In a filing ~45 mins after the deadline had passed, #DOJ lawyers wrote:

“In light of the insufficient amount of time afforded to review the Supreme Court’s Order following the dissolution of the administrative stay in this case, Defendants are not in a position where they 'can’ share any information requested by the Court. That is the reality.”

This is another escalation of the #Trump admin’s refusal to acknowledge the #equal #power of the #JudicialBranch.

The flights suggest the #Trump admin may be growing more brazen in its defiance of judicial restraint. The #US #Constitution established the #judiciary as a co-#equal & #independent branch of government.

Trump has sought to *push* [illegally expand] the boundaries of #ExecutivePower since taking office in Jan, cutting spending authorized by #Congress, dismantling #FederalAgencies & firing tens of thousands of #FederalWorkers.

#Trump has also tried to remove more than a dozen #InspectorsGeneral, as well as members of the National #Labor Relations Board [#NLRB] & the #Equal Employment Opportunity Commission [#EEOC]. Many of the ousted ofcls are contesting their removals in court.

In addition to fighting his own ouster, Dellinger has been arguing that the admin’s #MassFirings of probationary #FederalWorkers is illegal.

In the coming weeks, the docs show, #DOGE has planned for the #Trump admin to trim staff from dozens of offices across the executive branch, including those that protect employees’ #CivilRights & others that investigate complaints of employment #discrimination in the federal workplace. Among the groups targeted are a #VeteransAffairs office that works to ensure all #veterans receive #equal #access to care & an office within #HHS that provides info about the #health of minority populations.

In a pivotal #transgender #healthcare #case, the #Corrupt #US #SupremeCourt will decide how far #equalprotection extends, potentially determining if #equalrights apply to all or only to those deemed '#acceptable' by those in #power.

As #GeorgeOrwell wrote in #AnimalFarm, 'All #animals are #equal, but some #animals are #moreequal than others.' Will #TransRights be #upheld or will #Trans #people be relegated to #secondclass #status?

How #Trump #rolled #ElonMusk

Musk tried to meet Trump as an #equal. He came away as just another #lapdog.

No one has torched their #PublicImage in service of #DonaldTrump like #ElonMusk has.

“#Scandals involving several justices have caused the public to question the court’s #fairness & #independence, which are essential to faithfully carrying out its mission of #equal #justice under the #law. For example, undisclosed #gifts to justices from individuals with interests in cases before the court, as well as #ConflictsOfInterest connected with #Jan6 #insurrectionists, raise legitimate questions about the court’s #impartiality.

Another day I'll pass on - so many great people doing great things that pop up here and there - how great to have a creative community that doesn't appear to be at war with itself #united #equal #army

( I say this in relation to my local community where there are people who assume they are better than others, and cannot co-exist happily)

"Galloway went on to say he wants to #teach his #children that #LGBTQ+ #people #exist and “must be treated with #respect… but I don’t want my children to be #taught that these things (their relationships) are #equal because I don’t believe them to be equal”."
