A leftist group financed by America’s most notorious billionaire George Soros launched a lawsuit against the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) led by X owner Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy just moments after President Donald Trump took office.
That’s not even enough time for anyone in the Trump administration to pass gas.
The New York Times hailed the leftist efforts at 2 pm under the headline, "Nonprofit Groups Sue Trump Administration Moments After Oath."
Reporter David Fahrenthold began with "Nonprofit groups filed three lawsuits against President Trump’s administration minutes after he took office on Monday.” Specifically, the leftist groups are railing that DOGE, which was created as a nongovernmental advisory group to slash bureaucracy under Trump, “was violating laws that require federal advisory committees to be open to the public and to include a diversity of viewpoints,” Fahrenthold wrote. The Associated Press reported late January 20 that Ramaswamy was leaving DOGE leadership as he mulls a possible run for Ohio governor.
One of the groups involved in the lawsuits was the radical Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics (CREW) in Washington in partnership with the unhinged American Federation of Teachers led by activist Randi Weingarten. Soros funneled a sizable $2,850,000 into CREW’s coffers between 2017 and 2021 alone.
This is the same group that demanded that Musk keep Trump banned from Twitter following his acquisition of the platform in 2022. “As Twitter’s CEO, Elon Musk must keep Donald Trump’s ban from Twitter in place for good to protect Twitter and our democracy,” CREW wailed in a Nov. 15 press release filed under “Legal Complaints.”
CREW also tried to put heavy pressure on Apple CEO Tim Cook to have Trump’s social media app Truth Social banned from the App Store in 2022. In addition, TIME described former CREW Chairman David Brock as “one of the most influential political operatives in the Democratic party,” according to Influence Watch, if anybody had any doubt about the group’s radical political leanings. This group also smeared 44 GOP members of Congress skeptical of the 2020 election results as members of a so-called “Sedition Caucus.” Fahrenthold didn’t mention any of this objectivity-wrecking context of course, despite admitting that CREW was “liberal.”
CREW, AFT and their cohorts are all turning the screws on “federal judges to stop the cost-cutting effort until it complies with the law.” The lawsuits, including CREW’s, are alleging that DOGE doesn’t fulfill the diversity of viewpoint requirement of the 1972 Federal Advisory Committee Act, which is rich coming from a Soros-backed group. “They say its leaders all share one viewpoint: that the size and cost of government should be cut drastically,” Fahrenthold summarized.
It appears that the Soros empire is wasting no time in going to war with the new administration just after their fearless leader was arbitrarily adorned with the Presidential Medal of Freedom by former President Joe Biden. Soros has actively given tens of millions to groups who exerted enormous pressure on Big Tech platforms to censor conservative political views that run counter to his own. This includes at least $80 million poured into groups pressuring Big Tech to censor election-related content prior to the November elections to help the left. Since that effort’s return-on-investment went kaput, it appears that Soros’s next move is to kneecap the Trump administration as soon as possible.
Let the games begin.
