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.

      “and this judge thinks”

      You can’t just bitch any time someone tries to do something. Does this judge think he’s going to single handedly rein in this fascist administration? No, probably not. Should he try anyway? Absolutely.

      We don’t need more Robert Muellers.
