Judge temporarily limits DOGE access to Treasury Department payment system

Salon  

A federal judge signed off on an agreement Thursday that would temporarily limit the Department of Government Efficiency's access to sensitive Treasury Department payment systems. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotellyon issued her ruling with the consent of both the unions and the Treasury Department, which is now barred from providing DOGE access to “to any payment record or payment system of records maintained by or within the Bureau of the Fiscal Service." Despite Treasury Department denials to the contrary, though, a WIRED report stated that DOGE staffers have actually enjoyed read-write access, which could allowed them to rewrite code that controls Social Security, tax payments and more. According to CNN, Krause and Elez led DOGE's efforts to shut down payments to USAID employees using the Treasury Department's payment processing system, a step so out of line with normal process that former Acting Secretary David Lebryk, a career civil servant, told DOGE agents that he did not believe “we have the legal authority to stop an authorized payment certified by an agency."
