A coalition of educators, veterans, public health professionals, and consumer advocates have sued the Trump administration for the creation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

On February 18, 2025, this case was consolidated with Public Citizen v. Trump, No. 1:25-cv-166 (D.D.C.), and Lentini v. Department of Government Efficiency, No. 1:25-cv-164 (D.D.C.).
