“the President's invocation of the #AEA through the Proclamation EXCEEDS THE SCOPE of the statute & is contrary to the plain, ordinary meaning of the statute's terms. As a result, the Court concludes that as a matter of #law, the #ExecutiveBranch cannot rely on the AEA, based on the Proclamation, to detain the Named Petitioners & the certified class, or to remove them from the country.”
Today, #access to the sitting US president carries a greater potential political currency than ever. “#Trump is amalgamating even more #power in the #ExecutiveBranch than anyone has before,” claims Jeff Hauser, executive director at the Revolving Door Project, an organization that seeks to scrutinize the behavior of elected officials. “With ever greater power comes a larger warehouse of favors that can be sold.”

I am absolutly with you. Don‘t get me wrong. The problem is neither the #senate nor the #house/#congress… it‘s the wonna-be #king of the #usa who thinks that he can do whatever he pleases. THAT makes the world such an unsafe place right now… #Trump litterally drives the #world into #war. Normally, #POTUS is the #executiveBranch, only in a major #crisis he can stear with #absolutePower… so he declares everything as a crisis. He thinks he is above the #law… he even bragued about it.

…The fate of the statutory protections in question rests on how #SCOTUS treats Humphrey's Executor & related rulings. In the 1935 ruling, the court upheld for-cause removal protections for FTC members, faulting Roosevelt's firing for policy differences.
In that decision, SCOTUS said restricting a president's removal was lawful because that agency performed tasks more closely resembling #legislative & #judicial functions, rather than those belonging squarely to the #ExecutiveBranch.
#DonaldTrump is a fucking evil creature
#ThePeople must #impeach and #remove that (and the vice president and speaker of the house) cancer from our government if the #GOP keeps shitting its pants like an infant instead of putting its big-boy pants and amendment-25 the #childRapist and #sexualBatterer in charge of the #ExecutiveBranch of the #USA
the #RepublicanParty WILL PAY for decades for its ass-kissery and dumbassery, including its kids

The #trump administration states law enforcement is allowed to enter your without a warrant!
They claim their actions are unconstrained by the Fourth Amendment.
Should we rename our law enforcement the “Gestapo”?
Trump has decided that the #ExecutiveBranch has the power to #arrest #imprison suspects and even #deport them to foreign #prison with no #DueProcess.
This is #unconstitutional. If #Congress and the #SupremeCourt don’t stand up now, it’s over.

The #Trump administration continues to make us all less safe, this time regarding #CyberSecurity. This is wild to let this funding lapse. I assume it's #DOGE related, but if not it's simple incompetence to let funding lapse.
I'm not even a security expert but I know this is an incredibly valued resource for keeping all our technology safe.
Call your #Congress reps. Get them caring about this and holding the #ExecutiveBranch responsible for this nonsense

…#USIP & members of its fired board filed a lawsuit, naming #DOGE & its reps, #Trump & members of his Cabinet. The suit claims the #ExecutiveBranch had no authority to dismiss the leadership & staff of the institute because it was created by the #LegislativeBranch [#Congress], nor could it take over USIP’s privately owned HQ building. Briefs in the case are scheduled during April, with a hearing near the end of the month.

The govt typically has an advantage when defending its policies against #legal challenges. #Courts generally defer to the #ExecutiveBranch’s factual declarations & formal representations about what is happening & why, rather than probing for what may actually be going on.
But the flood of #litigation unleashed by the radical opening months of #Trump’s 2nd term — combined w/his habit of peddling distortions & outright #lies — is testing that practice.

On Friday, several #DOGE employees arrived at the #UnitedStates Institute of #Peace [#USIP], accompanied by 2 #FBI agents, according to Gonzo Gallegos, the institute's communications director. They left after a brief discussion about the institute's status.
The institute is not part of the federal #ExecutiveBranch, but is instead an #independent, #nonprofit agency that was established by #Congress in 1984.

The #Trump #WhiteHouse has taken its attempt to seize direct control over the entire #ExecutiveBranch to a new level and laid out a startling legal rationale for the move in a previously unreported email obtained by #TPM. If successful, Trump would be making a dramatic end run around the #Senate’s #AdviceAndConsent power for certain appointed positions.

Trump and Musk’s Lawless Power Grab Is Scrambling the Legal Resistance
The administration’s assault on #government regulations was expected. But how do you fight a budding #dictator in court?
https://newrepublic.com/article/191846/trump-musk-doge-executive-power-government-regulations
"The #law & the #Trump administration’s policy, though, are quite distinct. The White House’s attempts to #purge the federal workforce, close down entire depts, & centralize power in the #ExecutiveBranch are patently lawless."
Judicial Branch Instructs Employees To Ignore Mass DOGE Email
https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/judicial-branch-instruct-employees-to-ignore-mass-doge-email
"Saturday #DOGE email marks another intrusion by the #ExecutiveBranch on... the #JudicialBranch... It’s an absurd situation, & an example of the reckless approach that #Trump & #Musk have taken as they carry out a demolition job targeting wide swaths of the #government...
judiciary is a separate branch, outside of the purview of [Trump] & his courtier Musk."
Congressional #Republicans **could** do something to stop Musk because they have control over the #LegislativeBranch of the govt, which is supposed to act as a check and balance on the #ExecutiveBranch. But they choose not to.
So the rest of us need to protest and call and post and make enough noise to persuade the #GOP that they really do need to stop Musk's takeover of the US government.
The directive applies to various #ExecutiveBranch agencies that #Congress established & empowered to regulate aspects of the #economy, structuring them to be run by officials the president would appoint to fixed terms but whose day-to-day actions he would not directly control.
Those agencies include the #SEC, the #FTC, the #FCC & the #NLRB [#labor relations].
