Trump's Busy Day In The Federal Courts -- And It's Not Gonna Be Over For The Day -- Until 11 PM EST. Trump Is Now VIOLATING Federal Court Orders.


It is just. . . utterly silly -- how precious little Musk and Tangerine understand about public entity employees -- and employment law, in America.

So they will keep on. . . losing. See here, and here -- as just two court ordered examples from this day -- today, alone.

And I'd say. . . this pull-quote sums up nicely, where we are -- from a labor law professor not involved in these cases -- deftly outlining how incompetent Team Tangerine 2.0 is:

. . ."In the tech universe, 'move fast and break things' is a fine motto in part because they're not playing with the public's money, and it's expected that most initiatives are going to fail," Loyola Marymount law professor Justin Leavitt told ABC News. "Congress knows that, so in 1946 they basically said, 'When agencies do stuff. . . they have to be careful about it. They've got to consider all aspects of the problem. . . ."

[And from the 19 state AGs' filing -- just made, at 5 PM EST today:]

. . .Moreover, as five former Treasury secretaries have confirmed in an editorial published in the New York Times today, “[t]he nation’s payment system has historically been operated by a very small group of nonpartisan career civil servants,” including the Fiscal Assistant Secretary, whose duties have now been delegated to Mr. Krause (see Krause Aff. ¶ 1) but “for the prior eight decades had been reserved exclusively for civil servants to ensure impartiality and public confidence in the handling and payment of federal funds.” Rubin, et al., Five Former Treasury Secretaries: Our Democracy Is Under Siege, New York Times (Feb. 10, 2025). . . . The former Treasury Secretaries explain with compelling force why political appointees would have no need to access the BFS records or systems. . . . [The signees are Robert Rubin, Lawrence Summers, Timothy Geithner, Jacob Lew, and Janet Yellin, all former Treasury Secretaries.]


Onward to the federal "night court filings" in Manhattan, next. Hilarious. And sad.

We should never have to live like this -- daily, correcting fifth grader-level mistakes, by the supposed POTUS. [But we all know -- and his own lawyers. . . well-know. . . these are not likely to be "mistakes", at all. They are the feature: Chaos -- not the mistakes / "bug", to be resolved. Not at all.] Do not let it wear you down. Do not give in. Do not resign. Ugh.
