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.

โ€œCongress 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. Thatโ€™s just one preventable death in an ocean of nameless faces that have or will die because of this administrationโ€˜s greed.

Kash Patel Fumbles Key Question About Doing His Job Kash Patel has yet to submit the FBIโ€™s budget for fiscal year 2026.

Despite the FBI Director's failure to provide a detailed budget, Patel requested a whopping $10.1B in salaries and expenses to carry out the FBIโ€™s missionโ€”$1B more than the current budget.

When asked for a timeline on the budget's completion, Patel said he had no timeline.

A Terrible Idea Dean Chemerinsky discusses the reconciliation billโ€™s provision that would restrict federal courtsโ€™ authority to hold government officials in contempt for violating court orders

Read more about the provision and what it means:

29.05.2025 15:04 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 57    ๐Ÿ” 24    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 3    ๐Ÿ“Œ 1

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.

The US Is Storing Migrant Childrenโ€™s DNA in a Criminal Database Customs and Border Protection has swabbed the DNA of migrant children as young as 4, whose genetic data is uploaded to an FBI-run database that can track them if they commit crimes in the future.

NEW: The US government has collected DNA from over 100,000 migrant childrenโ€”including a 4-year-oldโ€”and uploaded their genetic profiles into a national biometric database meant for sex offenders and violent criminals.

The MAHA Report Cites Studies That Donโ€™t Exist The Trump administrationโ€™s โ€œMake America Healthy Againโ€ report misinterprets some studies and cites others that donโ€™t exist, according to the listed authors.

"Itโ€™s not clear that anyone wrote the study cited in the MAHA report."

Wow. If these were freshman, caught using ChatGPT that made up bogus studies, they'd get flunked or worse.

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.
