More trump-Badministration corruption?

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge in Massachusetts on Tuesday struck down several Trump administration actions slowing down development of clean energy

Chief Judge Denise J. Casper of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts ruled that a coalition of plaintiffs representing wind and solar developers were likely to succeed on the merits of their claims that the administration's actions violate federal statute and will cause irreparable harm if the court did not intervene.

She issued a preliminary injunction to stop the administration from implementing the policies, which clean energy advocates said would hamstring projects that need to get underway quickly to qualify for expiring federal tax credits.

The obviously corrupt republican/partisan DOJ  has been FORCED to drop their "criminal" investigation into Fed chair Jerome Powell

Straitjackets should be a mandatory dress code for this administration.

Their actions/inactions are disgraceful & unforgivable.

 Appeals court rules that Trump’s asylum ban at the border is illegal

Associated Press-
An appeals court on Friday blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order suspending asylum access at the southern border of the U.S., a key pillar of the Republican president’s plan to crack down on migration.

A three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit found that immigration laws give people the right to apply for asylum at the border, and the president can’t circumvent that.

The court opinion stems from action taken by Trump on Inauguration Day 2025, when he declared that the situation at the southern border constituted an invasion of America and that he was “suspending the physical entry” of migrants and their ability to seek asylum until he decides it is over.

Cato institute finds that Trump administration reduces legal immigration far more than illegal immigration.  Xenophobic far right fears great replacement of white population by immigration although just 15% of US population is foreign born.  Besides, illegal border crossings have declined by 90% under Biden administration.  With less immigration, future population and economic growth probably shrink but government deficits would increase.

@fubah2  "investigation of Powell"

Frivolous prosecution has been a regular tactic of Trump justice department targeting political enemies.  For examples, law firms, media firms, schools, civil rights groups, Comey, James and Powell.  Goal is intimidation and not conviction in court.  

Rumor has it that our national avg price at the pump is not expected to rise this weekend.

Close....but the republicans (led by der Fuhrer) still did manage to raise the national average price at the pump another cent to $4.44

The racist/convicted FELON’s hopes of using public funding
to secure his proposed White House ballroom [despite his former
promises that it would be entirely privately funded]
are under threat after a Senate official said Saturday
a $1 billion Secret Service line item could NOT be included
in a [fascist] GOP immigration enforcement bill as drafted.

High gas prices & cost of living, under the notorious trump-MAGA regime, send US consumer sentiment crashing to new all-time LOW! 

A.Wallace -
 A closely watched measurement of US consumer sentiment
      fell to a fresh, all-time low in May, [under trump's Reich]
  according to the latest survey from the University of Michigan.

      The May consumer sentiment index  dropped for the third
consecutive month,  crashing down to 44.2, landing below the
previous record low of 49.8 set in April [also under trump's Reich]

 But to MAGAs this is okay because trump is NOT to blame . . .

                                                                 "It's all Joe Biden's fault!" 

Not that narrow sentiment readings are a sure thing but that number today I read is down over 20% since the excursion started so not sure how anyone except the dope who got played can be blamed for this. 

Pretty much every single thing he has done is inflationary and the massive number of lies he spun to get the fools to vote for him is staggering, but he did the same thing his first go and lied then too.

Even if this war ends which it will at some point the inflation impacts will hang around for several years since the flow through in input costs will take a long time to process.

@wallstreetcappers

 Well you make a good point......Inflation under Joe Biden's term was not directly caused by him, while this inflation *IS* being caused DIRECTLY by trump (and his dumphuck accomplices).  HUGE difference!  And this particular trump-caused inflation isn't just negatively affecting US citizens, but rather the entire globe!!! Yet he has the gall to claim the world loves & respects HIM and MAGA policies.

The gaslighting continues...

  • The Republicans joining the Democrats to pass the war powers resolution is the latest instance of the GOP-controlled Congress pushing back on Trump’s [fascist] agenda.

  • Senate Republicans have revolted over a controversial $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund that Trump favors, but which they fear would grant payouts to his supporters who attacked police officers during the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.

  • Senate Republicans formally removed funding for Trump’s ballroom security on Wednesday as part of their immigration package.

Republicans join Democrats to approve Ukraine aid and Russian sanctions, defying Trump and GOP leaders

More than a dozen GOP lawmakers defied their own leadership — and President Donald Trump — by voting with Democrats to approve a major bill to deliver billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine while imposing steep sanctions on Russia.

@fubah2  "Ukraine aid"

Russia is a greater threat than Iran.  Many countries support Ukraine's legal and necessary self defense against Russian aggression.  Except for Israel, no country supports illegal and unnecessary war against Iran.

Say "NO!" to MAGA prejudice!

June 5 (Reuters) - A judge on Friday blocked  [trump's] Department of Agriculture from withholding tens of billions of dollars in federal funds from states [extortion, common tactic of convicted felons] unless they complied ?with the [fascist regime's] policies on immigration enforcement, transgender people and other issues.

Tehran and the US exchanged strikes

**So I guess this is the end of trump's much ballyhooed cease-fire agreement.

@fubah2  "Iran ceasefire"

Peaceful ceasefire is a joke because of continued fighting.  But Trump administration must still pretend the war is over because War resolutions act requires US to withdraw military without congress approval. Experts believe Trump has no good options now.  Either escalate conflict or make a humiliating deal.  Probably a temporary deal at best that is not as good as Obama Iran nuclear deal which Trump stupidly abandoned.

The new Judgement order is yet another rebuke of Trump's DOJ by a federal judge over the agency’s efforts to investigate or prosecute President Donald Trump’s personal and political enemies.

“The Department is not conducting a criminal investigation, but is instead using the grand jury process for other (unlawful) purposes,” wrote Schiltz, an appointee of former President George W. Bush.

Under Trump administration, courts no longer trust justice department.  Federal judge rejects subpoenas harassing Minnesota officials for failing to assist in enforcement of federal immigration law.  States have the legal right not to help because of constitutional separation of powers.  Disturbing that Trump is weaponizing justice system against people he disagreed with.
