Thursday's preliminary injunction is the second by a federal court blocking the spending freeze. The order marks a victory for Democratic attorneys general from 22 states and the District of Columbia, who filed suit against the Trump administration over its efforts to pause trillions of dollars in government spending in order to evaluate whether those programs aligned with President Trump's policy goals.

In his ruling, U.S. District Judge John McConnell Jr. said the spending freeze "fundamentally undermines the distinct constitutional roles of each branch of our government."

Part of me wants Trump and Musk's corruption and incompetence to put the USA on the fast lane towards annihilation to see if it shakes the people into action against this dystopic nightmare of an economic/political system.

But the part of me that recognizes all the human suffering that such a scenario would entail in the short term says "thank the Gods old and new for checks and balances!"
