This is actually a really excellent argument.
Judge Hollander: Govt maintains DOGE is not an agency. If that's true, she goes on, then DOGErs cannot be detailed to agencies:

I have warned about the rightwing attack on empathy. It is as dangerous as any attack on democracy. It is an attack on our humanity. Once you turn off empathy you can do anything.

Whitehouse: "I see the VP and the president acting very directly as agents of Putin and Russia in these so-called negotiations. Imagine if FDR had told Winston Churchill, 'We're cutting off Lend-Lease, you have to negotiate with Hitler, and be prepared to give up some of your territory.'"

Really dangerous narrative developing among Rs in Congress to the effect of even if Trump was a boor, peace is not possible with Zelensky as president. That is simply Trump reprisal agenda based on 2017 and later. Zelensky remains a figure of singular heroism & popularity and still the right leader.

If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public.
If it’s not an agency, then its tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.
