I'm Suing DOGE

Source: Mueller She Wrote

The First Amendment Coalition (FAC) and MSW Media have filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. DOGE Service for its failure to respond to FOIA requests

Since President Donald Trump’s inauguration, Musk and DOGE have sought to remake the federal government through layoffs at dozens of agencies and have attempted to completely eliminate others, such as USAID. Yet DOGE itself, from how it is staffed to how it makes its decisions and carries out its actions, is largely a mystery. Attempts to uncover the how and why behind DOGE have been met with stonewalling.

In the current environment of capitulation, we feel it’s important to take a stand. Watching firms like Paul, Weiss and Skadden Arps offer tens of millions of dollars in legal work to the Trump administration must feel like a gut punch to their clients who expect them to stand up to a shakedown. And seeing media outlets like ABC, The Washington Post, Paramount/CBS bend the knee has also been a betrayal of the public trust. That leaves it up to the rest of us to take a stand.

On February 11th, I sent a Freedom of Information Act request to DOGE for emails. They had 30 days to respond and failed to do so. That’s why today, MSW Media and the First Amendment Coalition (who also filed a FOIA request with DOGE that went ignored) are asking a court to order DOGE to respond to our requests.

Another part of me expects it to go no where. I hope the optimistic side wins.
