Child of history teachers that served in WWII. Raised to believe in the ideals enshrined in our Constitution. We must always choose those values. America has made missteps before, many saw them & chose a better path. Now it is our turn to make that path.

BREAKING: This executive order would block tens of millions of American citizens from voting. Presidents have no authority to do this. This order, like the SAVE Act now before Congress, would hurt voters and suppress the vote.

Problem solved, right?

Judge Chutkan won't issue a sweeping TRO against Elon Musk & DOGE—but fires this shot across the bow:

"Plaintiffs legitimately call into question what appears to be the unchecked authority of an

Media are missing this if they don't include it.

Yes, Judge Chutkan just denied temporary restraining order in New Mexico v Musk.

But judge signals plaintiffs have the better argument when this reaches the merits: That Elon Musk is exercising power in violation of Appointments Clause.
