All across America, the opposition continues to rise up. In the last few days we’ve seen thousands of anti-Trump protesters gather in California, Colorado, Iowa, Maryland, DC, and other states across the country.
Just yesterday, Democrats held a large demonstration outside of the VA building to oppose Trump and DOGE’s slashing of the federal workforce.
Standing alongside union leaders, Veterans, and dozens of agency employees, Sen. Richard Blumenthal said: “Elon Musk: Nine million veterans are watching you give them the middle finger, and we’re not going to stand for it.”
On Wednesday, Judge Amy Berman Jackson ripped Donald for unlawfully firing a top government watchdog, and ordered they be reinstated—at least for now. In a scathing footnote of the order, the Judge wrote: “It’s as if the bull in the china shop looked back over his shoulder and said, ‘What a mess!’”
PA Gov. Josh Shapiro is suing the Trump Administration for the ongoing federal funding freeze. And Kentucky joined a list of nearly two dozen states that have filed a larger suit to reinstate around $1.2 billion in suspended federal grants.
Following a sharp decrease in attendance, Denver’s public school system is suing the Trump Administration over its policy of allowing ICE in schools. If successful, the lawsuit could result in a nationwide ban of ICE entering classrooms.
Attorney Norm Eisen also filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk and DOGE for “violating the Constitution.” Norm, who was once President Obama’s ethics czar, has also filed suit to prevent the release of identities of FBI agents who investigated Trump.
The courts aren’t the only place Trump is getting embarrassed. After Donald announced that he and Putin would broker a peace deal for Ukraine, world leaders stood up and spoke out.
“There can be no negotiation about Ukraine without Ukraine,” UK’s Secretary of State for Defence John Healey said. French President Emmanuel Macron said it’s up to Zelensky “alone” to discuss these “sovereignty issues.”
Lastly, Trump and Musk refuse to reveal any tangible proof of fraud they’ve claimed to uncover. This makes them look like the complete and utter failures they are.

Yes! There’s a list of wonderfully talented and reputable people who have cancelled or resigned. More good news that he is being rejected by the people he seeks acceptance from.
Here’s the list: Award-winning television producer Shonda Rhimes resigned from the board in the wake of the changes, and opera star Renée Fleming announced she was leaving her role as special adviser to the centre. Actor Issa Rae and band Low Cut Connie cancelled planned events, while pianist Ben Folds said he was stepping down as NSO artistic director.

Judge Who Made Life Hell for Trump Will Oversee Case on Elon Musk
Judge Tanya Chutkan, who presided over Trump’s federal election interference case, was assigned the federal lawsuit filed by 14 states against the president and Musk, attacking the so-called Department of Government Efficiency’s authority.
Chutkan gained the national spotlight as she refused to accept arguments from Trump’s legal team at nearly every step in the January 6 case. She infuriated Trump when she placed a gag order on him in October 2023 and said that his presidential candidacy did not give him “carte blanche” to vilify public servants “who are simply doing their job.” Trump lashed out at the judge, calling her “the most evil person” as she seemed unwilling to bend to the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling.
Now, Chutkan will preside over a pivotal lawsuit that will determine the future of the U.S. government and the second Trump administration. The suit directly attacks Musk as a “21st century tech baron,” claiming that “the scope and reach of his executive authority appear unprecedented in U.S. history.”
