A federal judge says despite his previous order to Kari Lake/USAGM he’s “still unable to get a clear picture of how VOA is operating or how the agency plans to operate VOA moving forward.” He gives them 10 days to provide more information.
@w7voa The endless extensions of time to provide 'more information', respective to every #trump action against government agencies and employees, has not served the interest of democracy. Each time the #court kicks the can down the road again the window to impede illegal action lessens. And #SCOTUS will quickly provide 'relief' to #trump #doj et al & grant blanket permission to proceed full speed ahead via #shadowdocket. The courts will not cannot protect #democracy #constitution #garland failed
@bespacific Trump action against government agencies? No that's not how the federal government in the US is set up.
For better or worse, the executive power is vested in the president, so to say he's acting against government agencies doesn't really make any sense.
If Trump is doing a bad job, then hopefully the people that we elected to provide him funding through the legislative branch will cut the funding. Or impeach him. And if they don't, we need to stop reelecting the same jerks who fail us.
THAT is the solution provided for a president doing a bad job, not complaining that he's not paradoxically doing what he doesn't want to do because he wants to do what he doesn't want to do or something like that.
By definition Trump cannot act against agencies since executive branch agencies exist as an extension of himself in the US system of government.
