One of the biggest moves that Donald Trump has made when it comes to cleaning up corruption and excess spending in our federal government is to create the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and put Elon Musk in charge of it.

Musk has been doing all he can to cut federal spending, something that has made Democrats furious. Across the country, liberal judges and politicians have been working their absolute hardest to block Elon Musk and Donald Trump from accomplishing their goals.

Luckily, The Hill is reporting that a federal judge came to his senses on March 7, 2025, and granted perhaps the biggest win to DOGE so far.

Per the source, "a federal judge on Friday rejected a request to block employees with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing a sensitive federal payment system at the Treasury Department."

One of the things that DOGE has been trying to do is access a payment system that might help uncover where taxpayer dollars are really going.

Since most liberals like to use taxpayer dollars to make themselves and each other rich, instead of doing what's right, it's no surprise that many of them were up in arms about this move.

Several employee unions, including the Alliance for Retired Americans, said that they would "face irreparable harm" if DOGE gained access to the payment records. Judge Colleen Kollar-Kelly recently ruled that wasn't true.

"If Plaintiffs could show that Defendants imminently planned to make their private information public or to share that information with individuals outside the federal government with no obligation to maintain its confidentiality, the Court would not hesitate to find likelihood of irreparable harm," she wrote.

"But on the present record, Plaintiffs have not shown that Defendants have such a plan."

Restrictions lifted

Not only did Kollar-Kotelly determine that the employee unions were blowing hot air instead of speaking the truth, she took strong action allowing DOGE to accomplish its goals.

She lifted an earlier order that prevented DOGE from accessing the "Fiscal Service," which handles 90% of federal payments.

Previously, only two DOGE employees were allowed to access the system, Cloud Software Group CEO Tom Krause and 25-year-old Marko Elez.

However, after Elez resigned from his post earlier this year, it became clear that DOGE would need a boost to its firepower if it was really going to accomplish Trump's goals.

Allowing more DOGE employees to dig into the corruption and drain the swamp is just the help the Trump administration needed.
