These judges are tyrants who want to control every aspect of the Executive branch though there is a separation of powers in the Constitution.

Glad to see these arrogant black robe sons of bitches getting shut down. It is about time these bastards are put in the place smile
"You know nothing and you have zero idea whether those contractors are owed Jack shit."

That's right you know nothing:


"Contractors owed hundreds of millions of dollars by USAID are warning they may have to shut down and risk lawsuits across the developing world, with one large firm even saying US banks won’t lend it more money over concerns the US government won’t honor its funding commitments."

"The allegations, which include threats of physical harm to overseas employees over unpaid debts, were made in new court filings Monday regarding one of several cases intended to undo the Trump administration’s 90-day freeze on foreign aid funding and work, which has thrown the global aid sector into turmoil."

"The case is part of the legal backlash to the administration’s broader assault on the federal government workforce, which has had a particularly pronounced impact on the United States Agency for International Development and its so-called implementing partners."

"The agency owed at least $500 million to contractors as of early February,..."

Prove that they are owed millions. 

Show me the numbers and the invoices.  Because some news outlet or some contractors say so, is meaningless.  

YOU owe me $500.  When am I going to get paid?
These are contracted services, team supporter of the Trump "JD" Putin-commie, the key word being "contracted." Show me the evidence that their contracts and the bills they've submitted for payment are fraudulent.

It's kinda like this:   "Trump on calling Zelensky a dictator: ‘Did I say that?"

"When asked by a reporter whether he still believed Zelensky was a dictator, Trump responded: “Did I say that? I can’t believe I said that. Next question.”

"Judge finds mass firings of federal probationary workers were likely unlawful"

"A federal judge in San Francisco on Thursday found that the mass firings of probationary employees were likely unlawful, granting temporary relief to a coalition of labor unions and organizations that has sued to stop the Trump administration’s massive dismantling of the federal workforce."

"U.S. District Judge William Alsup ordered the Office of Personnel Management to inform certain federal agencies that it had no authority to order the firings of probationary employees, including at the Department of Defense."

“OPM does not have any authority whatsoever, under any statute in the history of the universe,” to hire or fire any employees but its own, Alsup said."

Well, he obviously hasn't heard of John Roberts...

I'm still waiting.
Anyone who reads the threads on this forum knows who the liar is and it's not me.  

Specific to contracts:  "The new administration terminated contracts without the required 30-day notice and without back payments for work that was already done, according to a U.S. official, a businessperson with a USAID contract and an email seen by The Associated Press."

You simply read their lies and regurgitate them here.  

They can take the gov't to court and then let the courts go through the process,  

It was good enough for the leftist Democrats to take him to court over false charges, ignoring statutes of limitations that had expired 7 years prior to charges being brought agianst him, so then I'm happy to watch these corrupt NGOs and government contractors have to prove they did any work that needs to be paid for by taxpayers. 

Show me a contract.
Show us the evidence that "DOGE" has uncovered fraud and waste and abuse and other than ELON, who are their members, other than the guy who goes by the name, "Big Balls"?  Then, explain how it is that ELON'S billions of US Government contracts are all perfect and have no evidence of fraud, waste or abuse.

We're waiting....

"Head of federal watchdog agency fired by Trump should remain on the job, judge rules"

"The head of a federal watchdog agency must remain in his job, a judge in Washington ruled on Saturday, saying President Donald Trump’s bid to remove the special counsel was unlawful."

"U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson sided with Hampton Dellinger, who leads the Office of Special Counsel, in a legal battle over the president’s authority to oust the head of the independent agency that’s likely headed back to the U.S. Supreme Court."


"Jackson rejected the Trump administration’s claims that the special counsel’s removal protections are unconstitutional because they prevent the president from rightfully installing his preferred agency head."

"The judge said allowing the president to remove the special counsel at will would have a chilling effect on his crucial duties, which include guarding the federal workforce from illegal personnel actions, such as retaliation for whistleblowing."

Sound reasoning from the judge but not to worry, the Roberts court of cons will upend that right quick...

I guess it is the latter since your middle name is failure due to the fact that you do it so much.  smile
Talk about BS from Trump/Musk? Maybe we should as the musketeer who cancelled this contract about it? Maybe it was the musketter who goes by the name "Big Balls":


"The owner of a plant in Georgia that makes a special peanut butter paste for severely malnourished children told CNN on Sunday he has yet to hear from the federal government about his company’s canceled contracts with the US Agency for International Development, hours after Elon Musk said on social media he would “investigate” and “fix it.”

“We will investigate whether this is real or not and fix it if it is,” Musk wrote on X on Sunday, in response to CNN’s reporting last week about the plant’s canceled contracts with USAID."

"Mark Moore, the owner of Fitzgerald, Georgia-based MANA Nutrition, told CNN last week that his contracts with USAID were abruptly canceled."

"Moore said as of Sunday afternoon, he had heard only unofficial rumblings that the contracts with MANA may be restored."

"Some background: MANA Nutrition makes a special kind of peanut butter paste that is fortified with milk and essential vitamins, packed with calories and sent to severely malnourished children around the world, including some countries in Africa."

Source: CNN

Maybe Rich Davis doesn't think Mark Moore is a real person with a real contract since he doesn't know or have access to either?

I guess every one of those children will DIE without the special peanut butter paste won't they?

Or maybe not.  I'm thinking that there is other food there.  

And precisely how much are these "contracts" worth?   

Please let us all know.

This is obviously a tragedy of MASSIVE proportions.  shocked

As "justice Alito" stated, "I am stunned!"

The answer to that question should be an emphatic ‘No,’ but a majority of this Court apparently thinks otherwise. I am stunned,” Alito wrote, joined by the three others."

Yeah, the nerve of that single judge and his audacity to believe that he could even think he had the legal expertise, let alone the legal authority, to compel the Trump administration to honor the contractual obligations of monies designated by congress for its stipulated purposes...
