In one little noticed example, Elon Musk and DOGE have sought a rare "writ of mandamus" from the DC Circuit to block Judge Chutkan's order to reveal more details about DOGE staff and authority by April 2.
They asked for an immediate stay. No dice.

🚨NEW: This is horrific.
Musk & DOGE closed the specialist unit at Yale tracking down Ukrainian children kidnapped & stolen by Russia.
HOWEVER, it now emerges the entire database may have been DELETED, destroying years of research needed to find missing children.
If so, there should be arrests.

DOGE has spent the last six weeks on a supposed crusade to audit the government and stop fraud, waste, and abuse.
But two federal auditors with years of experience say that DOGE’s actions are the furthest thing from what an actual audit looks like.

Astonishing that four SCOTUS justices think the president can order the federal government to refuse to pay congressionally-appropriated funds to contractors for *work already completed.*
And in fact they’re “stunned” that anyone would disagree.
