Lawyer submits 'new evidence' in case against DOGE, using Trump's own words

www.nbcnews.com Lawyer submits 'new evidence' in case against DOGE, using Trump's own words

The lawyer pointed to Trump's saying during his joint address to Congress that the Department of Government Efficiency "is headed by Elon Musk."

Summary

Lawyers challenging DOGE's legality filed new evidence after Trump stated during his congressional address that Elon Musk "heads" the Department of Government Efficiency.

This contradicts previous White House statements designating Amy Gleason as acting administrator while describing Musk only as a "special government employee" and advisor.

The case centers on determining who actually leads DOGE, with legal analysts suggesting the ambiguity may be intentional to shield Musk and the department from lawsuits.

Cool. Enforcement of consequences?
- "pls don't do that ☹️"
  
  You, and everyone up voting you, need to examine yourself to see why you're preemptively surrendering to Trump and masking it as cynicism.
  You're joining the crowd of capitulation and cowardice, chanting "Resistance is futile".
  This is a Team Trump move.
  You're creating the impression that he's invulnerable and unstoppable and in doing so making it easier for others to give up.
  If you're burned out, then take a break. The fight isn't going anywhere. Don't promote this "Trump can't be stopped" mindset. It's damaging the efforts made by the people who are actively resisting him.
- Best I can do is a sensationalized headline.

Ya don't say
