You won’t see a headline like that in the legacy media, eh?
Not enough twist on it and too much exposure. Too bad. Thats how we do it over here.
A Muslim federal judge ordered the Trump administration to hit the “unfreeze” button on foreign aid.
For some reason he’s concerned that money keeps flowing outside of the USA.
Maybe DOGE should look into his bank account.
The administration says it needs time to review which programs should stay and which should go, (I think most of us agree that all these foreign programs need to go!)
But Judge Amir Ali wants the money released now.

A Muslim judge ordering President Trump to keep sending money to other countries?
Imagine my shock.
Politicians, I mean, USAID needs that money.
How else will kids in Peru get tranny comic books?

Fox News reports:
A federal judge late Thursday issued an order compelling the Trump administration to lift its three-week funding freeze on U.S. foreign aid.
Judge Amir Ali issued the order Thursday in U.S. district court in Washington in a lawsuit brought by two health organizations that receive U.S. funding for programs abroad.
In his order, Ali noted that the Trump administration argued it had to shut down funding for the thousands of U.S. Agency for International Development aid programs abroad to conduct a thorough review of each program and whether it should be eliminated.
NPR adds:
A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to temporarily lift a three-week funding freeze that has shut down U.S. aid and development programs worldwide.
Judge Amir Ali issued the order Thursday in U.S. district court in Washington in a lawsuit brought by two health organizations that receive U.S. funding for programs abroad.
In his order, Ali noted that the Trump administration argued it had to shut down funding for the thousands of U.S. Agency for International Development aid programs abroad to conduct a thorough review of each program and whether it should be eliminated.
However, administration officials “have not offered any explanation for why a blanket suspension of all congressionally appropriated foreign aid, which set off a shockwave and upended” contracts with thousands of nonprofit groups, businesses and others “was a rational precursor to reviewing programs,” the judge said.
The ruling was the first to temporarily roll back a Trump administration funding freeze on foreign assistance that has forced USAID and State Department contractors around the world to stop providing humanitarian aid and other assistance and lay off staff, paralyzing much of the world’s aid delivery networks.
The order allowing funds to flow again applies to existing contracts before Trump issued his Jan. 20 executive order declaring a freeze on foreign assistance. Trump called much of U.S. aid out of line with his agenda.
Earlier Thursday, a judge in a separate case over the Trump administration’s dismantling of USAID and U.S. aid programs abroad said that his order halting the Trump administration’s plans to pull all but a fraction of USAID staffers off the job worldwide will stay in place for at least another week.
You’ve got 5 days, Mr. President or else!!
Or else what? These people are a joke.

This is Judge Amir Ali.
He just unilaterally ordered the Trump administration to resume funding to USAID.
Does this seem “fair and constitutional” to you? pic.twitter.com/j29FMZSb2H
