A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order preventing the Department of Education and the Office of Personnel Management from sharing sensitive personal information with representatives from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The judge found that this disclosure likely violated the Privacy Act by releasing data—including bank account numbers and Social Security numbers—without consent. The order protects current and former federal employees from potential misuse of their data by DOGE. The ruling comes in response to a lawsuit filed by several unions representing federal employees, who argue the data is being used inappropriately. The judge clarified that the order does not impede the administration’s broader policy goals, only the unauthorized release of sensitive personal information.

This includes appointments such as Pam Bondi as Attorney General, Tulsi Gabbard in intelligence, and Kash Patel in multiple roles, effectively granting Trump direct control over these agencies.

These moves, while seemingly contradictory, simultaneously serve to troll political opponents and advance a potential consolidation of power. The overall effect is a concerning concentration of power in the hands of the President.
