Any idea if the Trump administration has responded to this?

erictjohnson.bsky.social•15 days ago

Glad to see the push back

douteur.bsky.social•15 days ago

They will not comply. Nobody should relax for an instant. This will be a long and exhausting struggle against billionaires who actually direct much of the power of the government. Fight! Fight! Fight!!!

altresist.bsky.social•15 days ago

Fight. Yes. By fighting we publicize the danger and extent of present power grab. We ensure that Trump doesn't get to do this in cover of night.

But don't lose all faith in courts either

If they don't comply, a civil contempt order will be issued and enforced by law enforcement officers 1/2

altresist.bsky.social•15 days ago

or officers of the court. At the root of any contempt holding is disobedience of an order of that court.

Police routinely enforce court orders where a party willfully ignores a ruling. 2/2

Karma has come for the Republican and it's sweet

The problem is still enforcement of court orders

There he is, playing his squeeze box.

Trump is still defying the courts.

The sooner we get to the Roberts Court the better. No until then will we know whether there is going to be ANY check on Trump from now on.

WITHOUT ENFORCEMENT IT DOESN'T MATTER.

Good!

Congress should engage police to enforce judicial rulings. BEFORE they centralize them with the military!!

Step 3. Ignore the Courts
Step 4. Co-opt Congress
Step 5. Centralize Police & Powers
Step 6. Shut down Elite Media & Academic Institutions
Step 7. Send People to streets, martial law

Wow... could you make that wording any more confusing? "NEW: A federal appeals court turned down the Trump administration’s emergency budget to resume its broad freeze on spending."

g-dubinva.bsky.social•15 days ago

Here it is without the word salad: BREAKING: Appeals court rejects the Trump administration's bid to immediately reinstate a massive federal funding freeze.

WTF does X-Man and the Convicted Felon think they’re doing?

“Musk called the federal bureaucracy the "unelected" fourth branch of government and said it must be held accountable.”

These 2 morons don’t see their own hypocrisy here?

Does Donny’s office wife/husband get more attention than Donny?

Trump apologists keep justifying every nutty, impulsive thing he does with “America voted for this.”

How long will they be in their fog?
