The Heritage Foundation told its donors this week that 53% of Project 2025 is now federal policy — and asked for money to finish the job. The fundraising email is not a boast. It is a receipt.
The Trump administration told a federal court it is still considering a 'partial closure' of the Kennedy Center — despite a ruling requiring it to stay open. The filing is less a legal argument than a stress test on judicial authority.
The administration is using emergency wartime authority to send $700 million to coal plants already on the industry's closure lists. The law was never designed for this — and that's precisely why it was chosen.
The Office of Personnel Management wants every federal worker to sign an NDA. The proposal wouldn't stop espionage — it would silence the 2.2 million employees who are the public's last line of sight into how government power is actually used.
Bill Pulte ran a housing agency and gave away money on Twitter. He has no intelligence background. He's been nominated to lead all 18 U.S. intelligence agencies — and even GOP senators are struggling to defend it.
A federal judge ruled Friday that only Congress can rename the Kennedy Center, halting both the renaming and a planned closure. The 94-page decision is a precise legal rebuke of an administration that has repeatedly treated statutory boundaries as advisory.

A Guardian US analysis documents what critics call a deliberate pattern: the Trump administration is not contesting court orders through legal channels — it is simply ignoring them. The people paying the price are sitting in detention facilities, waiting for bond hearings a federal judge already ord
Pete Hegseth told Congress the White House doesn't need war authorization for Iran. What he described is the effective abolition of Article I's war powers clause — stated plainly, in a congressional hearing, with no apparent consequence.
The Trump administration's move to reclassify marijuana as Schedule III is real policy — but it frees no one, reviews no sentence, and arrives precisely when the administration needs a news cycle that looks like reform without requiring any of its difficult work.
Trump admits he won't call Iran a 'war' because Congress would need to approve it — exposing how executive power has rendered constitutional checks meaningless.
Peter Ticktin, an 80-year-old Florida lawyer with Trump's ear, is pushing an emergency executive order to ban all voting machines and mail ballots — a plan that would disenfranchise millions and that legal experts say exceeds any president's constitutional authority.
Trump's 2 AM declaration of 'absolute right' to override the Supreme Court on tariffs reveals his blueprint for undermining judicial independence ahead of the 2028 election.
