Chatbots provide essential information for some of the most vulnerable communities. Governments don't and can't provide that kind of support, ever because it's too expensive. And now they want to take away this essential service from people. Licensing costs money! The providers will charge people!

Organizations File Emergency Suit to Stop DOGE’s Unlawful Access to Taxpayer Data From IRS Since President Trump’s inauguration, the so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) has sought to access critical data from across the government, including data that contains information...

While a court of appeals ruled in a different case that a data-sharing agreement between the IRS and ICE was not unlawful on paper, that ruling didn't even address the actual data sharing that happened last summer.

The actual data sharing is still prohibited because of our case.

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.
