  By  Kelly Garrity TRUMP/DOGE/MUSKRAT IS DESIGNED TO BE CONFUSING!  DON'T LET IT BE!  FOCUS ON WHAT'S IMPORTANT:  DEMOCRACY!  ON THE DOCKET —  The lawsuits keep coming. Fifty-two days into President Doanld Trump’s second term,  Attorney General Andrea Campbell has already sued the federal government more than half a dozen times. The latest lawsuit,  filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court for Massachusetts, seeks to stop the Trump administration from shutting down the U.S. Education Department after massive layoffs earlier this week. “ Neither President Trump  nor his secretary have the power to demolish a congressionally created department, and as attorney general but most importantly as a mom, I will continue to hold this administration accountable for illegal actions that harm our residents and economy,” Campbell said in a statement announcing the lawsuit.
