    Federal District Judge Tanya Chutkan is poised to issue a temporary restraining order that would block nearly everyone in the Trump administration from accessing any data produced by any federal agency or dismissing any federal or contract workers. The order comes in response to a suit filed by 13 states — New Mexico, Arizona, Michigan, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington — claiming "that President Trump has violated the Appointments Clause of the United States Constitution by creating a new federal Department without Congressional approval and by granting Musk sweeping powers over the entire federal...

    WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge has ordered President Donald Trump's administration to temporarily lift a funding freeze that has shut down U.S. humanitarian aid and development work around the world, and he has set a five-day deadline for the administration to prove it's complying. The judge's ruling late Thursday cited the financial devastation that the near-overnight cutoff of payments has caused suppliers and nonprofits that carry out much of U.S. aid overseas. The ruling was the first to challenge the Republican administration's funding freeze. It comes amid a growing number of lawsuits by government employees' groups, aid groups and...

    Several House Republicans are preparing articles of impeachment against the federal judges who are blocking some of President Donald Trump's and Elon Musk's key policies. judges have blocked Trump's executive order that limits transgender care for minors, and his administration's plan to reduce the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) by placing 2,200 employees on administrative leave. Another federal judge blocked Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing the Treasury Department payment records. Arizona GOP Rep. Eli Crane is preparing articles of impeachment against U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer, who temporarily blocked DOGE from accessing the Treasury...

    Corrupt Obama judge Amy Berman Jackson on Friday temporarily halted mass firings at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Judge Jackson also ordered the CFPB to preserve all data and records. Amy Berman Jackson said the court will hold the next hearing on the plaintiffs’ motion (National Treasury Employees Union) on March 3. The defendants “shall not delete, destroy, remove, or impair any data or other CFPB records covered by the Federal Records Act,” Judge Jackson wrote in a 2-page order reviewed by The Gateway Pundit. “This means that defendants shall not delete or remove agency data from any database...

    In November 2024 President Donald Trump won reelection in a landslide winning the popular vote, the electoral vote, and every single swing state! President Trump also held the US House of Representatives and took back the US Senate with a 53-47 majority. Little did we know at the time that Trump lost and it was really the far-left district attorneys who were elected to lead the United States for the next four years. On Thursday, 14 radical leftist Attorneys General filed a lawsuit against President Trump and his DOGE audit team. These radical leftists claim that Elon Musk, one of...

    The opening sentence of Article II of the U.S. Constitution is straightforward and grants one person, the president, broad powers: “The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.” Nineteen rebellious states are now attempting to usurp that executive power, which the Constitution vests solely in the president. This case, which seeks to wrest control of the Department of the Treasury away from President Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, is part of the ongoing campaign of lawfare by which the Democrats seek to frustrate the will of a majority of voters and states,...

    It’s an old story: When people are allowed to get their way for too long, when they’re never told “No!” they may get too big for their britches. They may develop a sense of entitlement and even become narcissistic. And proving that judges are no exception are a number of recent court “opinions” designed to scuttle President Trump’s agenda. One disallows DOGE from scrutinizing Treasury Department data.

    Everybody needs to calm down and take a deep breath – the DOGE revolution is not in danger because a bunch of obscure district court judges in blue jurisdictions have signed ridiculous temporary orders purporting to limit President Donald Trump’s ability to actually be president. Don’t listen to the black pill battalion. We’re not losing this fight. We’re going to win it. Listen to the vice president – JD Vance has gotten a lot of heat because he pointed out that this is a legal farce. As usual, he’s right. And, to the extent there is a constitutional crisis –...

    MSNBC ^ | February 14, 2025 | By Symone D. Sanders-Townsend
    President Donald Trump loves to take a phrase and drain it of all meaning. In his first term, he transformed the term "fake news" from describing a specific problem with a type of misinformation into an attack on any journalist he didn't like or a piece of journalism that made him look bad. Now he's doing the same to the word "lawfare," and the stakes are even higher — including, potentially, the guardrails of our democracy. Coined in 2001, "lawfare" refers to the use of courts and other legal systems to damage or delegitimize a political opponent. After Trump left...

    A federal judge on Thursday evening temporarily blocked President Trump from cancelling foreign aid contracts. President Trump last month froze US foreign aid for 90 days. .... Snip.... US District Judge for the District Court of Columbia, Amir Ali, a Biden appointee, said Trump’s order halting foreign funding has caused enormous harm. “At least to date, Defendants have not offered any explanation for why a blanket suspension of all congressionally appropriated foreign aid, which set off a shockwave and upended reliance interests for thousands of agreements with businesses, nonprofits, and organizations around the country, was a rational precursor to reviewing...

    New York federal Judge Paul Engelmayer’s temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration’s access to Treasury documents happened so fast it’s unlikely he carefully read the case filings. The filings from the 19 suing Democrat state attorneys generals were so voluminous, and Engelmayer’s order was entered so quickly, that it could not possibly have been the product of reasoned judicial analysis and reflection. The stench is so bad, questions of possible corruption must be answered.Engelmayer is the first judge ever to grant a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the president of the United States that also forbids a cabinet secretary...

As Amuse clarifies, the deleted webpages were dedicated to sex change operations and gender ideology. How a judge can demand which webpages must be included escapes us.

    For a solid week, blue states, labor unions, and non-profit organizations have descended on federal courts up and down the East Coast seeking to halt President Donald Trump’s agenda. And they have found receptive partners in a handful of federal judges willing to enter temporary restraining orders, or TROs, to immediately — and sometimes without any notice — prohibit the normal functioning of the executive branch. To be clear, the TROs entered are not addressing specific disputes between Trump and the litigants, where the plaintiffs allege a particular action injures them in some concrete way. Rather, the country is seeing...

    The Biden administration’s legal justification for its attacks on Houthi militants in Yemen is “laughable,” Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) said at a Senate Foreign Relations committee hearing Tuesday on United States actions in the Red Sea. Speaking to defense officials, Kaine said though “Houthi behavior is abhorrent,” he has “grave skepticism” about the administration’s interpretation of presidential military powers under Article 2 of the Constitution. “A narrow mission to defend U.S. shipping, both military and commercial — that is Article 2 self-defense,” Kaine said. “Article 2 self-defense means you can defend U.S. personnel, you can defend U.S. military assets, you...
