A federal judge just ruled that President Trump does have the authority to freeze and/or limit federal funding. This is a huge win for Trump and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Federal judge John McConnell ruled on Wednesday that the executive branch under President Donald Trump retains authority to pause federal spending as long as it complies with existing statutes and regulations.
The judge went on to say “The [court’s previous order] does not bar both the President and much of the Federal Government from exercising their own lawful authorities to withhold funding,” McConnell wrote.
Numerous reports coming out of Washington DC say "Democrats are freaking out. Their cash cow is being slaughtered."
Asked how she feels about the slew of Temporary Restraining Orders being issued by courts, and now being lifted, Attorney General Pam Bondi said "We have so many unelected judges who are trying to control government spending and there is a clear separation of powers. At DOJ, we are prepared to defend all of these cases. we will carry out Trump's agenda."
