Police union that endorsed Trump blasts Jan. 6 pardons​


President Trump's near-total pardon of Jan. 6 rioters was denounced by the Fraternal Order of Police, the largest police union in the U.S., and the International Association of Chiefs of Police on Tuesday.
The big picture: The groups said they're deeply discouraged by pardons and commutations made by both the Biden and Trump administrations of individuals convicted of killing or assaulting law enforcement officers.

Driving the news: The groups said in a statement they firmly believe those convicted of such crimes should serve full sentences.

  • "Allowing those convicted of these crimes to be released early diminishes accountability and devalues the sacrifices made by courageous law enforcement officers and their families," per the statement.
  • "When perpetrators of crimes, especially serious crimes, are not held fully accountable, it sends a dangerous message that the consequences for attacking law enforcement are not severe, potentially emboldening others to commit similar acts of violence," the unions said.

Widespread remorse for supporting the Felon-in-Chief is just beginning.
 
President Donald Trump’s executive order targeting transgender service members and an array of other people was quickly met with a lawsuit brought Tuesday by organizations advocating for transgender people. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Washington on behalf of six service members, challenges the order’s legality on constitutional grounds, stating that affected service members have built their lives around military service.

Nonprofit groups and a small business organization filed a lawsuit on Tuesday asking a judge to temporarily block a funding freeze ordered by the Trump administration of federal grants and loans.

The lawsuit says the freeze by the Office of Management and Budget set to take effect at 5 p.m. ET on Tuesday is illegal.

The suit in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., blasts the OMB’s action, which became known Monday night through a two-page memo. CNBC has requested comment from OMB on the suit.

Attorneys general from 22 states sued Tuesday to block President Donald Trump’s move to end a century-old immigration practice known as birthright citizenship guaranteeing that U.S.-born children are citizens regardless of their parents’ status.

Trump’s roughly 700-word executive order, issued late Monday, amounts to a fulfillment of something he’s talked about during the presidential campaign. But whether it succeeds is far from certain amid what is likely to be a lengthy legal battle over the president’s immigration policies and a constitutional right to citizenship.

The Democratic attorneys general and immigrant rights advocates say the question of birthright citizenship is settled law and that while presidents have broad authority, they are not kings.

Over the weekend, billionaire Elon Musk gained some level of access to the Treasury Department’s federal payment system, thanks to the pliancy of newly confirmed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

Fiscal Assistant Secretary David Lebryk, the highest ranking civil servant in the department, had reportedly fought Musk’s access since before the inauguration, and sought backup from Bessent last week. None came, and Lebryk abruptly retired Friday after being put on administrative leave.

Anonymous sources on Saturday sought to smooth the reporting on Musk’s takeover, telling Politico that Musk and his stooges’ access is “essentially a read-only operation,” and the New York Times that they “have yet to gain operational abilities and no government payments have been blocked.”

It’s a cold comfort, given that Musk and his allies now have access to the payment spigot through which runs trillions of dollars annually disbursed from various agencies, and which houses highly sensitive data on the millions of Americans who receive tax refunds and other federal payments, including Social Security checks.

“Career Treasury officials are breaking the law every hour of every day by approving payments that are fraudulent or do not match the funding laws passed by Congress,” he tweeted, part of a nonstop flurry of posts over the weekend.

Democrats are mustering a response. Both Sens. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), ranking members on Senate Finance and Banking, respectively, sent Bessent letters seeking information about what exactly Musk’s control entails. “I am alarmed that as one of your first acts as Secretary, you appear to have handed over a highly sensitive system responsible for millions of Americans’ private data — and a key function of government — to an unelected billionaire and an unknown number of his unqualified flunkies,” Warren wrote, demanding answers to a list of questions including the names and functions of the systems Musk has been given access to.

President Donald Trump’s era of retribution has begun. A wave of legal resistance is next.

With a blinding speed that has left adversaries virtually paralyzed, Trump allies are purging the Justice Department and FBI of perceived enemies. Elon Musk, empowered by Trump, has deployed a band of loyalists to take over the federal spending apparatus managed by the U.S. Treasury. Trump’s temporary pick to lead federal prosecutions in Washington says anyone who resists Musk’s efforts could be breaking “numerous laws.”
All eyes are now on federal courts, where challenges to these decisions are slowly starting to take shape. Two judges have already blocked the White House from implementing its across-the-board spending freeze. And lawsuits in federal courts are potentially the last vanguard for those hoping to stop Trump’s efforts to remake the federal government.

‘Accidental’ F.B.I. Chief Builds a Following as Agency’s Defender​


Brian Driscoll, the acting director of the F.B.I., has become an improbable symbol of quiet resistance toward the Justice Department’s campaign to single out F.B.I. employees who investigated the Jan. 6 riot.

