What could “the most transparent administration in history” have to hide by failing to release DOGE documents?

Last year, the high court reined in a district court's order for the government to produce DOGE-related records to CREW. The high court's conservative majority concluded in June 2025 that U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled too broadly in ordering documents to be turned over to the group.

CREW claims DOGE is a federal agency and therefore is subject to the Freedom of Information Act.

The Trump administration argues that DOGE is exempt from FOIA's requirements as a presidential advisory body.

Cooper ruled in CREW's favor and ordered expedited processing of the group's records request. An appeals court panel also sided with CREW.

The administration claims the panel ignored the Supreme Court's direction to consider separation-of-powers concerns and intruded on the "autonomy and confidentiality" of presidential advisers.

The internet is completely censored wtf?
Why? What the fuck is this?

Per WRAL:

Nikac appealed a lower court's decision restricting her ability to publicly release the recordings. This week, the North Carolina Court of Appeals upheld that ruling, which prohibits public distribution of the videos without further court authorization.

Nikac posted the videos anyway.

"I'm just waiting for a knock at the door for them to serve me or put me in handcuffs because I put the videos out," Nikac said

…Nevertheless, the court wrote that it had enough to conclude, on the record before it, that “there is a strong likelihood the EO violated Plaintiffs’ First Amendment rights.” The court also wrote that, under the human rights experts’ “reasonable interpretation,” the executive order was “incompatible” with the federal statute the administration invoked as authority for the sanctions.

The court also rejected the administration’s arguments that the human rights experts lacked standing and that their claims were not ready for review.

“The government’s attempt to dismiss our clients’ claims was both predictable and meritless,” said Charlie Hogle, staff attorney with ACLU’s National Security Project. “The First Amendment doesn’t allow the government to impose sweeping limits on what Americans can say and who they can say it to. We’re pleased our clients can continue their important work, and we look forward to continuing to vindicate their rights in court.”

The decades long conservative war on student free speech rights suffered another case of 'be careful what you wish for' as SCOTUS refused to hear an appeal to a 6th circuit ruling on tshirt slogans being banned in a Michigan school.

The issues being pushed is absolutely terrifying
