Elon Musk calls for impeachment of judge after DOGE legal blows
submitted by https://lemmy.world/u/MicroWave
Summary
Elon Musk called for U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer’s impeachment after the judge blocked his department, DOGE, from accessing sensitive Treasury records.
DOGE has faced criticism for its broad data access. Engelmayer ruled that only specialized civil servants could access Treasury records and ordered DOGE to destroy any obtained data.
Musk and GOP figures condemned the ruling, but judicial impeachment remains rare, with only eight judges removed since 1803.
The next court hearing is set for February 14.

US Democrats call for more aggressive tactics against Trump and Musk: ‘We’re going to be the opposition’
submitted by https://lemmy.world/u/MicroWave
Summary
Democrats are ramping up opposition to Trump and Musk’s brazen assault on the federal government, which critics see as a constitutional crisis.
Protests erupted after Musk’s DOGE accessed taxpayer data, prompting Democratic lawmakers to pledge stronger resistance.
Senate Democrats staged an all-night protest against budget chief Russell Vought, while some senators vowed to block Trump’s nominees. Hakeem Jeffries introduced legislation to curb DOGE, as activists push for McConnell-style obstruction.
Nationwide protests and lawsuits signal a revived anti-Trump resistance.
Growing grassroots engagement and local officials taking steps to counter Trump’s agenda reflect intensifying opposition.
