Trump defiance of court orders

NYT: Trump secretly deported 9 migrants despite court orders to not remove them to their home nations. So, he sent them to prison in Cameroon: http://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/14/w…

Rep. Kennedy: "Do you believe your agency has a legal obligation to follow court orders?"ICE Director Lyons: "Yes."Rep. Kennedy: "You have a very strange way of showing it, with a federal judge finding that your agency is in violation of 96 orders in one month alone."

NEW: DOJ told a judge in New Jersey that it had violated court orders about 54 times between Dec. 5 and this week — the latest accounting of a phenomenon that used to be rare and is now rampant. http://www.politico.com/news/2026/02…

“Trump hasn’t defied a single court order” is a wild thing to say

IMPORTANT: It appears there’s a chance that the Trump-Vance White House is going to defy a federal court order to allow Pope Leo’s top ally Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich and Catholic clergy to enter the facility for Ash Wednesday Mass. This would be a historic confrontation between Trump and Leo.

Trump is trying to add to friendly media

Trump-friendly media is already dominant.

Huge scoop from @jonathanalter.bsky.social on the Trump administration's work behind the scenes to kill a Netflix-Warner Bros. merger and help Paramount win instead. The intended result: a Trump-friendly conglomerate that's basically state-owned media.washingtonmonthly.com/2026/02/17/t…

More posts on Trump’s bad actions on Social Security

This is terrible. He has done permanent damage to SSA’s reputation and public trust of the agency.

The training issue is very concerning.. I worked in an SSA field office for almost five years between 1976-1981. It takes a couple of years to really feel knowledgeable about the procedures.

7/ Whistleblower alleges that an SSA “database called the Numident, which is the master database of ur personal info, was uploaded to an AWS cloud environment.” [Numident’s data is now allegedly linked to the Save System to facilitate voter purges. This is a centerpiece of the Save America Act]

Social Security is a very successful, very popular program. Its financing challenges are real, but can be managed with common-sense changes. It emphatically does NOT need a radical restructuring, as several new proposals suggest.More from Wendell Primus et al:www.brookings.edu/articles/ins…

Another ICE lie

Questionable? Outright wrong? Can’t you say they lied?

When an immigration agent shot a man in the leg last month in Minnesota, the Trump administration rushed to sell a version of events that demonized the wounded man. It was the latest instance of the U.S. government providing an account of a shooting that later proved questionable or outright wrong.

They will cause permanent damage to the US and the planet.
