The Trump administration has not fully complied with a court order pausing the freezing of foreign assistance grants and contracts, a federal judge ruled Thursday.

U.S. District Judge Amir Ali last week ordered the administration to allow the disbursement of U.S. foreign assistance after hearing claims from federal contractors challenging an executive order signed by President Donald Trump pausing nearly all foreign assistance.

    If this were civil, that would maybe be a thing.

    This is… well its fundamentally different. We’ve undergone a coup. This kind of circle-jerking “But He’s Not Following The Law” by NBC, is well, masturbatory, and intentionally obscures what has happened.

    NBC is part of the problem, not the solution. Being in contempt of courts when courts and law have no… why pretend like they do?

      Not about civility. Doomers are saying there isn’t anything the other equal branches of government can do, but there is. This is one of those things.

          I do. This is not a civil matter. This is 1/3 of the government apparatus fucking with the other two, and the judicial has all the power in this country to compel every citizen to comply.

          Is Chase holding Elon’s money? Guess what happens if they don’t comply with a federal court order.

          What state does he hold property in?

          Does he have stocks? Of course he does. All of these can be seized on paper alone without the Executive branch being involved at all.

            I’m even more convinced than before you have not a fucking clue what the fuck you are talking about or what civil means in this context.
