Breaking News: Trump Administration COMPLIES With Federal Court Order! - Glenn Kirschner



Given that the Trump Administration has been involved in resisting, if not outright defying, federal court orders early and often, it may come as a surprise that they just complied with a court order requiring them to comply with a federal law designed to promote transparency in how Trump and company are spending ("apportioning" ) our taxpayer dollars.

This video discusses the legal challenges brought by two pro-democracy nonprofit organizations - Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) and Protect Democracy, - to force the Trump administration with an important transparency law. - Glenn Kirschner - 08/19/2025.

This is frightening and yes, our Democracy IS at stake. We have to win this for our children and our children's children.

I hope there is still time.

These days, every time you think it can't get worse, he manages to top himself. This country is inexplicably led by a convicted felon! And one who takes great pleasure in arresting those who are minding their own business and trying to earn a living! Boggles the mind - and I can't help wondering what my ancestors who took a chance and journeyed here in search of a better life would think now - let alone my parents and grandparents. *sigh*
