He is not defying the Democrats. He is defying the US Congress, aka the people. A president cannot legally or constitutionally spend money however he wishes to. Congress appropriated the funding. Previous presidents signed those appropriations into law. Trump is lawless. That's the story here.

DOJ seizes on Utah ballot dumping case to attack USPS court rulings, push Trump’s anti-voting agenda
It's unclear how exactly the proposed USPS rules would have prevented the conduct alleged in Utah. The ballots had already entered the Postal Service system when the employee allegedly set them aside ...

We & the media are NOT talking enough about how a Florida grand jury found that $10 million was funneled from a settlement intended to benefit Florida taxpayers to Ron DeSantis’s wife’s illegitimate “charity” (that never registered with the IRS), where it was laundered before it got to the FLA GOP.

Remembering how during the Claudine Gay scandal, one of its biggest promoters of the story was Bill Ackman. Then someone uncovered that Ackman's own wife was a professor alleged to have committed much more serious academic misconduct than Gay and then nothing happened to her.

stuff like this is why one important avenue for court reform is just nixing the shadow docket altogether and forcing these people to explain themselves to the public when they issue orders. also, making their records property of the united states and subject to publication when they leave the bench.

When Lindsey Graham appears in a history book, it'll be his prediction in 2016 that the Republican Party would be destroyed for supporting Donald Trump and then a few lines about how he proved it by becoming Trump's toady. That's pretty much it. That's his legacy. Pathetic lickspittle.
