Summary

Elon Musk called for U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer’s impeachment after the judge blocked his department, DOGE, from accessing sensitive Treasury records.

DOGE has faced criticism for its broad data access. Engelmayer ruled that only specialized civil servants could access Treasury records and ordered DOGE to destroy any obtained data.

Musk and GOP figures condemned the ruling, but judicial impeachment remains rare, with only eight judges removed since 1803.

The next court hearing is set for February 14.

    I find that in life you can measure how much of a good idea something is for everyone else by how loud the trust fund baby in the group is screeching. The louder the better.
