When you hear Trump regime officials and GOP members of Congress slam the rulings of "unelected judges," please understand that is their way of saying they reject the US Constitution and want Trump as King.

Congress is reminded of its DUTY. Not option. DUTY.
They should all be found in dereliction of duty.
โCongress manifestly is not permitted to abdicate or to transfer to other the essential legislative functions with which it is thus vested,โ the court writes.โ

Marco Rubio said no one has died due to U.S. aid cuts. This mom disagrees
Mariam Mohammed says her younger son died when she could not get treatment for him at a U.S.-funded clinic that had temporarily closed. Researchers say there are many thousands of cases like his.
When they got there,the guard told him that the clinic was closed because funding was stopped.
Her seven year-old son died that night. Thatโs just one preventable death in an ocean of nameless faces that have or will die because of this administrationโs greed.

There's a stunning provision tucked into the budget bill that would limit courts' ability to enforce contempt orders, and therefore to uphold the rule of law.
This deserves real alarm. If the Senate values the separation of powers, it must remove the provision.

These SpaceX failures are being financed by taxpayer dollars. So far, over $7,000,000,000. So this is *actual* government waste, unlike the *alleged* waste at Social Security that DOGE was unable to find.

The Republican budget is an attack on the American economy
Everywhere you look, it delivers blows to America's economic future.
"In the broadest terms, the bill is an enormous upward transfer of wealth โ perhaps the largest in history โ taking from those with lower incomes and giving to the rich. And in its details there are dozens if not hundreds of blows to the economy." โ @paulwaldman.bsky.social

Since their pardon by President Donald Trump, some of the 46 Marylanders charged in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol say they feel welcomed in communities that had shunned them, a shift deeply concern...
"In March, the Republican Women of Baltimore County hosted Cook and five other convicted Marylanders at a banquet where they were celebrated as heroes. Cook did not hold back.
โ'I whacked these officers. I canโt lie about it,' Cook, 26, told the audience....The banquet audience wasnโt disturbed."
