Judge orders Trump's DOGE to provide documents about dismantling federal agencies, layoffs
A judge ordered President Donald Trump's DOGE to release documents about its recommendations to dismantle federal agencies and lay off federal workers
Summary
A federal judge ordered Trump's DOGE to disclose documents on mass firings and agency cuts under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled DOGE likely falls under FOIA, rejecting claims it was exempt. DOGE, led by Elon Musk, has recommended shutting agencies like USAID and laying off tens of thousands.
CREW sued for transparency, seeking records on DOGE’s operations and directives.
Cooper set a March 20 deadline for DOGE to provide a document release schedule, citing potential irreparable harm from delays.
Y'all think they documented it?
Right? What DOGE is doing is the equivalent of going into some code, highlighting a massive chunk of it, and hitting delete. And then saying “Boom, look. Smaller file size. More efficient.”
I bet their minds are still reeling that not all information technology involves Javascript frontends or clicking buttons on a cloud's dashboard.
I'm trying to imagine these asshats trying to document anything they've done. I'm imagining something more like the Carver episode in Silicon Valley where the kid is all strung out on Adderall and has put everything into shambles, is under the table, and is having a meltdown.
Documentation? Isn't that for adults?
Leet hacker teenage dumbasses don't want to be doing any of that kind of stuff.
Thank goodness this country worships youth and trusts they somehow know tech better than anyone else. And that of course, computer tech skillz is something that just extrapolates out to every other sphere of expertise.... 🙄
