US judge holds DOGE hearing on holiday, a rare occurrence

Odaily reports that a U.S. judge has scheduled a rare holiday court hearing on Monday, brought by the Democratic state attorney general to protect major federal agencies from the influence of Musk's "Government Efficiency Department" (DOGE). The judge did not explain the reason for the hearing, but on Friday, she heard arguments for a temporary restraining order sought by 13 Democratic state attorneys general, aimed at barring the DOGE team from accessing the information systems of several government agencies, including the Department of Labor, Department of Education, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Energy, Department of Transportation, Department of Commerce, and the Office of Personnel Management.
