Judge Young is beyond livid — and fuming. He has another hearing that was supposed to begin minutes ago, and he's still going.
"I've never seen a record where racial discrimination is so palpable. I've been on the bench for 40 years. I've never seen government racial discrimination like this."

After issuing his rulings, Judge Young has some absolutely stark words for the Trump administration.
"This represents racial discrimination and discrimination against America's LGBTQ community. That's what this is. I would be blind to not to call it out. My duty is to call it out."

🚨 BREAKING: Nearly 4 months the NIH cut its first grants, a judge has ruled that the directives and process that led to cuts are arbitrary and capricious.

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka.
They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

So we’ve seen plain clothes, ice agents arrest grad students, a mayor and countless others. Are they doing it to scare us? Are they doing it to distract us? Or are they doing it because they want to make a case for the “abolish ice” movement?

When the President of the United States says he doesn’t know if he should uphold the Constitution, it should be a searing red line for every American.
If you let him ignore ANY aspect of the Constitution you embolden him to ignore more of it, including the parts that secure YOUR freedoms & rights.
