One fine thing about Biden was he approved the Trump tariffs by keeping them in force plus he hammered China very hard with way more staggering tariffs.
Remember what happened to Desiree Grace?

A federal judge on Thursday disqualified acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba from participating in any ongoing cases lodged by her office, after the lawfulness of her appointment by the Trump administration was challenged by defendants in two separate criminal cases.
Judge Matthew Brann said that Habba’s appointment as the state’s top federal prosecutor by the administration “through a novel series of legal and personnel moves” was not legally valid.
Habba is a former personal lawyer for President Donald Trump.
“The Court concludes that Ms. Habba has exercised the functions and duties of the office of the United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey without lawful authority since July 1, 2025,” wrote Brann in his opinion.
“Her actions since that point may be declared void,” wrote the judge, who sits in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.

AI Overview
Following a complex judicial dispute, a panel of federal judges in New Jersey temporarily appointed Desiree Leigh Grace as the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey in July 2025. The appointment came after the interim term of President Donald Trump's pick, Alina Habba, expired.
Here's a breakdown of what happened:
- A judicial appointment: In July 2025, federal judges for the District of New Jersey appointed prosecutor Desiree Leigh Grace to serve as U.S. attorney after the 120-day interim term of Alina Habba expired without a Senate confirmation. Under federal law, district court judges have the authority to make such an appointment if a presidential nominee is not confirmed within 120 days.
- The firing of Grace: Hours later, the Justice Department, under Attorney General Pam Bondi, fired Grace. Bondi stated on social media that the department does "not tolerate rogue judges".
- Habba reinstated: The Trump administration then used a procedural maneuver to reinstall Habba as the acting U.S. Attorney. The administration fired Grace, withdrew Habba's Senate nomination, and then reappointed Habba as the first assistant U.S. attorney, making her eligible to serve as acting U.S. Attorney.
- Legal challenge: Grace has since filed a complaint with the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board, arguing her firing was an unjustified retaliation for her appointment.
- Ongoing legal fight: The Justice Department has appealed a judge's ruling that Habba's continued service was unlawful, further complicating the situation.
Lower Court, which was then overruled.
Bondi has not been reversed. Another issue, courts that reversed the Trump administration are rapidly being overturned by the Supreme Court.

After the court said he couldn’t forgive those loans he announced he found another way around it. How is that obeying the ruling?

The court didn't say "thou shalt not forgive student debt". They said he couldn't do it the way they had originally planned.
The Biden Administration obeyed all court orders and decisions.
Unlike the lawless tRumplings.

You get little temporary wins in the lower courts by nutty left wing judges. We win the big ones nullifying your temporary talking point.

Appeals court upholds ruling that disqualified Alina Habba from serving as New Jersey's top prosecutor
In a loss for the Trump administration, an appeals court Monday upheld a lower court ruling disqualifying Alina Habba from her position as acting U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey.In a 32-page ruling, the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that Habba's appointment violates the Federal Vacancies Reform Act, or FVRA.
Judge Michael Fisher wrote for the three-judge panel, "It is apparent that the current administration has been frustrated by some of the legal and political barriers to getting its appointees in place," saying the steps it took to install Habba run afoul of the law.
The decision stems from motions from three criminal defendants who argued that President Donald Trump’s appointment of Habba, who had been overseeing their case, was unlawful and that she should be disqualified and the cases against them dismissed.
A lower court judge declined to dismiss their cases but agreed Habba should be disqualified — and the appeals court agreed.
Attorneys who challenged Habba's appointment praised the ruling in a joint statement.

Not to worry Alina. Having zero prosecutorial experience is not an impediment for the regime when it comes to finding something else you are unqualified to do.

Be brief or get lost.Here's a summary.
With the constant swirl of chaos many of you may have forgotten who Desiree is. She's the person who was in line to take over for Alina Habba after Habba's 120 day, temporary role as the US Attorney for NJ expired. A court in NJ having ruled she could not continue in the role. Here's a refresher to jar your memory.
Pam Bondi fires U.S. attorney whom N.J. judges had named to replace Trump ally Alina Habba
Bondi blasted the federal judges as "politically minded" after they named Desiree Leigh Grace to replace Habba.
www.nbcnews.com
Well, yes, Pam Bondi stepped in to block what would have been the normal line of succession by firing Desiree. Ostensibly allowing Habba, the consummate trump loyalist and former defense attorney, to continue to run the office. Then justice stepped in.
A federal judge on Thursday disqualified acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba from participating in any ongoing criminal cases lodged by her office, after the lawfulness of her appointment by the Trump administration was challenged in two separate cases.
Judge Matthew Brann said that Habba’s appointment as the interim top federal prosecutor in New Jersey by the administration, “through a novel series of legal and personnel moves,” was not legally valid.

Why is this relevant?
Because a woman named Maya Song was in line to take over for Erik Seibert after he resigned/was fired as the US Attorney in VA for refusing to bring a case against Letisha James due to a lack of evidence. Instead, Song was demoted to make way for trump to appoint Lindsey Halligan to the position. Lindsey being the kind of obedient soldier willing to do what Song, Seibert, and the staff in the VA office thought was not warranted, bring charges against Jim Comey.
Carol Leonnig reports Maya Song fired.........
Multiple news outlets reported in September 2025 that Maya Song, the First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, was demoted from her leadership role
. This move, along with the resignation of her boss, U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert, occurred under pressure from the Trump administration.
Details on the demotion:
- Source of the reports: Reports of Song's demotion were published by outlets including The New York Times, The Washington Post, and MSNBC. While not directly attributed to Carol Leonnig, Leonnig has reported extensively for MSNBC on related issues at the Department of Justice.
- The move: Rather than being fired from the office entirely, Song was reassigned to a role as a line prosecutor, which is a significant demotion from her position as the office's No. 2.
- Political context: The reshuffling came after Siebert resisted pressure from the Trump administration to pursue a politically-motivated investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James.
- Reason for demotion: As the No. 2 official, Song would have been next in line to take over the office. However, anonymous sources told ABC News that the Trump administration planned to dismiss her from the leadership role.
As of Friday afternoon Leonnig is reporting Song has been fired.
