Not voting doesn't change anything.

SCOTUS?

Yes I'm differentiating between just any federal judge and SCOTUS.

You do know that in order for a case to reach SCOTUS there have to be rulings made in lower courts, right? And if it’s a federal claim it starts in a United States District Court. SCOTUS is an appellate court. It reviews cases. Cases don’t originate there.

Cannon didn’t have jurisdiction over Garland because that case wasn’t before her. If a case involving the president or his administration is properly before a district judge, he or she clearly has jurisdiction over him.

Ok. So, if we're talking about matters related to use of federal funding, which I'm assuming is what is in question here, which district judge would have jurisdiction over the Executive branch? DC?

It goes through lower courts. So, I guess the question is whether courts below SCOTUS have jurisdiction over the executive branch. Would a district judge? Probably not, IMO. A circuit court judge...maybe?

The answers to your questions in that post are incorrect.

Depends on the funding. Most federal funding impacts every corner of the country, so any district judge could have jurisdiction over a challenge, as long as the plaintiff has standing.
 
I’m not sure where to put this but I found it amusing:


Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is bringing the name Bragg back to one of the Army’s largest bases, Fort Liberty, which replaced the namesake of a Confederate general in 2023.

But in a memorandum signed Monday, Hegseth instructed the Army to rename the North Carolina military installation in honor of a different Bragg: Pfc. Roland L. Bragg, a World War II veteran who was awarded the Silver Star and Purple Heart for extraordinary bravery during the Battle of the Bulge, according to a statement from Pentagon press secretary John Ullyot

Bringing to light? The administration was instructed to do that by Congress. How much more public can you get than federal legislation?

It would be virtually impossible for any one person to have a complete understanding of every federal expenditure. Projects like this one bring things to light that probably 99% of Americans would never know about.

It also brings to light just how loosely our representatives handle taxpayer money.

Europe Vows to Respond to Trump’s Tariffs, but Holds Back on Details

European leaders have said that they will respond firmly to higher levies on steel and aluminum, but they have yet to say what that retaliation will look like.

“
European leaders vowed on Tuesday to retaliate after President Trump raised tariffs on aluminum and steel to 25 percent, even as they held out hope that they would be able to negotiate a deal with the United States.

European Union officials have argued that Europe and the United States are deeply intertwined and that igniting a trade war would hurt both sides. But they have also been quietly preparing to hit back against possible U.S. tariffs, and have said they are ready to enact countermeasures if no trade solution can be found.

“Unjustified tariffs on the E.U. will not go unanswered — they will trigger firm and proportionate countermeasures,” Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, the European Union’s executive arm, said in a statement. …”
