Summary

Judge Tanya Chutkan, who presided over Donald Trump’s election interference case, has been assigned a major lawsuit challenging Elon Musk’s authority in the federal government.

The suit, filed by 14 states, claims Musk wields unprecedented executive power, including control over federal funds and agencies.

Chutkan, a frequent Trump critic, previously imposed a gag order on him.

While Trump and Musk have yet to comment, right-wing figures are already attacking Chutkan, signaling an upcoming political and legal battle over executive power.

    While seeing Judge Tanya Chutkan get this case could be a good sign. Her ruling, if negative to Trump, will probably see the end of her career. The more interesting thing will be if this gets appealed to the Supreme Court. Their ruling will determine how much power the courts have going forward to actually rein in presdients.

    LOL, the pampered diaper donvict? When was his life ever “hell”?

    He should be rotting away in prison, instead, he continues unbothered and unscathed and is now king of the world.

        Nothing positive is happening until it happens, we have yet to see Trump comply with a judicial ruling (let alone an emergency injunction). And it’ll get argued up to the SCOTUS before he’d even theoretically stop.

        Don’t fall for Lucy pulling the football for the 9th year in a row. Plan and act as if he’s not facing any consequences within the limits of our government, because his record shows he won’t.

    Can we also sue Musk and Trump for their bullshit if we don’t live in the US? Fuckers like that are destroying more than just the US
