Bottom line: This isn’t budget policy, it’s a power grab. It strips judges of their ability to enforce the law and gives government officials a green light to ignore court orders. It’s authoritarian by design and it’s buried in the fine print.

- Translation: Officials can violate court orders and face no consequences. - Even if a judge tries to hold them in contempt, they’ll be blocked from enforcing it.

This is what an authoritarian regime would do. Hidden deep in Trump’s 1,100-page bill that passed the House today is a provision that would block federal courts from enforcing contempt charges against government officials who violate court orders.

It tasted great! I served it with a side of potatoes for soaking up the sauce at the end of the bowl. The shrimp is traditionally joined by chicken in household cooking, but this version's flavorful meatballs were my favorite part of this dish!
