Summary

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will reportedly face a lawsuit from National Security Counselors shortly after Donald Trump’s inauguration.

The lawsuit alleges DOGE violates the 1972 Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), which mandates transparency, balanced representation, public access, and proper documentation for White House advisory committees.

DOGE, aimed at cutting $2 trillion in federal spending, has not followed these requirements.

Critics have called Musk’s budget-cutting goals unrealistic, as they would likely impact protected programs like Social Security and Medicare, which Trump has vowed to preserve.

    I vote that we rename this by switching “Federal” to “Civil.” Then we can sue DOGE for violating CACA. And then I can have one last chuckle before everything burns.
