Don't mess with the Constitution, and I expect ALL people who are hard core 2nd Amendment followers to be all caps triple angry, too. Is it a pre-requisite that a judge, who feels the Constitution isn't being honored, be anti-trump? I'm sure they'll get to that one soon. Here's an update on the ones they're already doing: Feb 4 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Tuesday blocked President Donald Trump's administration from implementing the Republican's executive order requiring all transgender women be housed in federal prisons for men and ending their access to gender-affirming care. (Bloomberg) -- The Trump administration offered “no rationale” for cutting off potentially trillions of dollars in federal funding of grants, loans and other financial assistance to recipients nationwide with less than 24 hours notice to conduct an ideological review, a judge said. US District Judge Loren AliKhan in Washington on Monday denied a request by the White House Office of Management and Budget to dismiss a suit filed by a national group of nonprofits challenging the funding freeze. She also granted the group’s request for a temporary restraining order against the freeze, the second such ruling in less than a week. More like butterface.

Yeah, it's almost like we learned nothing at all, except how to train future criminals. For the 37th time, this is about him not having any constitutional right to control spending, or fund/shutdown programs. ILLEGAL!!!

“Dr. Tabak,” asked Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-Ariz.) of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, “did NIH fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology through [Manhattan-based nonprofit] EcoHealth [Alliance]?” “It depends on your definition of gain-of-function research,” Tabak answered. “If you’re speaking about the generic term, yes, we did.” Note: there's a bit of gotcha on the semantics here, as well. Politicians are REAL good at that.

I believe that not investigating trump would have been a mistake. As for this particular matter, all he did was add "not a source". The judge agreed this was not malicious: “My view of the evidence is that Mr. Clinesmith likely believed that what he said about Mr. Page was true,” Boasberg said. “By altering the email, he was saving himself some work and taking an inappropriate shortcut.” Hence the light sentencing. Now tell me how mad you are that 'Individual-1' did no time for skirting campaign contribution rules by arranging six-figure payments to Daniels and McDougal, a former Playboy model, to keep them quiet about years-old affairs that Trump consistently denied.(You don't dole out 2-6 figure payments, because of the wife. Also, note that you're still not convinced trump had ties to Russia, event the one Cohen went to jail for lying about. Pepperidge Farms remembers, NC.

I don't know, but the law seems to think I do, and protects that right. How many times has your orange menace pleaded the 5th? I'll bet he has nothing to hide, including a report that I literally paid into creating, but somehow don't own.

If it wasn't happening, then who is the DOJ threatening? I don't think this is any longer a 'reportedly' issue. They took control of it.

Extremely misleading. The NIH is very broad, and I'd assume many republicans voted yes on that funding bill.

I don't like any of the pardons. I'm aghast that the people who were aghast crying about "SPYING" are now saying "good". Again, they not only have all the information, but the stolen power that belongs to another branch of government. That I'm VERY aghast about. Do you not understand, that I'm literally telling you they stole the wallet/checkbook? Tell you what, you tell me which parts of the Constitution we can shred, that you wouldn't be aghast about, and I'll tell you why that's a bad idea.

Get used to the pardons. Mein trumpf has already used plenty on his associates, too. Everyone in government is going to be begging for them now. They did when trump left and Biden too. We'll get plenty more in 4 years. BET Where's the lie?

I see nepotism, you see corruption. I'm definitely right, and you'd be right too, if you agree that nepotism is everywhere, and it is corrupt. At this point, you should be mad at yourselves for believing Hunter Biden was the devil(well the only devil). Also, I'd like to thank you for corroborating my original point. One last thing, do you have sources inside Ukraine that can confirm that Burisma has indeed not been investigated since Shokin?

Additionally, he continued, "at my direction, legislation will be introduced shortly to prevent unlawful access to the Department of Treasury Bureau of the Fiscal Service payment system that contains highly confidential and personal information related to Social Security and Medicare recipients, taxpayers, households, nonprofits, businesses and federal contractors." Musk's Department of Government Efficiency task force has reportedly seized control of the Treasury payment systems with a team of software engineers aged 19 to 24, and Musk himself has already bragged about "deleting" certain parts of the civil service, including the team that helped implement the Internal Revenue Service's new Direct File tax system that gives taxpayers an end run around private for-profit tax filing services. Shortly after certain news outfits and online activists began circulating the names of those engineers, Trump's acting federal prosecutor in charge of D.C. sent out a memo threatening to investigate or criminally sanction anyone who may be involved in "imped[ing]" the work of Musk's team. The DOJ is literally threatening them if they don't allow illegal access to the data, hand over control, or identify members of the unelected "nerds".

