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.

    Well it’s not Jan 6th yet. This country only does coups on Jan 6th.

      IDK, we had a pretty good one on a July 4th one time.

      What? Did something else happen on some Jan 6 besides a friendly peaceful neighborhood protest?
