US judge blocks Trump administration from overhauling federal elections

Reuters said:
A federal judge on Friday blocked President Donald Trump's administration from implementing parts of his sweeping executive order overhauling federal elections, including by requiring proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote and barring states from counting mail-in ballots received after Election Day.

U.S. District Judge Denise Casper in Boston issued a preliminary injunction at the behest of 19 Democratic-led states who had argued that the Republican president lacked the authority to mandate changes to elections and the states' voting procedures.

Republican-Appointed Judge Hands Donald Trump a Legal Blow

Newsweek said:
federal judge in Massachusetts, William Young, has ruled that the Trump administration's decision to cut National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants—allegedly in response to executive orders targeting gender identity and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies—was "illegal" and "void."

In his ruling, Judge Young, a Ronald Reagan appointee, said he was reinstating grants that had been awarded to the organizations and Democratic-led states that had sued over the terminations, Reuters reported.

Don Jr blatantly lies about Vance Boelter: "I have a feeling that leftist Tim Walz isn't exactly appointing conservatives. Apparently he had the No Kings flyer in his thing. But he went after someone that didn't just blindly follow Democrat, radical leftist dogma."

Eric Trump: "I'll take my kids trick or treating, I'll take them out to a little birthday party and you'll have kids wearing MAGA hats, alright? It's cool again to be involved in politics. Nobody wanted to be involved in politics under Obama or Bush ... he brought up un-PC issues that nobody wanted to talk about."

I've seen the following comment on Bluesky several times:
My whole political stance pretty much boils down to “I care about other people and the planet”’ and wow does that make some people mad.

Nature or nurture? I often wonder what Don Jr. and Eric would be like today if they had been brought up in a more loving household that valued other people and the environment.

As of the close of the day on June 16, my positive/negative score on the Trump administration stands at -829.

I scored "No Kings Day" as -2 because the huge turnout shows the massive amount of dissatisfaction at the administration.

16 June 2025
-1: Trump doesn’t understand Russia was kicked out of the G8 for *starting* a war. [310]
-1: Headline: Trump is Refusing to Foot the Bill for the National Guard Soldiers He Sent to L.A. (New Republic)
-1: Headline: Republican-Appointed Judge Hands Donald Trump a Legal Blow (Newsweek)
-1: Headline: US judge blocks Trump administration from overhauling federal elections (Reuters)

Reference:

310. Trump: “The G7 used to be the G8. Barack Obama and a person named Trudeau didn’t want to have Russia in, and I would say that was a mistake, because I think you wouldn’t have a war right now if you had Russia in.”


15 June 2025
-2: US Senator Mike Lee blames “Marxists” for the politically-motivated murders in Minnesota [309]
-1: Headline: Undeterred by protests, Trump calls on ICE to expand deportations in Democratic-run cities (CBC)
-1: Trump: “We have our trade deals. All we have to do is send a letter and tell them how much they have to pay.”

Reference:

309. Mike Lee: “Marxism is a deadly mental illness. This is what happens when Marxists don’t get their way.”


14 June 2025
-2: As many as 11 million people take to the streets in the US in thousands of “No Kings Day” protests
0: Minnesota state Senator Melissa Hortman and her husband are murdered (0: it’s not directly linked to the Trump admin)
-1: Trump spends upwards of $40 million on a military parade that fizzled

Tired of attending national security briefings then immediately having to repeat everything point by point to your authoritarian dictator paymasters? With TrumpPhone your secrets are autocratically, sorry, automatically recorded, transmitted, transcribed and relayed to the foreign power where they can do the most good. For us and our foreign held debts, anyway.

This leaves you with more time for the things that matter, golf, paying off pornstars, golf, and qualitity family time with Eric... Just kidding about that last one, golf.

Do you think they'll pick up my marketing plan?

Ooh, as an atmospheric scientist one of my biggest pet peeves, the inability of some (and of course Trump) to completely not understand the difference between climate and weather (and thus climate and weather prediction). Also, as I pointed out in a post yesterday, it *did* rain last night in DC, just not during the parade.

The fecker brought forward the perade a number of hours to avoid the rain. And anyway, wasn't his prunciamento before the event that it is good luck to have a rainy perade?

I can't cringe any harder without injuring myself.

What the hell have you done, America? You've handed power to a delusional narcissist who believes his own lies and is surrounded by manipulative yes-men. No, of course your elections are not being stolen by illegal aliens. It's completely stupid. How the hell did America become a place where the president can just make up lies like this and get away with it?

It was ever thus. They just got lucky that they never had somebody as openly and malevolently incompetent before.

I'm afraid to break it to Adams, but he'll still go to the gas chamber when the time comes. The modern day Chaim Rumkowski.
 
He's completely mad!

@realDonaldTrump
Publicity seeking President Emmanuel Macron, of France, mistakenly said that I left the G7 Summit, in Canada, to go back to D.C. to work on a "cease fire" between Israel and Iran. Wrong! He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire. Much bigger than that. Whether purposely or not, Emmanuel always gets it wrong. Stay Tuned!
