Today in Rhode Island, a federal judge told Trump to stop impounding funds allocated by Congress. It’s about more than just the money; it’s about making sure the president doesn’t make a grab for powers that belong to Congress under the Constitution. https://joycevance.substack.com/p/courts-to-trump-no

Trump thumbs his nose at court orders.
And John Roberts has his back.
"Thanks. I won't forget it."
1) SPENDING BILLS COME FROM THE HOUSE.
2) BUDGETS ARE NEGOTIATED & APPROVED BY CONGRESS.
3) THE POWER TO CREATE (AND FUND) NEW DEPARTMENTS RESTS W/ CONGRESS.
TRUMP IS SUBVERTING THE CONSTITUTION W/ JOHNSON & THUME'S PERMISSION.
To show Trump how dissatisfied we’re with his policies, what he is doing to the USA and Ukraine!
He’s decimated our gov and denied arms, stopped intelligence and commercial satellites to Ukraine.
ALL for Putin and the so called King! #repost
Remember this well.
Catch Paul Krugman’s conversation with Kim Sheppele. She laid it all out, what they’re doing, and identifies potential weak spots in their (Musk) interrupted plan….
Excellent.
Remain diligent.
Resist.
Defeat.
Replace.
2026.
If Congress is just an ATM, and has no discretionary allocating authority, budgets are moot. And so are spending statutes.
John Adams said a republic is an empire of laws, not of men. Trump's patrimonialism will sweep all of it aside, and empire run by a precept, or at the moment, diarchy. And that's because that form suits him now. When it doesn't the form of government will change.
While the Congress is mere decoration, the federal republic is in abeyance.

Make this make sense.
trump has usurped the role of the legislative branch!
How is this not a continuation of the GOP COUP?
They are not listening to the judges.
Dem Leadership is either silent or accommodating.
There are total 4 screenshots.
They're waiting to bring this before SCOTUS, hoping for a ruling granting sweeping executive powers
Well, That’s handy, huh?
Reject overall budget
Reject appointments
Reject treaties
Override vetoes
Impeachment
But they’re not allowed to make up more
That’s not how it works, lol
They can’t dictate how POTUS controls his branch
Including hiring & firing within agencies under it
He is a thug
Trump/Vance plan on doing anything they want, illegal or not.
Vance said, reference a Supreme Court ruling, "The chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it."

Thanks, Joyce. 📌
We must:
Name it,
Call it out in every response on every issue,
and
Respond forcefully,
Or lose our republic and our sovereignty.
--DFT
Complete and utter corruption. Witness the disintegration of a diseased human soul.
Do their constituents also suddenly hate on Ukraine? But they can’t speak now! Slaves to Trump is as low as a living being can get
each of the three branches are given functions that they alone can exercise
That 4 members of the Supreme Court questioned that should remind us that they are not Constitutional Fundamentalist
They are traitors
Which in itself is
ILLEGAL
All brought to you by republican voter's
Be sure to thank all republican representatives
OR NOT
They could report on 200K Ukrainian refugees we are about to deport
HHS could report on measles

Time to wake up assholes this isn't PJ2025!
So, trump's agency appointees, musk's doge boys and any enforcement officer could be jailed ...
Include immunity and protections for enforcement officers to eliminate their reluctance for fear of retaliation!
Then punish anyone who does try to retaliate with fines and imprisonment!
Here is today’s letter to UT ‘s Rep. Blake Moore, Senator Mike Lee, and Senator John Curtis.
Who will enforce this?
We now have two choices. Live free or kneel to your MAGA king like a slave.
Color? Gender? Race? Immigrant? Rural? Urban? Worker? Boss? Poor? Rich? Red? Blue? Your flag is one of these.
I know which one is mine.
To organize a "Save America Movement" (SAM) from coast to coast.
Every day Trump sits in OUR White House is another day of disaster for America.
Americans must come together, including MAGA that was lied to, and remove Donald Trump and Company.
We need SAM NOW
