A federal judge in Washington D.C. refused to grant a request brought by 14 attorneys general to block Elon Musk’s DOGE from accessing private information across several agencies and laying off huge segments of the federal workforce. Judge Tanya Chutkan, who was appointed by President Barack Obama, acknowledged DOGE was causing confusion in her ruling on Tuesday, but would not put a halt to the destruction of the country.

“The court is aware that DOGE’s unpredictable actions have resulted in considerable uncertainty and confusion for plaintiffs and many of their agencies and residents,” Chutkan wrote. “But the ‘possibility’ that defendants may take actions that irreparably harm plaintiffs ‘is not enough.'”

“Terminating thousands of federal employees may cause extreme harm to the individual employees, and potentially the institution writ large,” Chutkan argued. “But ‘harm that might befall unnamed third parties does not satisfy the irreparable harm requirement in the context of emergency injunctive relief, which must instead be connected specifically to the parties before the Court.'”

Chutkan’s ruling suggested there may be some possibility to put a halt to Musk’s destruction in the future if attorneys present more evidence. But it’s a lot easier to fire people than it is to rebuild things that have been torn down. More than 300 workers at the National Nuclear Security Administration were fired last week until someone apparently told the DOGE boys those are the guys who are protecting the nation’s nuclear weapons. The Trump regime wanted to rehire many of the workers, but couldn’t find contact information for many of the people who were let go, according to CNN.
