This whole post is a lie except that Kirk admits the hold is only for one week. Everything else is just made up. The right is clearly now gearing up for defying the courts, even on something as common as this order.
New York Judge Paul Engelmayer just forbade all political appointees — including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent — from accessing Dept. of Treasury data, all based on Blueanon conspiracy theories!! Those theories couldn't be challenged because the order was EX PARTE — meaning Trump's lawyers weren't warned, and couldn't weigh in. Only Democrat Attorneys General were allowed to argue. The judge cites no law or logic to support this unprecedented order, because it defies both. The judge’s ruling is, in essence, that Scott Bessent simply occupies a ceremonial position without real power, like the King of England. This is a grenade thrown into the functioning of the Treasury Department. It forbids the elected government from accessing information about budget and finances. Instead, only the permanent, deep-state government can know what's being spent. It means Scott Bessent's subordinates have far more power than Scott Bessent does. Democrat pundits who whine about the Constitution are liars, and will shred it the first chance they get. For now, the order is only for the next week, but if a court tries to make it permanent the Trump Administration should absolutely consider defying it. Better yet, SCOTUS should bar this judge from ever hearing similar cases again, and every Democrat lawyer involved should be sanctioned.

@KeithGrossFL The right is lining up to call for the lawless defying of court orders, when all they have to do is appeal to a higher court. This is the damage from J6: if you don’t like an outcome just blow up the system.

What we’re seeing is the overwhelming victory of right wing messaging, where good people have been fed so many lies so many times that they’re angry enough to blow up our institutions in order to right wrongs that never happened. Surreal.
This is a video made by a woman who has been lied to, and is enraged about things that did not happen. USAID did not pay Angelina Jolie to visit Zelenskyy and take a picture. It did not pay Ben Stiller to do that. But this woman is convinced they did, and is furious about it.
