Summary
A federal judge in Rhode Island ordered the Trump administration to unfreeze federal funding, accusing it of violating a previous court ruling.
The lawsuit, filed by 22 states and D.C., argues the freeze is unconstitutional and causing harm. Trump, JD Vance, and Elon Musk have suggested defying court orders.
The administration appealed the ruling, while legal experts warn officials like the Treasury Secretary could face contempt charges if they ignore it.
The case tests executive power limits and judicial authority.
I’m actually really hoping he doesn’t. It’s better we get this over with sooner than later. Piss the courts and the legislature off before he has gathered enough of a foothold
i’m actually with you on this one. i’m tired of the dread. let’s get this fucking shit show over with. i need to know if humanity prevails or not. if not, that’s fine. we were an inferior species that deserves whatever we get. it’s just a shame what ecological destruction our downfall is going to wreak. the plants and animals didn’t deserve it.
i just can’t go on knowing that what we’re living in right now will continue. if it does, we are truly in hell and i must have done something very wrong a long time ago.
Speed run the end of democracy! LFG!
The democracy part was already over when he ignored Congress, this is just accelerating the time period from no longer being a republic to the deciding moments of what will become.
At this point it’s still just a good attempt at not being a republic. We were, after all, dumb enough to vote this guy in legitimately.
We’re in the “if you can keep it” phase.
The President cannot override a law/statute with an executive order it has to go back to the legislature. Trump’s removal of the enforcement teams for their sanctions that were signed legislation was a direct act against the constitution. Every Congress member and senator swears an oath to defend and uphold it. How could we still call it a republic if the representatives decision was illegally overturned and they have not yet removed the executor of it?
Because it’s been a very short time. It’s still possible laws are enforced, although dangerously precarious.
This is really the ideal path. Fracture fast, begin the healing.
Also if there is going to be a war, I’d rather it be in my mid 30s than late +. And before my niece and nephews are old enough to l remember it would be nice.
Also while some media still exists that isn’t fully owned by them
Yeah, I’m hosed either way. I’m in my late forties and my kids are a tween and a teen.
