He interrupted a meeting with world leaders so he could call his Russian handler for forty minutes, but he did it in another room because he didn’t want to disrespect *Putin*
FOX: What was the reaction among European leaders when you decided to call Putin during your meeting?
TRUMP: I didn't do it in front of them. I thought that would be disrespectful to President Putin.

“The Government is directed not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this Court.” — U.S. Supreme Court, April 19, 2025

The Night the Court Blinked First
When the Supreme Court acted in the dead of night to stop the Trump administration from deporting migrants to a foreign prison, it was more than a legal intervention—it was a rupture. For the first time in Trump’s second term, a majority of justices signaled they no longer trust the Executive to obey the law. The question now is whether that signal becomes a turning point—or another warning unheeded.

Who in the administration knew about Trump's latest tariff flip flop ahead of time? Did anyone buy or sell stocks, and profit at the public’s expense?

I keep wondering whether Elon's posse have been explicitly told that while they are breaking all sorts of laws not to worry for they have already received preemptive pardons from Trump. It's why I think Dems need to make criminal referrals on these guys and define what they are doing as criminal.
Spending funds Congress has not appropriated literally violates the Constitution and to do so knowingly and willfully is a crime punishable by two years in prison. See 31 USC 1341(a) and 1350.

No one wants a paper trail because spending funds Congress has not appropriated is colloquially known as “stealing from the US Treasury.”

Our coup got coupier. Our authoritarianism got more authoritarian. And of course this is stupidity as a battering ram against what is legal and constitutional, because they weaponize stupidity.
If you wonder how countries slip into dictatorship, it’s like this.
Amidst another flurry of news, an official adds at the end that Trump has signed an Executive Order saying that “only the President or Attorney General can speak for the US…as to what the law is.”
What?!
