Summary

A federal judge in Rhode Island ordered the Trump administration to unfreeze federal funding, accusing it of violating a previous court ruling.

The lawsuit, filed by 22 states and D.C., argues the freeze is unconstitutional and causing harm. Trump, JD Vance, and Elon Musk have suggested defying court orders.

The administration appealed the ruling, while legal experts warn officials like the Treasury Secretary could face contempt charges if they ignore it.

The case tests executive power limits and judicial authority.

    i’m actually with you on this one. i’m tired of the dread. let’s get this fucking shit show over with. i need to know if humanity prevails or not. if not, that’s fine. we were an inferior species that deserves whatever we get. it’s just a shame what ecological destruction our downfall is going to wreak. the plants and animals didn’t deserve it.

    i just can’t go on knowing that what we’re living in right now will continue. if it does, we are truly in hell and i must have done something very wrong a long time ago.
