Has Trump’s agenda stalled?
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


Welcome to The Logoff. Today I’m focusing on the Trump administration’s string of court setbacks, which, for now, seem to be slowing down what once looked like a MAGA juggernaut.

What’s the latest? Several court rulings this week have stalled the Trump administration’s efforts to expand the president’s power. Those include:

Does this mean all these initiatives are dead? Not at all. Nearly all of these orders are judges saying “hold on a minute,” telling the Trump administration to wait to go through with its plans while the courts decide if they’re legal. And in nearly all of the cases, the Trump administration is asking higher courts to let them go forward during the judicial deliberations.

So why does just a freeze matter? Because the administration has shown the ability to take irreparable actions while the courts deliberate. Take the US Agency for International Development (USAID), which Trump’s team effectively dismantled during their first week. Courts have since put some of those actions on hold, but even if the agency survives, it’ll have suffered longstanding damage. Now, as the administration tries to repeat that process elsewhere in government, these judicial pauses are making the process far more difficult.

What’s the big picture? For weeks, it appeared the Trump administration was unstoppable, particularly as it took power that the Constitution reserves for Congress. But now the judicial branch is asserting itself, demanding the right to review many of Trump’s actions before they take full effect.

What if Trump simply ignores the courts? Simply put, we don’t know, because there’s very little precedent in US history. What we do know is that it would trigger a constitutional crisis whose resolution could redefine our system of government.

And with that, it’s time to log off …

A looming constitutional crisis is not a particularly comforting note to end on. So I want to point you all to this great Mashable story of two people finding each other and falling in love. Without further ado, here’s “How one tweet led me to meet my partner.”
