DOGE v. The Constitution
🔴 UPDATE: February 25, 2025
Federal Judge Blocks Trump’s OMB Funding Freeze, Declares It a Violation of Congressional Authority
In a major legal blow to DOGE’s power grab, U.S. District Judge Loren L. AliKhan has issued a preliminary injunction blocking the Trump administration’s attempt to freeze trillions in federal funds through the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The court ruled that the funding freeze directly violates Article I of the Constitution, as only Congress has the authority to appropriate and control federal spending.
🚨 Key Developments:
Trump’s OMB Funding Freeze Blocked – The administration attempted to pause up to $3 trillion in federal grants and loans, citing a "policy review" under new executive orders. The court rejected this justification, stating:
"The public’s interest in not having trillions of dollars arbitrarily frozen cannot be overstated."
Judge Affirms Congress’s Article I Power of the Purse – The ruling reinforces that the executive branch cannot override Congress’s spending decisions, setting a crucial precedent against DOGE’s financial overreach.
Broad Impact Across Government – The freeze affected a wide range of agencies and programs, including education, scientific research, infrastructure, and foreign aid, creating widespread disruption before the injunction was issued.
🔍 Consequences:
Major Setback for DOGE’s Executive Overreach – The ruling directly limits DOGE’s ability to manipulate federal funding to undermine government programs.
Congressional Democrats Sound the Alarm, GOP Remains Silent – While Democratic lawmakers have condemned the funding freeze as an unconstitutional abuse of power, Republicans in Congress have largely remained silent, failing to meaningfully push back against DOGE’s escalating executive overreach.
Legal Battles Expected to Continue – The Justice Department is expected to appeal, with the administration likely seeking alternative strategies to restrict government funding through DOGE’s financial controls.

Join the Fight, Amplify the Truth
Because silence is surrender. We never surrender. We are #TheRelentless.
I am so sickened by the Rs in the House & Senate’s failure to uphold their obligations to the people and our Constitution. Every single one of them are traitors to their country because they have enabled this siege of our country to fascism. And the damndest thing is FOTUS will never be loyal to them. They sold their soul and they will get nothing in return.