To start, Mr. Driscoll’s appointment was an accident. Shortly after President Trump’s inauguration, the White House identified the wrong agent as acting director on its website and never corrected the mistake.

Even if he was not meant to be leading the agency, he has defended the rank-and-file. His refusal to furnish the names of employees, as top Justice Department officials desired, and his insistence that a formal review process be put in place, has spurred widespread support for Mr. Driscoll.

Former and current agents have traded memes and satirical clips celebrating him, offering a rare moment of levity as dismay and deep unease set in across the F.B.I. and as Mr. Driscoll navigates the political perils of Washington and a president who is deeply hostile to the agency.

FBI agents sue Justice Department, alleging 'retribution' over their work on Jan. 6 cases​


WASHINGTON — Two groups of unnamed FBI agents who participated in Jan. 6 investigations have sued the Justice Department, claiming they were instructed to fill out a survey about their roles, if any, in those cases or in the investigation into Donald Trump's possession of documents marked classified at his Florida home between his terms as president.

In one suit, nine FBI agents argue that the specific purpose of the survey "is to identify agents and other FBI personnel to be terminated as a form of politically motivated retribution," according to their complaint, which was filed in U.S. District Court in Washington.


“Plaintiffs assert that the purpose for this list is to identify agents to be terminated or to suffer other adverse employment action," the complaint reads. "Plaintiffs reasonably fear that all or parts of this list might be published by allies of President Trump, thus placing themselves and their families in immediate danger of retribution by the now pardoned and at-large Jan. 6 convicted felons."

The agents have been informed they are “likely to be terminated in the very near future” for their work on the Jan. 6 and documents cases, the complaint continues.

Federal judge in Maryland blocks Trump’s birthright citizenship order​


A federal judge Tuesday indefinitely blocked President Donald Trump’s effort to curb birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented immigrants and foreigners with temporary visas, a decision that is likely to mean the executive order will not take effect as planned this month.

U.S. District Judge Deborah L. Boardman issued a preliminary injunction after a court hearing in Greenbelt, Maryland, in a lawsuit brought by civil rights groups aiming at stopping Trump’s order on the grounds that it violates the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment.

The injunction applies nationally and will remain in place as the case is adjudicated. The Maryland lawsuit is one of at least six federal cases brought against Trump’s order by a total of 22 Democratic-led states and more than a half-dozen civil rights groups. A federal judge in Seattle previously issued a 14-day restraining order.

Viva la resistance.
 
It’s been speculated that Musk’s rampage won’t last forever. People who suck up more oxygen/headlines than Trump tend to have a short shelf life in his inner circle. But the President is apparently too busy weaving imperialistic visions in front of the White House press pool to notice, at least for the moment, that his new buddy has stolen the spotlight.

And in the meantime the havoc that Musk is wreaking has evolved into a constitutional crisis. Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) — one of the three who voted against Hegseth’s nomination last month and one of two Senate Republicans who sometimes has a backbone — said as much in remarks to reporters on Wednesday.

“There’s no doubt that the president appears to have empowered Elon Musk far beyond what I think is appropriate,” she said. “I think a lot of it is going to end up in court.”

Trump sued over purge at NLRB, regulator targeted by SpaceX, Amazon and others​


The former chair of the National Labor Relations Board in a new lawsuit Wednesday accused President Donald Trump of breaking the law when he fired her from the agency last week.

Lawyers for Gwynne Wilcox argue that she was removed from her post for a “political purpose” in a manner that violates the 90-year-old statute that established the NLRB.

Her lawsuit in Washington, D.C., federal court seeks an order reinstating her on the board and declaring that her firing was unlawful.

Created by Congress to enforce U.S. labor laws, NLRB is an independent agency with board members who are insulated from arbitrary removal. No member of the NLRB had ever been fired by a president, until Wilcox.

On Trump’s first day in office, he replaced Wilcox as the chair with another board member. A week later, both Wilcox and the NLRB’s top lawyer, Jennifer Abruzzo, were fired in a “late-night email,” according to the suit.

Note to Dotard, fuck you.
 

Judge pauses Trump federal employee buyout offer pending court hearing​


A federal judge in Boston on Thursday paused nationwide the Trump administration’s offer of buyouts to federal employees, less than 11 hours before the deadline for workers to accept the deal.

Judge George O’Toole Jr., said that his injunction pausing the plan would continue until at least a court hearing Monday, when he will consider arguments by employee unions challenging the legality of the buyout, and by a lawyer for the Trump administration defending the plan.

O’Toole’s order Thursday came at a brief hearing, and as more than 60,000 people — about 3% of the federal workforce — have accepted the offer.

He said federal agencies must notify employees who received the buyout offer that the program has been enjoined until Monday.

“I make no assessment at this stage of the merits of the claims,” O’Toole said during Thursday’s hearing.

Besides pardoning violent criminals who were part of trump's J6 mob has he done anything not of dubious legal standing?
