It is a "temporary" freeze on the spending. It's not like the money will not be spent. Personally, I do not think that the judge has a legitimate case, not that will stop the proceedings.

From what I can tell, the OMB issued the freeze funding memo. The OMB is within the Executive branch. Their function is to produce POTUS budget. Sounds like the judge has tried to assert authority over the Executive branch without specifying how the OMB action is unconstitutional. Ergo, Trump should tell the judge to fuckoff and stay in his lane.

^^^^^^ I agree 100%. IMHO the judge has jumped the shark.
So, it appears Kash Patel is up for confirmation hearings today. Expect incredible amounts of libtard whining all day, including even more egregious and blatant LIES from the CIA-fed media. Chuck Schumer's lying has been off the charts so far this week. And ignorant people believe and repeat these lies.

Patterns are starting to clearly emerge that A) Trans rejects are a real danger to themselves and others and should be institutionalized and B) there may indeed be some type of coordinated "cell" amongst these freaks

^Biden who is the worst President, picked the worst VP, worst General, worst Defense Secretary, worst home land secretary, worst FBLie director, worst everything. All his picks did treasonous things.
But Miley did it while Trump was still the President.

After watching these democrat senators hitting RFK JR so hard, it
reminds me of how EVIL they are!

I understand this happens in all of these circuses, on both sides depending on which party is in power, all pretend to ask questions while only shouting their narrative. They are really not after answers, only using their 5-7 minutes platform to try and fool the people they are on our side. So easy to see through.
No offense to the women, but really? They sure can be annoying to listen to...

Wray was left over from Trump 45, James Comey's replacement, and he's in the same boat as Miley.

Why the fuck would anyone want to read the opinion piece of some dipshit like this? It's one thing if you voted for Obama, then Brandon but to still vote for Kamala then decide you are leaving the democrap party? Sorry, you have the mental retardation at this point and have lost all credibility. My proof --- you admitted to it publicly.

Hate to be a Debbie Downer but I just watched RINO's and happy Democrats take over the FL legislature the past 48 hours with no effort by our two RINO DC Senators or any FL Congress critters OR Trump to stop it. A very sad day and rude awakening
Big Ag (Big Sugar) effectively passed a bill to strip Ron DeSantis' authority over Law Enforcement and immigration enforcement and hand those duties over to the Ag Commissioner, who happens to be Pro illegals and has no resources to enforce it.. Why? Big AG needs cheap illegal labor and is paying lip service to the citizens. They even named the bill "Trump Immigration" something to fool the perpetually stupid. Word is Trump's Chief of Staff, who was in bed with Big Ag, helped smooth the way.
Now DeSantis will Veto it, and it remains to be seen if they can override his veto. In the meantime, the Fl Congress voted itself a $50 million dollar raise. This is a heavy Republican super majority
Make no mistake, word obviously went out from the White House to block and hurt DeSantis no matter the cost. They won;t allow him to be a Presidential candidate in 4 years.
"Republican" merely means you lie better.
Corruption at all levels of our government is so pervasive, that I believe in 2 years you'll see Florida go purple

"Finally something resembling an answer to my question, even if it's completely frivolous.
Speaker Perez is arguing that the newly created post of Chief Immigration Officer should be an elected official, rather than someone appointed by the Governor, and since both AG Ashley Moody and CFO Jimmy Patronis are headed to DC, it makes sense to give it to the Agricultural Commissioner.
I cannot emphasize how silly this is. This logic could apply to every single agency head in the state government, the vast majority of whom are appointed by the Governor. There is political accountability for these appointees because the Governor is responsible - and held democratically accountable - for their performance.
Further, there wouldn't be meaningful democratic accountability for the Ag Commissioner, because normal people don't assume that the Ag Commissioner would have anything to do with immigration law. The legislature's proposal would obfuscate the way immigration enforcement functions in the state.
And, of course, none of this answers the obvious conflict of interest problems that are created by making the Ag Commissioner the Chief Immigration Officer, nor does it explain how the Ag Commissioner will be able to efficiently coordinate with the other Florida law enforcement agencies that he does not supervise.
If after 24 hours, this is the best that Perez and his cronies can come up with, it's obvious what the actual game is here. Perez and his cronies are lashing out at Governor DeSantis, thinking they can screw with him because he's termed out in 2026. But if they managed to succeed with their proposal, the damage they do would be with us well into the future, as future Florida Governors find they lack any authority to enforce state immigration law or coordinate with federal law enforcement."
If this is the "logic" then shouldn't the post go to James Uthmeier, our Attorney General? Isn't he Florida's top law enforcement officer and the person invested in carrying out Florida's laws?
Of course, this isn't about law enforcement, quite the opposite.
Exactly. If you were going to choose an official who wasn't the Governor and who will be up for election, the AG would make sense. But of course, that's not the real reason - Uthmeier is a DeSantis ally, and they are trying to hurt the Governor, whatever the consequences
