Nevada AG joins lawsuit over DOGE access to ‘personal private information’

Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford joined a lawsuit with a coalition of at least 11 other state attorneys general Thursday after Department of Government Efficiency staffers and Elon Musk received “access to American’s personal private information,” from the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

The Associated Press reported Thursday that Musk gained access to the U.S. Treasury payment system, which is responsible for 1 billion payments per year totalling $5 trillion. The system contains sensitive information involving Social Security payments and bank accounts.

In a joint statement, the coalition said the level of access by DOGE staffers and Musk was “unlawful, unprecedented, and unacceptable.”

“DOGE has no authority to access this information, which they explicitly sought in order to block critical payments that millions of Americans rely on — payments that support health care, childcare, and other essential programs,” the coalition said in the statement.

The statement also claimed President Donald Trump “does not have the power to give away (American’s) private information to anyone he chooses, and he cannot cut federal payments approved by Congress.”

Ford has signed onto multiple lawsuits against the Trump administration in the past month, including one challenging Trump’s executive order that called upon federal agencies to not recognize the citizenship of a newborn born to a parent who is not a permanent resident or U.S. citizen, and a lawsuit against the administration’s attempt to freeze federal grants and loans last month.

Mansion on the Nevada Side of Lake Tahoe Swiftly Sells for Million

A waterfront mansion on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe just sold for $46 million, less than three weeks after hitting the market.

The speedy deal marks a departure from the typical U.S. market.

Nationwide, homes took a median 78 days to land a buyer in January, five more than the same time last year and the 22nd straight month of homes taking longer to sell on a year-over-year basis, according to data from Realtor.com.

The lavish log cabin-like residence, in Incline Village, listed on Jan. 24 for $47.5 million. It sold 20 days later, on Feb. 13, listing records show.

The more than 7,000-square-foot residence was built in 2014, and has double-height living spaces, walls of windows, beamed ceilings, fireplaces, and plenty of rustic exposed stone and wood, listing images show.

There’s also a gym, a wet bar, a spa, a wine room, an office, two separate game rooms, seven bedrooms and dramatic Lake Tahoe views. Outside, there’s a private sandy beach, multiple decks, a heated driveway and two exterior fireplaces, according to listing information.

The seller and the buyer are both limited liability companies, according to property records. Both parties were represented by Jeff Brown of Tahoe Mountain Realty, who declined to comment on the deal.

The median home price in Incline Village was $1.595 million as of December, a fall of 3.3% from a year earlier, according to data from Realtor.com. Listings, meanwhile, spent an average of 130 days on the market.
