There were some lawsuits filed:
Doe v. OPM, Case No. 1:25-cv-234 (D.D.C.) was filed on January 27, seeking to disconnect the DOGE server from OPM systems. Today, February 4, there was a motion filed for a temporary restraining order.
Doe v. DOJ, Case No. 1:25-cv-325 (D.D.C.) was filed today, February 4. With the filing came a motion for a temporary restraining order to prevent the disclosure of the identities of the roughly 6000 FBI agents who worked on January 6 cases.
Maybe they're granted, maybe not. I hope they are. But even if these motions are denied, this will at least force the Trump administration to make public statements and representations about what they're doing. It's a semblance of transparency by making the Trump people stand up and justify this bullshit.
Yeah, it’s a good step. What I’m saying is that I think it should start to get backed up with explicit plans for how someone is volunteering to enforce the rulings. Trump clearly doesn’t give a shit about losing in court.