They have no need for Americans personal information to identify waste. They literally have the power of the checkbook. They should be identifying things, and then recommending to Congress. He already has "cut whatever he wants": On Sunday, Musk stated that DOGE had stopped payments from the U.S. Department of Health and Human services to Lutheran Family Services, a faith-based charity that had been offering social services to refugees. This isn't handwringing. This is unconstitutional and illegal.

The same reason why the Ambassador to Antigua is Rear Admiral James Bower's son(I made that up). If you think Hunter is the first or last kid running in his families political circles.... same goes for corporate America, too. If you had any idea how many of them are on 'boards', you'd lose your mind. It's called nepotism.

Unfortunately, now it's my job to remove her partisanship from the discussion, even though it's true. The treasury dept secretary quit on the spot, when they demanded access. He literally now controls the US checkbook, and has already canceled some payments. Musk and DOGE "now have access to the personal information of every Social Security beneficiary — and the ability to stop payments for any federal programs they dislike," said Max Richtman, CEO of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare I'm all for DOGE identifying waste, but the deciding what, and having the ability to cut whatever they want, whenever they want, isn't constitutional. Congress decides what is spent, after the proposed budget is delivered by the president. No, they now control access to the lawnmower.

My only outrage was the political aspect trump put on it. Again, Shokin was fired for NOT investigating corruption enough. All trump wanted was his opponent's son investigated.

Warren.

I can't tell you exactly what it is, because I have not breached the system myself, but this is the only point that matters: She added, "It could also give them access to millions of Americans' personal and financial information that is protected by law." Legally? If you're going to borrow my lawnmower, I'm not going to ask you why. if you ask for the treasury and OPM data, I'm asking why.

How is going through the proper legal processes, instead of a quid pro quo "turning a blind eye"? As it turns out, the GQP investigated this wholeheartedly, and even got the "corrupt FBI" involved enough to lie. That "blind eye".

How would they get more information from the government, than the government already has? Whatever is done is done, and we'll have to wait(forever) for the courts to get around to adjudicate this. The pisser is that if found out to be illegal, the penalty is "woops". Glad you're so sure.

As we speak, people are cheering to lock up the people who were "spying". That's fine as long as they get all of them, including those in the current administration, before they get pardoned. Bottom line it's unconstitutional, and illegal. We're in a fine mess, no matter how much some people want to believe this is 'all for the better'.

Yeah, that's going to cost us a ton, too.

What level of tariffs would it take to bring production of cheap consumer goods back to America? China has a very large economy, so the consumers would have to face A LOT of "pain" waiting for it to happen. Likely years, and then how do you produce those goods in America, at a price that's friendly to US consumers? There's a reason we let them make those things for us. Targeted tariffs, on certain industries, might be effective. Blanket tariffs are a TERRIBLE idea.

Fire up the wrongful termination lawsuits. Lawyer up!

Which corruption of Biden's is it you speak? You're saying that a president should be able to force other countries to open, and make public, investigations based on if he feels there may be corruption as a quid pro quo? You don't see any abuse potential there? You really don't think that the FBI doesn't already have their own channels?? I get it you guys buy every bs narrative that comes your way, but wake up Doc.

"but her emails". The OPM order was sent through an "unknown" server. Musk DOGE on US treasury: They also sought access to the underlying code, the person said — alarming some Treasury staff, because the operation of this infrastructure is tightly controlled due to its critical position in the US financial system. It’s unclear whether the duo have obtained direct access to the code and why they would want it, according to people familiar with the situation. Congress controls the purse, so how can the executive branch appoint a "special employee" to screw with the payment system? I get that the Treasury is part of the executive branch, but that doesn't mean the president can do anything he wants at any department. If this was true, then Biden would have pushed through student loan debt. Sure, the courts can call this illegal after the fact, though the damage is already done, and the short-sighted SCOTUS says you can't prosecute this "official action" anyways. What a mess. At the end of the day, Elon has all our information, and apparently, no one cares about being "spied on" anymore.
