U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled Tuesday that 14 states can proceed with their claims against Musk and DOGE. The states, through their attorneys general, sued in February over the defendants’ alleged constitutional violations.
The states had asked Chutkan to temporarily block DOGE from accessing any data systems or terminating any federal employees. But the judge denied that request on Feb. 18. She found that there were legitimate questions about Musk’s authority but said there weren’t grounds to justify a temporary restraining order.
Chutkan agreed Tuesday to dismiss President Donald Trump as a defendant in the lawsuit, but she refused to dismiss the claims against Musk and DOGE.

BWUH?!
Right there with you after what they fucking did to the Institute of Peace offices. Fucking insane.
Sounds like she handed them a shovel to bury themselves with
Oh no how unfortunate.
which 14 states? I’d like to make sure mine is on that list. And so should everyone else.
Plaintiffs: The lawsuit was initiated by New Mexico, with Arizona and Michigan as co-leads, and joined by 11 other states: California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington.
Surprised Maine isn’t on the list after Trump’s multiple threats and fund cutting schemes.
Can’t be NC, because our elected officials made sure our AG cant do shit.
