These judicial victories seem pretty hollow to the American people while we watch NONE of them be enforced in any capacity.

Now we need a lawyer to ask a federal judge to protect the rest of the American institutions Musk and his muskrats ripped to pieces.

What is this now?
97 percent loss ratio?
How much tax payer money wasted?

The trump regime are ignoring the law and court orders.

dr-negrin.bsky.social•9 days ago

I take it that it's still dismantled, though?

forgetitjake.bsky.social•10 days ago

Excellent. Er, have seen any evidence yet that the Trump administration plans to actually obey any of these court orders?

horod.bsky.social•9 days ago

So good to hear! 👏👏Thanks for sharing!

bullit-n-i.bsky.social•10 days ago

They need to sue the Russians in the White House!

colawesenstund.bsky.social•10 days ago

Salutes to the judges standing up for what's right. Simultaneously I'm saddened by the fact we're reduced to shout outs to the courageous few actually upholding the law. Didn't they _all_ like take an oath to do so?

sapphireskkies.bsky.social•10 days ago

Yes, but as is the brilliance and curse of humanity.... they have free will to make it through law school and still be terrible people.

heatherbabs.bsky.social•10 days ago

Annnnd? The judge's rulings don't mean anything when there are 0 consequences for continuing to defy the judge's rulings.

I think the Trump administration is supposed to say "whoopsie" or something like that now. (But they won't).

annboyd14.bsky.social•10 days ago

trump will appeal it, delay, delay, delay, etc.

How does Humpty Dumpty get put back together again?

ojodio.bsky.social•10 days ago

Good !

theeagles.bsky.social•10 days ago

This is positive news!

thinking-thankful.bsky.social•10 days ago

Hasn’t a lot of irreversible damage been done already? What is the recourse for restitution and enforcement now?

00kjg.bsky.social•10 days ago

Another day, another ruling that Trump broke the law. What the hell is it going to take to lock him up?!?

tron49.bsky.social•9 days ago

Let's hope when this hit SCOTUS that they too will uphold the law.

lindsrn.bsky.social•10 days ago

It is good to see some good news; even if it’s just a kernel.

connor2148.bsky.social•10 days ago

I wish people would just stop complying.

macksteele.bsky.social•9 days ago

Team Trump and MAGA,
They lie and they cheat, right in front of America

Anti-human and anti-democratic engagement within America will not only continue, but will become much more bold as Trump's Project 2025 administration gains more power over the goverment..and us

Where is the Rule of Law?

cuetheclowns.bsky.social•10 days ago

Thanks for the update. I’ve been wondering about this ever since seeing their takeover of the building weeks (months?) ago.

spaz64.bsky.social•10 days ago

😐 Wasn’t there a 9-0 SCOTUS ruling that stated Trump’s administration had to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return from El Salvador?! Still waiting…

lynn0908.bsky.social•10 days ago

That case is still ongoing where the judge is very carefully walking the line to show the government deliberately didn’t comply.

spaz64.bsky.social•10 days ago

And Trump administration attorneys doing everything in their power to slow walk each and every decision and ruling. Delay, delay, delay!

teedublavee.bsky.social•10 days ago

Heck yeah!

gonzoengineer.bsky.social•10 days ago

What about the CFPB too?

youroldteacher.bsky.social•10 days ago

I hope this means that Trump/Musk can't sell or repurpose their building and that all the workers there will be compensated for the way they were treated. Judge Howell is a beacon of truth and hope.

hikermom65.bsky.social•10 days ago

Oh he doesn’t care and will NOT abide by any laws.

nichrome77.bsky.social•10 days ago

Will they kick the fascists out of the USIP building? That was why DOGE went after USIP—they coveted their building.

freeman61.bsky.social•10 days ago

Now, where is the 25-life sentence and the restitution of all the funds out of muskrat’s pocket? They should be required to fully reconstitute the USIP within 30 days or pay $50 million/day fines. Punish TF out of them!
