When the president gets ordered, multiple times, to pay out federal food benefits as the law requires:
The 47th president of the United States, seated at a desk in the Oval Office while sporting a s––-eating grin and an American flag pin on his suit's lapel. I've desaturated the image to make it look a slightly sepia black-and-white — and added superimposed text in the style of a Michael Jordan-themed Jumpman meme. In this image as in the Jumpman meme, the text reads: "F–– them kids." The seal of the president of the United States is placed in the image where the Jumpman logo would be seen in the original meme.

Historian here No Kings is the most American thing you could say and the people opposing it simply don’t believe in our republic or constitutional democracy.

e is now elear to the Court that the omissions from the list declaration rendered it to be highly misleading, if not intentionally false. Defendants' initial effort to persuade the Court in their opposition that employees were hard at work on their statutory duties even after they were ordered to stand down on February 10 has been shown to be unreliable and inconsistent with the agency's own contemporaneous records, and the defendants' eleventh hour attempt to suggest immediately before the hearing that the stop work order was not really a stop work order at all was so disingenuous that the Court is left with little confidence that the defense can be trusted to tell the truth about anything After consideration of the record as a whole, then, including all of the declarations and exhibits submitted by both sides, and the testimony introduced by both sides at the hearing, the Court finds that it is likely that plaintiffs will succeed on the merits. The evidence reveals that: the defendants were in fact engaged in a concerted, expedited effort to shut the agency down entirely when the motion for injunctive relief was filed; while the effort to do so was stalled by the Court's intervention, the plan remains unchanged; and the defendants have absolutely no intention of operating the CFPB at all. While the President is free to propose legislation to Congress to accomplish this aim, the defendants are not free to eliminate an agency created by statute on their own, and certainly not before the Court has had an opportunity to rule on the merits of the plaintiffs' challenge.

Elon Musk and his team say they have saved the government $55 billion. Their “wall of receipts” is riddled with mistakes.
DOGE’s Only Public Ledger Is Riddled With Mistakes
The figures from Elon Musk’s team of outsiders represent billions in government cuts. They are also full of accounting errors, outdated data and other miscalculations.
