Public Citizen, Democracy Forward, two of our sister groups have really played a tremendous role in challenging the elimination of workers from the workforce out of Doge. What we've done is the ACLU in the early days decided to kind of

carpet bomb probably the wrong metaphor i'm sure but to kind of drop over 40 freedom of information acts on the federal agencies telling them tell us what information doge is accessing and for what purposes and on whom right we use foia freedom of information as democracy's x-ray it's a way to make sure that you have sight lines into what's happening in our democracy when a government like this one is so opaque and so non-transparent

So recently, I think just yesterday, we then converted some of those actions into full-on lawsuits because they've been dragging their feet on giving us the data on veterans, on whether or not the IRS is turning over data on immigrants.
