A US appeals court rejected unions' attempt to prevent the Trump administration's "department of government efficiency" (Doge) from accessing sensitive American data. The 2-1 decision overturned a lower court injunction, allowing Doge access to data at the Education, Treasury, and Personnel Management departments. The court found the unions hadn't demonstrated sufficient harm or legal standing to sue. Doge, previously led by Elon Musk, has overseen government downsizing efforts and faced numerous lawsuits.
