Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

In Washington, a federal judge pressed pause on a key part of Trump’s bid to enforce sweeping changes to voting and election registration.

Opponents claimed his executive order requiring people to produce a document proving their citizenship before voting overstepped his presidential authority.

...

In San Francisco, another U.S. District Court Judge William Orrick barred the president from denying federal funds for “sanctuary” cities across the United States.

He ruled that the administration was prohibited “from directly or indirectly taking any action to withhold, freeze, or condition federal funds.”

...

The judge said the education department did not “even define what a ‘DEI program’ is” when it wrote to schools enforcing the change.

“A professor runs afoul of the 2025 Letter if she expresses the view in her teaching that structural racism exists in America, but does not do so if she denies structural racism’s existence. That is textbook viewpoint discrimination,” she said.

He’s going to do it anyway and no one is going to stop him.

Don't they teach this in law school? Laws only matter so long as they can be enforced. And sternly worded letters is not enforcement.

In some places the bureaucracy is still sufficiently law-abiding that these kinds of rulings can still reduce harm, that's a big part of the purpose DOGE serves with its purges.
