Insane
The #Trump admin filed a lawsuit against ALL 15 #FederalJudges in #Maryland over a #CourtOrder blocking the immediate #deportation of #immigrants challenging their removals, ratcheting up a fight w/the federal #judiciary over #Trump’s #ExecutivePower.
The remarkable action lays bare the admin’s determination to exert its will over #immigration enforcement as well as its exasperation w/ [the #law] judges who have blocked #lawless #ExecutiveBranch actions.

#RussVought has spearheaded the admin’s campaign to assert sweeping #ExecutivePower over #spending, arguing that the Impoundment Control Act, the #law at issue now, is *unconstitutional*.
The #Trump admin has *justified* its cost-cutting measures by pointing out that the #US is $36 trillion in debt, although the type of #funding that ofcls have targeted represents a small fraction of the overall #budget.
[& Trump’s budget outline is projected to increase the debt by trillions more]
An analysis by AP shows that 30 of #Trump’s 150 #ExecutiveOrders have cited some kind of #EmergencyPower or authority, a rate that far outpaces his recent predecessors.
The result is a redefinition of how presidents can wield #power. Instead of responding to an unforeseen crisis, Trump is using #EmergencyPowers to supplant #Congress’ authority & advance his agenda.
Call it the 911 presidency.
Despite insisting that the #US is rebounding from calamity under his watch, #Trump is harnessing #EmergencyPowers unlike any of his predecessors.
Whether it’s leveling punishing #tariffs, deploying #troops to the #border or sidelining #EnvironmentalRegulations, Trump has relied on rules & laws intended only for use in extraordinary circumstances like #war & #invasion.

Judge Burroughs acted hours after #Harvard asked her to block the order on Thurs evening. In its request, part of an ongoing lawsuit, the #university also filed a new claim against the #Trump admin.
In court papers, Harvard accused the admin of trying to circumvent an earlier #CourtOrder that had blocked #DHS from banning international enrollment at Harvard. The university said Trump had violated the #law again by invoking his #ExecutivePower against the school when the agency’s efforts failed.
The proclamation blocked Thurs was issued just the day before. It was the 3rd time in a month that the #Trump admin has tried to use its power to ban #InternationalStudents at #Harvard in what the #university has said is a violation of its #FirstAmendment rights. But it was the 1st time Trump relied on #ExecutivePower rather than agency rules & actions, a sign of how personal the effort to inflict distress on the university has become for him.
It’s the #LibraryOfCongress.
But #Trump claims it’s his.
Trump’s new target in his campaign to expand #ExecutivePower: the Library of Congress. Never mind the name—admin attys are now arguing the main #research #library of the #legislative branch doesn’t belong to #Congress at all.
A #legal push to claim the Library as executive turf isn’t a one-off. It’s the latest move in a broader effort by Trump…to erase the…lines that separate the branches of govt.

President #Trump’s expansive use of #executivepower faced at least 328 #lawsuits as of May 1 — with judges halting his policies far more often than they allowed them.
Courts entered more than 200 orders stopping the administration’s actions in 128 cases. The court battles are testing the balance of power at the heart of #American democracy. Trump supporters have attacked judges as biased, and his administration has been accused of failing to fully comply with orders

#SCOTUS gestured in this direction in a footnote to a 2020 ruling that suggested that the #Fed may be able to "claim a special historical status" entitling it to a greater degree of distance from presidential control than other #independent agencies
Other legal grounds have been offered for why the Fed should be more insulated from presidential control, including an argument by some conservative judges & advocates that the central bank does not wield substantial #ExecutivePower.
#OPM's new rule—dubbed "Schedule Policy/Career"—will allow many career #CivilServants to be classified as "#AtWill" employees, making them easier to remove.
#Trump aides argue they need greater flexibility to fire civil servants who are *underperforming*, engaging in *misconduct* or *undermining* Trump's policy plans.
