“Grant cancellations at #NIH have become a game of whack-a-mole, in which #PoliticalAppointees take a mallet to any seemingly relevant #research projects that pop into view – without regard to the damage they might do.”

![New York Attorney General Letitia James has secured a significant legal victory against Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). A federal judge in Manhattan has granted a preliminary injunction, blocking DOGE and Musk from accessing sensitive Treasury Department systems containing Americans' private information and federal funds[1][2].
The ruling comes after Attorney General James led a coalition of 19 state attorneys general in filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration on February 7, 2025. The lawsuit alleged that the administration illegally provided Musk and DOGE unauthorized access to the Treasury Department's central payment system, which contains sensitive personal data such as Social Security numbers and bank account information[1][3].
Key points of the ruling:
1. Judge Jeannette Vargas of the Southern District of New York issued the preliminary injunction, extending the limitations of an existing temporary restraining order[2].
2. The order prevents the Treasury Department from allowing any DOGE team member to access payment records, systems, or data containing personally identifiable information and confidential financial details[2].
3. The judge determined that DOGE members are not permitted to access these sensitive payment systems while the lawsuit proceeds[2].
Attorney General James stated, "Today we won a court order stopping unauthorized, unelected, and unvetted individuals like Elon Musk from accessing our nation's most sensitive financial information. We will continue to fight to defend the rule of law and protect all Americans from this administration's destruction"[1].
This ruling is seen as a significant setback for the Trump administration's policy of allowing political appointees and "special government employees" championed by Elon Musk to access government systems containing sensitive information[2][5].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3epzqefaicyxkh2z3fywbmy5/bafkreiell7ff4b4rohlkdkmqi2sbfzn2fbttzrwtwir5t34en4iqrkeu6y)

To all the civil servants; keep close track of the daily comings and goings of the political appointees and report it to a confidential news journalist. We will see who the fucking slackers really are. #civilservice #politicalappointees #swampmonsters
The terrorist of 9/11 began their assault on America at Logan Airport which was run by an unqualified political appointee from the Weld campaign. God help us if this plays out again. #911 #Massport #politicalappointees #nationalsecurity.

Another addition to the next administration's #basketofdeplorables killed her father. It was an accident which she lied about in her memoir.

The message I’m getting is that, in order to succeed, I need to do more crime. #politicalAppointees
