...on behalf of all Americans” against Donald Trump & Elon Musk, alleging “breach” of American data by DOGE.

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...

President Donald Trump’s administration has ordered federal agencies like the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to add disclaimers railing against “gender ideology” to pages restored by a recent court order, The Washington Post reported. The notice reads: “Per a court order, HHS is required to restore this website as of 11:59 PM on February 11, 2025. Any information on this page promoting gender ideology is extremely inaccurate and disconnected from the immutable biological reality that there are two sexes, male and female. The Trump Administration rejects gender ideology and condemns the harms it...

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...

The Trump administration sent three illegal immigrants back to their home country of Venezuela in response to a judge's decision blocking them from being sent to Guantánamo Bay as part of a continued crackdown on illegal immigration. U.S. District Judge Kenneth J. Gonzales of New Mexico issued a memo Friday announcing the court had vacated a March 3 status conference for three Venezuelan migrants just five days after it blocked the Trump administration's efforts to transfer the migrants to Guantánamo Bay. Since then, Gonzales said, respondents had filed a notice of removal "informing the court that all three petitioners were...

FIRST ON FOX: President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan on Friday clashed with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., over a webinar she hosted advising migrants about how to handle an encounter with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). "Let’s pray that she is not ‘educating’ the next murderer of a young college nursing student on how to evade arrest by ICE," Homan told Fox News Digital on Friday. "How many more young women have to be raped, murdered and burned alive until she wakes up?" Homan had first said on "The Ingraham Angle" that he had emailed the deputy attorney general...

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,...

During last week’s major Salem protest against Trump, (Musk, DOGE and immigration enforcement) protesters were distributing flyers calling for hiding illegal migrants, opening safe houses and creating escape routes. The flyer that was distributed, 100 Things More Useful Than Voting, also called for citizens to delay complying with law enforcement and to try to “waste government time and resources” so law enforcement cannot do its job in arresting criminals. Also during the same protest there were signs to abolish the Immigration Customs Enforcement agency. Another sign at the rally encouraged people to hate our Immigration law enforcement officials. Later that...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom made an about-face in his efforts to thwart President Donald Trump’s agenda of deporting illegal immigrants in the country. The 57-year-old revealed he is ready to immediately veto a bill that would force Golden State prison system from cooperating with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, KCRA reported. The proposed legislation – Assembly Bill 15 authored by Los Angeles-area Rep. Mike Gipson – would block the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation from detaining potential prisoners for several reasons. “…on the basis of a hold request, providing an immigration authority with release date information, or responding...

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.

The Treasury Department's Office of Inspector General on Friday said it was launching an audit of the security controls for the federal government's payment system, after Democratic senators raised red flags about the access provided to Trump aide Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency team. The audit will also review the past two years of the system’s transactions as it relates to Musk’s assertion of ‘’alleged fraudulent payments,‘’ according to a letter from Loren J. Sciurba, Treasury’s deputy inspector general, that was obtained by The Associated Press. The audit marks part of the broader effort led by Democratic lawmakers and...

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 –...

There’s more than one way to remove judicial tyrants. Consecutive slow motion constitutional crises, of increasing frequency and magnitude, have occurred since Nixon was ousted. The latest was initiated by SDNY federal Judge Paul Engelmayer’s 1:00 am, Saturday, February 8 ex parte temporary restraining order, expiring after a week, prohibiting Treasury Secretary Bessent from performing his constitutional responsibilities and banning DOGE auditors. 19 judge-shopping state attorneys general petitioned Engelmayer (scheduled for nighttime emergency duty) for the “emergency” order. Engelmayer ruled on an emailed filing submitted at 9:30 pm, Friday February 7, the eve of holy Super Bowl weekend. Is nothing...

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...
