The Trump Administration Just Violated Another Court Order
A federal judge ruled Friday that the president violated a court order to stop freezing federal funds by withholding Federal Emergency Management Agency relief to at least 19 states. The judge said that the Trump administration seemed to be making a “covert” effort to punish states whose immigration practices differed from the White House.
U.S. District Judge John McConnell issued an injunction in March on behalf of 23 states that sued the federal government after the White House moved to pause aid to states, ruling that the move “fundamentally undermines the distinct constitutional roles of each branch of our government.”
Selectively withholding FEMA funds of Blue states because of policy disagreements. Literally, he's willing to have Americans killed who disagree with him.
He did this during Covid. When he saw that it was at first primarily hitting cities, he didn't give a single fuck and wanted people to die. It wasn't until rural areas and red states got hit harder that he started to pretend to care.
Remember when Biden held funding from red states because they didn’t agree with him.
……oh wait that didn’t happen.
The administration is attempting to exert complete control over spending to punish enemies, reward allies, and line their own pockets? Well, that's not even remotely novel.
Though the escalating level of "brazen" and "cruel" really does make it seem like they're just trying to provoke civil unrest.
Trump has threatened dozens of times to use the government to target political enemies
Donald Trump has repeatedly promised to weaponize the federal government during a second administration by pursuing revenge, retaliation and retribution against his political enemies. Because Trump is posting primarily on Truth Social, his newly-public social media company with only a niche following, the extent of his threats have mostly flown under the radar. Trump’s attitude can be summed up in one Truth Social post from August, 2023: “IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!”
