Another Day, Another Lawsuit

     From CNBC:

A group of disability advocates filed a federal lawsuit against the Social Security Administration and the so-called Department of Government Efficiency on Wednesday aimed at stopping cuts to the agency’s services.

Recent changes at the Social Security Administration under DOGE — including staff reductions, the elimination of certain offices and new requirements to seek in-person services — have made it more difficult for individuals with disabilities and older adults to access benefits, the lawsuit argues.

The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

The plaintiffs include the National Federation of the Blind, the American Association of People with Disabilities, Deaf Equality, the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, the Massachusetts Senior Action Council and individual beneficiaries. ...

    There is a staggering amount of litigation against the Trump Administration for the brutality it has caused across the government. If you're on X or Bluesky follow the feeds of the Trump Litigation Bot if you dare. You'll be overwhelmed. This litigation has to be sapping the resources of even the Department of Justice.

There won't DOJ lawyers able to process what's happening if #DOGE_OPM executes as planned. Binding up the courts is also part of the plan in case no one noticed.
