PUBLIC CITIZEN IS WORKING TO PROTECT AMERICANS!    We have major breaking news in one of our lawsuits to stop the Trump regime’s attack on the federal government. On Friday afternoon, a federal judge ruled that the Trump administration cannot shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — and must undo the actions already taken to dismantle it — while the case proceeds. Here are a few things the judge said in her 112-page ruling (when she says “plaintiffs” she is talking about our side): Trump officials were “fully engaged in a hurried effort to dismantle and disable the agency entirely ... in complete disregard for the decision Congress made 15 years ago, which was spurred by the devastating financial crisis of 2008 and embodied in the United States Code, that the agency must exist...

The funds will be paid to the nonprofits and aid organizations involved in the lawsuit. A federal judge won’t restrict DOGE access to Treasury data A federal judge  declined  to block the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing Treasury Department data in a lawsuit from advocacy and union groups. However, DOGE's access to Treasury data is  restricted  by a court order in a separate lawsuit from Democratic attorneys general.

  We want to share updates on several of Public Citizen’s ongoing lawsuits against the Trump regime. But first, a few quick notes: So far, Public Citizen has filed seven lawsuits against the regime since Donald Trump returned to power. We filed the first of those lawsuits within moments of Trump being sworn in for the second time. Lawsuits can get a lot of attention when they are first filed and at certain steps along the way. But the work doesn’t stop just because a case isn’t in the news. Our legal team is working almost around the clock. Not  quite  literally — they do go home to see their families and get some sleep — but just about. They know, as do you, that the very future of this country is in jeopardy. And they are giving everything they have as part of the broader movement to refuse tyranny. OK, on to the updates. We’ll start with the most recent lawsuit then work backwards in time. If you’ve been following along over the past few weeks, look for double-asterisk...
