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.
Curious if there will be a “straw that broke the camels back” moment with america and this president or is everything he ever does just going to be taken by the public. Im sure the french would have a guillotine out by now
I just wanna know where all the “I need guns to fight back against tyranny” people are. They’re reeeeal quiet.
Responsible gun owners don’t crow about their weapons.
Sure, but there are PLENTY of irresponsible ones screaming that nonsense every time a school shooting happens. It’s not like they’re rare specimens.
Guess who the irresponsible ones voted for.
I know they’re unbelievably dense, and they’re getting their bizzaro worldview reinforced by Fox News every day, but at some point it will be obvious to a critical number of them that they’ve been had; used and tricked and made fools of.
The whole mind control apparatus that was supposed to keep them in line was keeping their anger on a hair-trigger to short-circuit their critical reasoning faculties and make them atrophy. It worked for a long time, but the consequence is that, once it becomes obvious (even to them) that they’ve been duped, their carefully groomed anger will overflow … and they’ve got an insane number of assault weapons.
a not insignificant portion of those people support the current administration. tyranny to them is Dems in control of government.
They won’t do shit, to them that’s not tyranny because their team won.
I agree. Lots of talk, all the walking has been backwards…
Fascism is not exactly sustainable. If not the people or the military, he is bound to piss off someone close to him enough to betray him eventually.
The issue is how many lives will be lost in the process.
I’m very curious to what will be the “moment”
Yeah. This is definitely what I would call “the cool zone”.
In the moments between bouts of existential dread, I am at the edge of my seat!
God, we’re back in the Cool Zone already?
Regrettably :C
Looking for the next assassination of Arch-Duke Ferdinand?
Guess we’ll see if it starts a war
Here’s hoping there’s a Jaime Lannister out there.
This is the camel not the straw.

No, there won’t be one. Can only hope some generals of us armed forces decide to try a coup or start a civil war.

I was hoping for a reenactment of Our American Cousin during halftime, myself.
Perhaps he could ride in a motorcade in Dallas sometime.
