A left-wing policy think tank in the nation’s capital is waging a legal battle against the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), operating on millions of dollars donated by the foundation owned by billionaire Democratic donor George Soros.
The small non-profit group, Governing for Impact (GFI), has been instrumental in fueling legal strategies aimed at disrupting DOGE’s operations. GFI was established with $17 million in funding from Soros’s group Open Society Foundations, funneled through dark money organizations such as the New Venture Fund and Sixteen Thirty Fund, according to donations from 2019 to 2021 listed on Open Society’s webpage.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan appears inclined to decline a request from 14 Democratic state attorneys general to block Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency from accessing federal agencies’ data. The District of Columbia-based judge argued that the states did provide enough initial evidence to justify a restraining order.
The states filed a lawsuit on Thursday, arguing that Musk’s far-reaching authority as the head of DOGE is unconstitutional under the Constitution’s appointments clause. Under the clause, powerful officers in the executive branch are appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate. Musk, whom Democrats have blasted as an unelected billionaire allowed too close to people’s personal data, is classified as a special government employee.

The discussion on "On Deadline" focused on the political dynamics between Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Musk's DOGE committee is auditing federal agencies, aligning with Trump's fiscal conservatism but potentially overshadowing Trump. Trump's new tariffs on steel and aluminum imports are seen as a negotiating strategy rather than a protectionist stance. The conversation also touched on the ineffectiveness of the resistance movement, the potential impact of tariffs on food inflation, and the possibility of more celebrities joining the MAGA movement. The segment concluded with a light-hearted look at Elon Musk's child attending a press conference.

- Judge Chutkan shows skepticism with challenge to bar Musk from federal data

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan appears inclined to decline a request from 14 Democratic state attorneys general to block Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency from accessing federal agencies’ data. The District of Columbia-based judge argued that the states did provide enough initial evidence to justify a restraining order.
The states filed a lawsuit on Thursday, arguing that Musk’s far-reaching authority as the head of DOGE is unconstitutional under the Constitution’s appointments clause. Under the clause, powerful officers in the executive branch are appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate. Musk, whom Democrats have blasted as an unelected billionaire allowed too close to people’s personal data, is classified as a special government employee.

President Donald Trump shared early polling results for the 2026 gubernatorial race in Florida favoring Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) on Monday, the first time the president has indicated any level of support for a candidate since retaking the White House.
A poll from Victory Insights found Donalds “far ahead” of other contenders in a hypothetical primary, with the Florida congressman receiving 31% support. Others, including Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez, state Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson, and Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, received single-digit support.

China is accusing the United States of a “serious regression” in its policy toward Taiwan after the State Department updated language about the country on its website.
The change in question came from an update to a fact sheet about U.S.-Taiwan relations. China was angered that the phrase “we do not support Taiwan independence” was removed from the relatively short fact sheet. State Department officials said the change was part of a routine update, according to NBC News.
