Judge Howell’s actions in the USIP hearings have been confounding and disgusting. I can’t imagine what she’s thinking.

BREAKING: US federal judge allows DOGE to takeover $500 million office building for free.
In fact, the building—and all of the property inside it—had already been transferred on Saturday.

And turns out that there was no one in America that was willing or able to stop it.
R.I.P. USA
If I didn't know better, I'd think she and her family was being threatened or something. I simply don't understand this.
members of their death cult can wear robes, we've already seen plenty including in the supreme court
she wants a place in the oligarchy
Like Trump, Hitler’s first attempt at a coup failed.
Trump uses the playbook of Dictators he admires to become Dictator of the USA‼️
Never normalize the lies, cruelty and lawlessness of Trump.
He’s already a felon.
Okay Judge...
I wonder how much of this relates to that bill they passed allowing more discretion on non-profits
not a lawyer so I don't know how it all plays, but it does stink of cowardice
What then?
If he doesn't have Trump's blessing what then?
In other words, DOGE already illegally stole USIP’s $500 million building so I can’t stop them.
This is the shit that makes me feel hopeless.
The real sentencing will be later, if building can't be seized back financial compensation can be established (?)
We have a whole semester of Moot Court in law school to prepare us for litigation.
I’m not a lawyer, so is that how things work now?
Hold the fuck ON.
WHAT?!
WHAT THE FUCK?!
How is this possible?!
Those fuckers WALKED INTO THE BUILDING and simply said: IT'S MINE.
This CAN NOT be the last word on this insanity!
I only wonder what she is being threatened with.
I think there's only one thing that can, but Americans won't do it.
Trying not to feel hopeless.
This has to do w/DC Circuit ruling against Humphreys rather than waiting for SCOTUS.
Howell is explaining her reasoning quite clearly. There's no need to sow conspiracy theories about it.

This is like eminent domain by oligarch with no recourse.
Right?
The above quote is a good example, it makes good sense to lawyers. But it’s also nuts.
on the other hand, in cases like this where the law runs behind reality, i worry trump finds openings...

The lesson for the fascists is they should just do clearly illegal shit and once it's done, courts will not require recompense.
how do you think Trump survived this long (*see also Bibi)
More information is needed. ASAP.
Well fuck it, ill never buy a house again. Next vacant house for sale that I like, I'm just going to move my shit in, and call it mine.
