Judge sets 5-day deadline for Trump administration to start lifting its USAID funding freeze

Like any untrained dog, the administration has to be kept on a short leash.

When you lie down with a dog,you are bound to come up with MAGA fleas

It a matter ,who are willing to go to

jail for Trump

Musk should be the center of Contempt by the court

SCOTUS will settle this matter shortly, the Executive Branch management of all Federal Agencies will include the power to curtail waste, fraud and abuse.

USAID, corrupt tool of Democrat Party to proliferate their agenda and enrich themselves. Ditto many other "Deep State' agencies where bureaucrats in charge somehow often rich far beyond their means/salaries... audits coming!

If the funding is kept frozen, and aid in the form of medicine, food, and clean water to poor countries will evaporate. Then, the U.S.'s standing in the world and it's soft power will vanish as well. No more help from any allies or friends.

I hope Judge Ali has good security. The President and/or Trump will be likely to try and doxx him and send their goons over with pitchforks.

The US doesn't want any allies or friends anymore, outside of Russia. They're clearly aiming to go it alone.

No, that leash will tear, it won’t stop them, just slow down the inevitable.

Won't happen.

But if it does, and those countries turn their back on the US because they aren't receiving, money then great. Cut loose the freeloaders.

They never were true allies then.

These so called friends (leeches) will kiss up because in the end, they depend on the U.S. for safety, hardware, technology, food etc. they will never turn their backs entirely on the U.S., they know it no matter how tough they talk.

And Russia is such a great ally? Why then do presidents have to continually have to make one-sided deals with Russia to release wrongfully-kept prisoners? (BTW, people should just stop going to Russia, and at least not bring any kind of drugs there, in the future. Maybe, you won't get jailed.) It's always with Russia or North Korea, that these prisoner swaps have to be done.

And Russia is such a great ally?

No one said that they’re an ally, they are an adversary with the largest nuke supply in the world, it would help to have a mutual understanding coexistence with them

True. I wouldn’t go for sure. Just like, I would never go to China.

Maybe, you won't get jailed.) It's always with Russia or North Korea, that these prisoner swaps have to be done.

True, but again, like them or hate them, we can’t ignore these nations, we just can’t, even if we find them repulsive.

Congress says no:

Why was USAID providing funds to Tokyo University, Mitsubishi UFJ, Mainichi newspaper . . .

Thank you Trump and Musk for stopping the waste of US taxpayer money.

What do you think you will spend the 0.6% of the budget on? Oh I know, 16% on tax cuts.

The patriot knows that some countries have to be bought for national security. Then there are those we just try to keep from collapsing and flooding our borders or brewing new diseases.

0.6% is the large scale social deception number made up by the media to act like it’s really nothing.

So 0.6% of what total amount?

*Administration officials “have not offered any explanation for why a blanket suspension of all congressionally appropriated foreign aid, which set off a shockwave and upended” contracts with thousands of nonprofit groups, businesses and others, “was a rational precursor to reviewing programs,” Judge Amir H. Ali said in his ruling.*

Maybe our MAGA friends can explain.

We absolutely must insult and bully our allies. While praising and appeasing our real enemies.

Half a billion dollars worth of food left to rot. Money that was allocated by Congress.

Sure. And we should condemn Putin and Russia and make them a pariah.

Thank goodness for fair, honest judges doing their best to protect our democracy from Trump The Tyrant and his band of far-right fascists...

Maybe our MAGA friends can explain.

Under the United States Constitution, Article III, Section 1, federal court judges, including district court judges, "shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour." They can be impeached. SpeakerJohnson, it's up to the House of Representatives. Let’s see where this will go. They are trying to get Trump to ignore a court order so they can impeach him. They don't know the traps are set to gather evidence. Whatever they do with the money from here on forward will become serious evidence to reclaim their assets. He’s not falling for it, let the process work itself out, let the Dems file all the lawsuits and then have the SC give the final word and rule in the President’s favor and then stop them once and for all so the findings and cost savings can continue.

Great point! Part of the purpose of having good relationships with other countries is to share information, such as a possible outbreak of a disease. Also, the CIA and FBI routinely gets intel from other countries, and having a good relationship with them makes that possible. Breaking off friendships, gutting intelligence agencies, and laying off tons of federal workers will weaken America's ability to fight terrorism.

Trump wants to cut healthcare, social services, education, energy, and infrastructure spending, but increase defense and the Department of Homeland (which is responsible for his deportation of immigrants). And this will make American lives better?

It's also crazy to think that back during the Obama presidency, Michelle Obama put forth a system to provide healthier options for school lunches, then Trump came in and got rid of that, and now, he and RFK want to make school lunches healthy again and say it like it was his marvelous idea?

Trump wants to cut healthcare, social services, education, energy, and infrastructure spending,

The unnecessary pork, absolutely, the programs themselves, NO.

but increase defense and the Department of Homeland

Absolutely, and those cuts will allow us to do just that.

(which is responsible for his deportation of immigrants). And this will make American lives better? 

Yes

It's also crazy to think that back during the Obama presidency, Michelle Obama put forth a system to provide healthier options for school lunches,

Because kids weren’t eating them

then Trump came in and got rid of that

Yes

, and now, he and RFK want to make school lunches healthy again and say it like it was his marvelous idea?

They want people to aware and to get the crap out of our food. We have over 10,000 chemicals in our food, you should be able to eat what you want, but you have every right to know what chemicals are in there and whether you want to consume them or not.

Not really, the most important thing is to get the rot out and second, they will always keep the friendship intact when regards to intelligence, because their security interests align with ours as well
