Three U.S. government employee unions filed a lawsuit Monday against the Treasury, alleging that its sharing of confidential information of millions of Americans with the ELoon Muskolini-run Department of Government Efficiency violated the law. Despite its name, the Department of Government Efficiency, also known by the acronym DOGE, is not a federal department but a Temporary Organization to be terminated on July 4, 2026. It has attracted much controversy since it was formed via Twitler’s Jan. 20th executive order to trim spending from the U.S. budget and shrink the federal government. The lawsuit, filed Monday by Public Citizen Litigation Group and State Democracy Defenders Fund, accuses the Treasury, its secretary Scott Bessent and the Bureau of the Fiscal Service of violating the Privacy Act of 1974 and the Internal Revenue Code. The lawsuit alleges that last week, the Treasury illegally granted Muskolini and DOGE-affiliated individuals full access to the bureau’s data computer systems. |
