On Thursday, a federal judge in Massachusetts issued a preliminary injunction blocking President Trump and U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon from carrying out Trump’s executive order calling for the secretary to close the Education Department.
The judge also told the administration to reinstate the roughly 1,300 Education Department employees who were told in March that they would lose their jobs as part of a sweeping reduction-in-force and “to restore the Department to the status quo.”
In his ruling, District Court Judge Myong J. Joun wrote, “A department without enough employees to perform statutorily mandated functions is not a department at all. This court cannot be asked to cover its eyes while the Department’s employees are continuously fired and units are transferred out until the Department becomes a shell of itself.”
Or what? Seriously. He’s not going to do it, nothing will change, he won’t have any consequences, and he will continue penetrating America’s proverbial asshole with a hot curling iron.
Ideally, start arresting every person who enacts the president’s illegal actions. They should have arrested every person in DOGE that illegally occupied any of the government buildings or seized government information.
Its not going to happen.
Guess who tells bondi what to enforce?
Well interestingly enough that big beautiful bill removes the courts ability to do it…

If the president can ignore the court, the court can ignore the laws.
Of course, down that road lies. . . well, we passed Madness a while back. Not sure where this road leads, anymore.
Did the big beautiful bill make it through?
Yeah, the House passed it this morning.
Still has to pass the Senate
Angry fiscal conservatives might still kill it if their constituents are up in arms about spending
Oh for sure. Senate Republicans have stated that they were annoyed the house was wasting their time with the bill in its current form.
It will probably end up changing significantly. Most of the Senate is more moderate than House members.
