So DOGE can break into ANY INSTITUTION it wants, with enforcement by the US Marshalls? That's insane. This isn't a federal agency at all, it's an independent group!

The G7 has been compromised. EU had best work without the US now. The US is now led by a maniac who likes Putin, and wouldn't blink at betraying all the US longterm allies.

The real agenda is to bring down higher education in general. The whole Trans athletes thing is a smokescreen. The fascists consider higher education to be a stronghold of woke liberalism. If if weren't trans athletes, it would be some other excuse to make the cuts.

And of course Trump says any lawsuit which doesn't align with his fascist extreme illegal goals is "frivolous". (And ignores that the law is already established about what constitutes a frivial lawsuit.

Importers in the US are not simply going to take the hit from their profits when they pay the tariffs to the US Gov. They will correspondingly increase their prices to mitigate the loss. Thus money is not "pouring into" the country. It's "pouring out-of" the pockets of American consumers.

US Marshals, FBI, and DC police are rogue and cannot be expected to enforce the law. They facilitated an illegal trespass, entry and ransacking of an independent, non-profit not under the jurisdiction of the executive branch.

Ironic, because he just let Elon Musk attend a top secret Pentagon meeting about War Plans with China. But really, this is theater, typical petty Trump and has no real impact on anything.

Evidently the Federal Judge didn't put the "turn the planes around immediately" language in the written ruling. He said it verbally. Of course Trump ignored the verbal part. Future rulings will likely be more careful.

This kind of weakness is quite typical of Schumer. Always has been.

Easy to say, if you are not among the children, elderly, and poor suffering and dying. The billionaires and fascists are just tearing down anything that gets in the way of their path to unregulated profit, and damn the consequences. No I want to build a decent world, not burn it down.

Well that will never stand up in court. The Executive branch doesn't unilaterally create federal election policy. Trump has passed from unconstitutional, to ANTI-constitutional.

Hard to know what to believe. Without bodycams, I would easily think that the police planted the knife and came up with the story after shooting her and the baby. With no prosecution, there will be no court case to determine if the story is legit.

They use 3 cases of arson and vandalism nationwide to discredit and undermine legal public free speech protest on public sidewalks in front of Tesla dealerships. The government wants the public to think that the legal protests are terrorism, and make people afraid to exercise legal free speech.

The Judge clearly had the law on his side. The Alien Enemies act requires a formal declaration of war. A formal declaration of war requires congressional approval. Trump can't just say, "we're at war with Tren de Aguela" and call it good.

Judge James Boasberg is particularly qualified to handle cases involving secrecy and National security. He has served as a FICA judge, handling the creation of warrants for the intelligence services. He is no stranger to the proper handling of state secrets.

The University is so dumb. They think that capitulating to the Fascists would be the end of the problem? The fascists see higher education as a bastion of Liberal Woke and want to take it down. Trump will simply come up with another demand, and another, until the college is completely wiped out, or a hollow shadow of a real place of higher learning.

A formal declaration of war requires congressional approval, as outlined in Article One, Section Eight of the Constitution.

Did you mis the part about how it is a single >>NATION<< that veto'd the shadow oil fleet ban? So obviously a nation is the problem here, and of course the billionaires who have taken control of that nation.
