None clear the bar & Congress never voted

Trump thinks he can appoint who he wants to do what he wants
Not so fast! We just got a ruling that Kari Lake's appointment is ILLEGAL & her actions void
We & great partners won again — @democracydefendersfund.org @democracydefendersaction.org are not stopping
@theweekendmsnow.bsky.social 👇
We've taken Trump to court 265 times — & we're not done
He made two promises: lower prices & fewer wars
Prices are up
So are wars
The American people see it
They are the ultimate guardrail — & so are we
@theweekendmsnow.bsky.social 👇
Trump launched a war without asking Congress
No plan, no end game & no authorization
This cannot continue without a vote
Bipartisan condemnation is growing — & for good reason!
I explain on @theweekendmsnow.bsky.social 👇
The Iran war is OPENLY illegal. It’s not close!

The rule of law isn’t optional
Trump ignored Congress to launch an illegal war on Iran & now he’s ignoring Congress again to tear down the Kennedy Center
We’ve asked the court for emergency relief to stop the latter
I discuss on my Publisher's note on @contrariannews.org -TN
From Iran to the Kennedy Center, the pattern is the same: contempt for rule of law
An illegal war abroad
A plan to demolish a national cultural institution Congress ordered protected
Where courts can act—we’re taking action
My Publisher's note covers this & more on @contrariannews.org - TN
The Kennedy Center may never recover if Trump demolishes it
Congress ordered it be a living memorial to a slain president
Trump is defying that order — & it’s blatantly illegal
We’re in court to stop it
My publisher’s note on @contrariannews.org 👇 -TN
Congress ordered the Kennedy Center to be a living memorial
Trump wants to shut it down & demolish it anyway
So we amended our lawsuit & sought emergency court relief to stop the destruction of national cultural institution

The Coinbase CEO met with Trump at the WH & hours later Trump attacked banks for opposing stablecoin yields

Corruption in plain sight
BREAKING: We at @democracydefendersfund.org just filed a brief from 180+ bipartisan former judges urging SCOTUS to reject a dangerous Trump admin argument
Unexplained shadow docket orders must not be abused as precedent in other separate cases
We stand by lower courts making that point👇
Kristi Noem is gone from DHS
But the allegations of misconduct, self-dealing & cover-up don’t leave with her
@democracydefendersfund.org called for Noem & Miller to resign & we’ll keep calling for accountability

That’s how we stop the dirty tricks & make the U-turn on democratic backsliding

This is unbelievable, somehow in all the countless tens and hundreds of thousands acts of cruelty this one stands out. The American people are not gonna tolerate this and many similar acts of cruelty. Huge wipeout for GOP coming in November.
