Late Update: ...they removed all the DC buildings from the list. Given how unexplained and arbitrary the decision-making seems to be it seems entirely possible they’ll be back on the list soon...

As Hitler rose to power, thousands of German-Jewish refugees and their loved ones reached out to the INS—then part of the Department of Labor—applying for immigration to the United States, writing letters that began “Dear Miss Perkins…” A fascinating interview with Dr. Rebecca Graham.

Federal judge denies effort to block DOGE from accessing DOL data despite 'concerns'
DOL employees have been told to give DOGE access to any information it requests.
https://abcnews.go.com/US/judge-decide-block-doge-accessing-sensitive-labor-department/story?id=118575362
"In his ruling, federal Judge John D. Bates found that the five federal employee unions that alleged Elon Musk's cost-cutting team sought to illegally access highly sensitive #data, including medical records, failed to establish standing."
"Although the Court harbors concerns about defendants' alleged conduct, it must deny plaintiffs' motion at this time," Judge Bates said in his ruling.
During the hearing, the plaintiffs' attys argued that if #DOGE accessed #DOL data, it would cause irreparable harm to their clients.
However, in his ruling, Bates found that the plaintiffs did not show that "at least one particular member is substantially likely to suffer an injury at the hands of the defendant."
WTF?
