge shopping) New York judges.
—This lawfare involves venue shopping -— New York and Washington DC courts are prime courts to hear anti-Trump cases.
—Judge shopping. Which is illegal. But in corrupt and scummy NY, this is what is being done.
What do they want us to do, wait till June for a ruling? Amy says "think of the li'l designer chilluns whats needs stuff 'n' things".
Prissy, Wisegal, and the Yenta are sure to want to chirp in. Roberts is too busy molesting choir boys. Who else?
No explanation how any of this “harms” the states involved. Or why they have standing to bring the suit.
Eff every damn one of them. The SCOTUS needs to step in and stop this lawfare bs right now. Or its going to be death by a thousand cuts, bleeding the administration [and the taxpayer] for no legitimate reasons.
Unlawfully raid the guy’s house to find ANYTHING then turn around so no one is allowed to find ANYTHING. Something is out of kilter hea.
There is an obvious problem with the Judge’s order and if a layperson can see the problem, the order is illegal and violates the law. As such and the way it is written could and should could get the Judge removed, disbarred, and impeached.
The obvious flaw? Ordering the destruction of government property and evidence. He cannot make that order. Either it is Federal Evidence in some sort of crime exposing the democrat’s machine or it is evidence that Musk’s team violated some sort of law. Which at this time the democrats have not been able to prove or specify.
In either case, ordering the destruction of government property or evidence is a flagrant order.
This ain’t first term Trump - for them to have gone nuclear less than a month in to Trump2 shows how desperate they are
Lawfare will now become the issue- they will lose.
The only solution is to have anti-Trump cases expedited to the Supreme Court. Step two is to pressure Roberts and Coney-Barrett to do the right thing. Flaky Coney-Barrett is a land mine that I trust less than Roberts. It seems that liberal courts approve or reject "standing", on a 100% partisan basis.
They probably have a Plan B and a Plan C for every situation. It just may take a bit of time.
We tend to forget, he's been in office less than a month...
this is clear, obvious, salient, disgusting TREASON.
there is a lawful solution.
“I would think that the Trump team has already game-planned this out.”
My game plan would have Elon going out to recruit the best lawyers possible, pay them whatever they like. Make them freakin’ rich!
Elon has the amazing reputation and charm factors to get this done.
Aside from Trump, Elon has been in many lawsuits. He knows what to do.
Flaky Coney-Barrett is a land mine that I trust less than Roberts
Thats for danged sure. Seems like she deliberately over-compensates so as not to appear “partisan” somehow, making her a leftist leaning partisan. How many times can you vote with the wizened latina and hyphenated kenji-brown until you are pretty much aligned with them?
Yeah...he's Pres. Trump's 'OPTIMA TAX RELIEF' (inside joke)
We have the Sec of Treasury appointed. SO DOGE will take a team and transfer them to Sec of Tres. office. Then these folks meet the crooked judge’s order and get working on the accounts.
I’ve said this before, do exactly what Barry used to do and ignore it.
Then declare an Emergency and double down.
They want to play legal all of a sudden and follow the “law” I say we are not going to play that game
Then have Bissent HIRE THESE TECH NERDS!
Coney Barrett is just ANOTHER WEAK SISTER. like Collins and Murky.
Whats next?
Its called the end run. If the judicial order is unconstitutional....President Trump can just ignore them.
Just ignore the leftist judicial clowns and continue to do the job.
See if the courts will order the arrest of President Trump or his legitimate proxies.I doubt they can.No one will execute such an arrest order.
Audit, audit, audit.Expose, expose, expose.Close , close, close.
Give Elon Mush and his team armed escorts with shoot to kill authority.I have no problem with that at all.
