What Happened:

On February 7, 2025, legal challenges against DOGE’s actions began to mount, accompanied by widespread protests from government employees and advocacy groups.

Key Details:

• Nineteen state attorneys general filed lawsuits seeking to block DOGE’s access to sensitive Treasury data, arguing that such actions violate federal law and pose a significant risk to public accountability.

• Protests erupted outside key federal buildings as critics decried what they saw as an unauthorized takeover of government functions by an unelected advisory group.
