The federal judge ordered the government to reinstate U.S. Agency for International Development systems, saying DOGE likely violated the constitution in multiple ways.

Summary

A federal judge ruled the shutdown of USAID by Elon Musk’s DOGE “likely violated the Constitution” and ordered system access restored.

The judge required DOGE to reinstate email, payment, and security systems within seven days, and prevented further actions without USAID authorization.

Musk, appointed by Trump to lead DOGE, had rapidly shut down USAID operations, stranding employees abroad and terminating humanitarian projects.

Former officials warned the shutdown would cause “preventable death” and damage America’s global standing, allowing China and Russia to fill the void.

    Well did they violate it or not? Anything short of an absolute “You violated this law” is seen as “no”. That’s why they keep getting away with shit is because of fucking weasel wording that gives any sort of wiggle room. You give an inch, they take a mile.

    Be fucking absolute in your rulings. Either they violated or they didn’t. PICK one.
