Question: If the judiciary permanently strikes down the $1.776B fund (and the administration complies), does that mean constitutional guardrails held? Or if the administration were to openly defy a court order (and distribute money anyway), is that when we'd enter a distinct constitutional crisis?

State investigators have been on the scene in North Minneapolis. I know you’re angry. I’m angry. What Donald Trump wants is violence in the streets. But Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace. Don’t give him what he wants.

Why did they NOT do this before - regarding getting congressional approval - to avoid agencies being shuttered? Or how can previously approved funding just STOP without congressional oversight? We're in a constitutional crisis, but denialism reigns. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Senate votes to limit Trump on Venezuela
The procedural vote is a rare critique of Trump’s authority in the first test of GOP loyalty since last weekend’s capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
