A federal judge in Washington, D.C. has denied an attempt to block the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E) from accessing the U.S. Treasury's payment system, citing a lack of evidence of data exposure or imminent risk. However, D.O.G.E remains blocked from the Treasury's Bureau of the Fiscal Service due to a separate decision in New York City that claimed the process of granting access was rushed and posed a risk of disclosing confidential financial information. D.O.G.E, created through an executive order by President Donald Trump, has faced opposition and legal challenges for its aggressive approach to budget cuts and staff reductions. Trump recently met with D.O.G.E founder Elon Musk and his Cabinet secretaries to discuss restructuring the federal workforce. Critics argue that D.O.G.E is an overreach of presidential power, while Republican lawmakers express concerns over voter backlash and lack of transparency.
