Last week’s federal court decision forbidding the Trump administration from punishing the AP for refusing to rename the Gulf of Mexico was to take effect Monday. The administration is appealing the decision and arguing with the news outlet over whether it needs to change anything until those appeals are exhausted.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. circuit set a Thursday hearing on Trump’s request that any changes be delayed while case is reviewed. The AP is fighting for more access as soon as possible.
Nobody in this administration should ever use the word ‘constitution’ in any context other than when playing D&D.
Like they’d be cool enough
Or when taking a shit, ie: daily constitutional.
And for the fifth time this month, we stress test democracy!
If there is no push back, I’d say it’s broken and we’re not testing anymore.
Whether they are appealing or not, this sounds like the administration is breaking the law. The ruling to allow AP doesn’t stop taking effect if an appeal is in process.
The Trump Administration keeps abusing that. They appeal something, and just do whatever they want until the appeal is processed.

Petty little man. So what good is a court if nothing is ever enforced?
If the administration can ignore the courts, I guess everyone can now ignore the courts.
I think we all know that’s not how this works.
It absolutely works that way if you think like a North Irishman. Before they lost their balls, that is.
But someone might get hurt!
That’s how you get tased and thrown into a cage 🤷
Silly Americans are so new at this.
No, you see that’s when they announce martial law and roll out the ol’ Death Squads (they’ll have a patriotic name) to enforce the “new order” on the populace.
Americans gonna be shouting “Wait, this is illegal!”
Yet more evidence that it doesn’t actually matter in the eyes of the Trump administration what the law says, or what a judge says, if there is nothing behind it to physically make them follow it or face actual consequences.
Yet more evidence that Americans can’t identify threats with even a shred of accuracy.
Like, when we were all saying “He’s gonna be a dictator!” and he was all like “I’m gonna be a dictator!” and then he gets into office and starts doing a dictatorship suddenly everyone is 😮
Most aren’t even shocked. They could care less.
A convicted felon is defying court orders and nothing happens. Fuck yeah merica! 🦅🦅🏳️🌈
Why is this shocking to anyone and why isn’t anyone doing anything to stop it? Lots of talk. Zero action.
The media and the Democrats, and probably many Americans, still seem to think that if you keep pointing out how things are wrong, illegal, and against the rules, sooner or later a system will kick in to stop them. They haven’t yet adjusted to the reality of a fascist government. There is no longer freedom of speech or rule of law in the USA. There are no longer human rights. Your life can be ruined at any moment on the whim of the leader or his enforcers.
Too true, flooffloof.
And America wonders why Canadians are staying home in our safe democratically-run nation.
Poilievre just got a bump in the polls right when he said he would do the exact same thing in Canada, deporting people who speak up for Palestine. It’s a really critical moment for Canada, and crucial that everyone vote, and get their friends to vote, to keep this man away from power.
For now, as long as we all vote ABC…
Just like the rest of the world we are certainly not immune and probably as close as we have ever been to having a pro fascism PM in charge.
Courts need to look into getting some paramilitary deputies to do their enforcements. Slippery slope, I know, but without enforcement they’re just yelling at a bowl of rancid jello
All this is doing is making me want to subscribe to their news site even more. The White House doesn’t realize the effect they’re having. Everytime they disparage something, that is a sign that the thing they hate is good, not bad, and probably helpful.
So you’ll be taking trump to task now AP, and not just running soft interference for him, working on normalizing him and supporting all his fascist enablers?
Yeah, didn’t think so. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out AP.
