III. CONCLUSION Congress has found that "it is the policy of the United States to promote the right of freedom of opinion and expression" and that "open communication of information and ideas among the peoples of the world contributes to international peace and stability." International Broadcasting Act of 1973, 87 Stat. at 457. RFE/RL has, for decades, operated as one of the organizations that Congress has statutorily designated to carry out this policy. The leadership of USAGM cannot, with one sentence of reasoning offering virtually no explanation, force RFE/RL to shut down even if the President has told them to do so. Therefore, upon consideration of the plaintiff's Motion [ECF No. 6) for a Temporary Restraining Order, the defendants' Opposition thereto, the plaintiff's Reply, and the entire record herein, it is hereby ORDERED that the plaintiff's Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order is GRANTED; and it is further ORDERED that the portion of the plaintiff's TRO motion seeking disbursement of $7,464,559 for the March 1-14 period of performance is now MOOT given the defendants' notice of disbursement initiation for that outstanding amount; and it is further ORDERED that the defendants and their agents take no steps and impose no obligations relating to closing out the plaintiff's grant; and it is further 3:56 PM • 3/25/25

Kari should hire a team to investigate and attack these corrupt judges 24/7 and broadcast it all over the world.

Lol.

Europe has no interest in either freedom of opinion or open communication of information and ideas.

Quite the opposite, in fact.

This has got to stop. Dear judge, put in your diary that you implemented a decision that coild potentially lead to a civil war. Write in that same record that you miscalculated the rage of millions of Americans who slave at crappy jobs and pay ungodly amounts in taxes to pay for this corrupt spending you and your ilk keep forcing on us.

Do the paychecks judges get come from the Treasury or is the judiciary funded through their own fines etc.?

Treasury checks can be cut off.

If the judge doesn’t like it, he can file suit.

I hope I never get called before one of these scum. My utter contempt will certainly put me in jail.

Utter unfettered vitriol filled contempt.

It appears that from now on the President can only make recommendations, not true executive orders.

The Federal Judge Corps must be gloating and toasting each other in private.

Overweighing the judiciary hurts the right

Lawyers are by nature usually left leaning messianic types

The power of that branch needs to be accommodated no more that the founders intended

We have witnessed lawfare by oppprtunity (to dethrone Nixon)

And lawfare by design and how harmful it is both to politicos and citizens when abused

Too bad Congress are cowards. Trump needs to be bold and brave and veto any bill that includes funding for anything DOGE has deemed wasteful

Did the judge happen to cite the relevant Constitutional authority?

I used to think they would

Not so sure anymore

They did shit to help J 6ers or Trump lawfare onslaughts

Little judge Cannon in Miami was the hero for Trump

These judges were jacobin over J6
