Federal judge rules Trump canโ€™t require citizenship proof on federal voting form | CNN Politics President Donald Trumpโ€™s request to add a documentary proof of citizenship requirement to the federal voter registration form cannot be enforced, a federal judge ruled Friday.

US District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in Washington, DC, sided with Democratic and civil rights groups that sued the Trump administration over a March executive order to overhaul US elections.

A toy maker takes his case against Trump's tariffs to the Supreme Court Within days of Donald Trump announcing his sweeping "Liberation Day" tariffs in April, Rick Woldenberg was looking for a law firm to help him sue the U.S. president.

Judges Order Trump to Pay for SNAP, Killing His Shutdown Strategy Two federal judges in different parts of the country ordered the Trump administration to use emergency funds to pay for the nutrition program.

White House officials had refused to fund SNAP from a $5B contingency fund that existed precisely in the event of something like this. trib.al/Y2vaPxk

In response, 25 states sued the federal government, and two federal judges have ordered the Trump administration to use the funds.

Trump shut down includes SNAP. But Dem lawmakers said emergency funds shd be used. 2 judges said the same. So hopefully apparently Trump cant block it but who knows.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. Theyโ€™ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally โ€” almost certainly incomplete โ€” includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

Theyโ€™ve had their necks kneeled on.

Theyโ€™ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

As Trump talks of designating antifa a foreign terrorist group, experts see danger The designation would have, as one domestic terrorism expert told NPR, a "cascading effect across civil society, including social media organizations, civic organizations and everything in between."

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americansโ€ face never ceases to stun me.

Weird editorial in todayโ€™s @nytimes.com โ€œAre we losing our democracyโ€ They answer yes-ish. 12 markers of the slide from democracy to autocracy. And they arbitrarily set the slider for each one somewhere between 0 and 100. Based onโ€ฆ?

Billboards outside US Southern Command urge troops not to 'break the lawโ€™ in Caribbean strikes โ€œDonโ€™t let them make you break the law,โ€ reads a billboard along the road to U.S. Southern Command, one of several set up by veterans.

"The new billboards are designed to inform troops of legal resources โ€ฆ 'The [Southern Command] strikes โ€ฆ represent the most blatantly illegal act that this administration has had the military carry out.'"

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

Iโ€™m disgusted by the photos of Ttumpโ€™s demolition at the East Wing, but Iโ€™m even more sickened by the renderings of his mar-a-lago ballroom dwarfing our White House. Once weโ€™re rid of this despicable man, that ballroom must also be removed.
