Protect Democracy — litigation: Sued to block USDA's demand for personal data of millions of SNAP recipients, framing it as part of a federal 'panopticon' of AI-enabled surveillance

NoteWhile the source confirms that Protect Democracy is an organization that files lawsuits challenging what it frames as authoritarian actions, the provided excerpt from their homepage does not contain any specific information about a lawsuit against the USDA regarding SNAP recipient personal data or AI-enabled surveillance. The source lists recent work items but none match the specific claim about SNAP/USDA litigation. The claim references a filing from July 2025, which is very recent; the homepage excerpt provided does not include detailed case listings or recent litigation announcements that would confirm or contradict this specific lawsuit. To verify this claim would require access to Protect Democracy's litigation database, press releases, or case filings page—not provided in the source text.
