re-mood.bsky.social60We doomers have been consistently told to wait until court orders are defied before taking a victory lap. What lap are we on at this point...?
WorseThanItSeems25Barring media from the White House a very effective distraction from their higher priority projects of disappearing non-citizens to third countries, aiding Netanyahu with his genocide, and transferring Treasury funds to themselves and their co-conspirators.
bkchez1.bsky.social10This administration thinks the Judicial branch orders are merely suggestions Mfers
albca.bsky.social7Let their be contempt findings and arrests made. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
sherrym2167.bsky.social6Why the hell doesn’t this judge or any others for that matter throw their contemptible asses in jail
Barb McQuade1459White House is violating court’s order with impunity, and CNN, MSNOW, and Politico are heading back to court. DOJ’s options are to admit incompetence or confess contempt of a court order and the rule of law.
Jameel Jaffer80Judge Kelly ordered WH officials to reinstate the news orgs, but he exempted Trump from the order's reach. Courts commonly do this--exempt the president--as a matter of comity, but it may become relevant here that courts have the power to enjoin the president if it's necessary.
Professa Murray48This is why I keep saying an individual member of the House or Senate should show up and demand to inspect the White House Ballroom. Boom! Constitutional standing…
Anna O. Law23The wheels of justice turn very slowly and Trump is taking advantage.
Jeremy Diamond ☕️7Does the White House really want to go to the mat to violate a court order that impacts journalists directly
Thomas Frampton6Counsel for Defendants was up late sending Trump’s insane tweets about Ford’s Theatre to the judge. Odd he’s not responding to calls from opposing counsel this AM.
meta2It is NOT his house.

tiggykitty.bsky.social24Folks need to start going to jail for contempt...
Martin Pollard22Blatant contempt of a court ruling? I did Nazi that coming.
1treehill14Trump has been disregarding the rule of law the moment he got the White House. Congressional Republicans are responsible for what’s happening. Their failure to uphold their constitutional duties of oversight and governance, to be a check on executive actions is weakening the balance of power.
@Cali-Candace.bsky.social11GOOD! These mutherfuckers need to be held in contempt and sit in a jail cell!!!
Lori 🇺🇦🐸🌊10Jennifer Rubin was on this morning saying she was worried this would happen. She said that Trump so far had not directly violated a court order, this would be the first time and would be a crisis. She said that the judge made it clear that they had to follow his order even if they were appealing.
A win! A federal judge has ordered the White House to immediately restore the press credentials of CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO reporters after Trump barred the outlets from the White House. The temporary order lasts 14 days while the lawsuit moves forward.
Dave Goldberg (he/him)47Yes, the White House is already violated with at least the latter two who’ve still been barred.
мя. мσявι∂31Uhhhh yeeeah about that…he’s just had reporters press-passes from all three outlets revoked again 🤷♂️
Sherry Krauss27He is ignoring court order, they’ve all been denied entry to the White House this morning
Dan Hall16Some win. Reporters from MSNOW and Politico are being denied entry this morning and a reporter for Politico had his credentials taken away.
EARNED MY SPURS & UNABLE TO CURB MY CUSSING 🐎15trump's Secret Service is apparently ignoring his loss this morning bsky.app/profile/atru...
donnayoder.bsky.social12I just think they should all quit covering him...he's a narcissist, the lack of attention would drive him crazy.
Reporters stood at the White House gate this morning holding a federal judge’s order that said let them in, & were turned anyway. No explanation. No comment. Just a president ignoring a court like it’s beneath him. This is an unprecedented, fascist assault on free speech. Free the press!
WatchYourRepsTN&SC22The GOP Congress refuses to stand up for the #1stAmendment by being silent in every matter involving their dear leader. This nation must vote all of them out of power. Replace them with real leaders who will stand up for this nation, not the criminal destroying the WH and all it stands for.
Peter Lion11And based on THIS action does anyone believe Trump won’t disregard the midterm election results, sue to overturn them, tie-up the people’s choices in litigation, and that his ass-licking lackey Mike Johnson will REFUSE to swear in those duly elected citing ongoing litigation?
Ukay5310Every single WH reporter and their bosses/owners should boycott all engagement with the President.Let the MF stew with nobody listening to his BS.
Muttsylvania10Secret Service are collaborators. They participated in the fake assassination in Butler and have enabled the corruption every step of the way. They need to be prosecuted along with their crime boss.
S Robertson Women’s Rights ARE Human Rights10Constitutional Crisis If the President is unable, or even worse, unwilling to make an effort to follow the rulings he doesn’t like, We the People, The Congress of the United States of American & our Judicial System must assume Trump is an Outlaw & assume the 2nd trump Coup has began
Cirilian7Frump really screwed up, the orange idiot. Once these reporters are back in, they will have no fear of being kicked out and will ask anything they want (so I hope!).
Trump is violating the judge's order to restore journalists access to the White House. The journalists claim they were denied entry this morning. Trump gave the initial order & lost the case, so far. He should drag Trump into court under a show cause order.
Linda 💙🦋🦭🐸🐕🐈⬛🦌🐘🦥8Cautionary tale... perhaps there was a point to imprisoning a convicted felon after all. But no, we made him president and expect he will respect the law.
Jail Trump7And that's when they came to fully realize the implications of the fact...
sherrimcgrath.bsky.social7surprise surprise, the felon does not care about the law
willbert54.bsky.social4The judge should hold the ENTIRE Trump inner circle of CONTEMPT, and throw them ALL in Jail for 30 days.
dh-web.bsky.social3Trump is trying to claim "lack of decorum" by reporters as his "reasoning" for banning them. But, it's Trump's TOTAL LACK OF DECORUM against reporters that has caused the issue.
Liam3I keep asking who is going to enforce these rulings against him and the DOJ. Both are complicit and will do nothing. Then what? Fines? You know who pays for them...the same people paying for the tariffs.
BREAKING: CNN was allowed back into the White House on Thursday at noon after a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to temporarily reinstate its access.
Hayden Black14Phew! Now we can all go back to ignoring CNN again.
Langdon Grant5Translation: After Judge Kelly called them on the carpet, the White House couldn't find a single lawyer at DOJ willing to put their name on whatever bullshit excuse they concocted for defying the TRO.
Keith Michon3They should just stay out. Stop giving this guy oxygen....
lonewolfkuda.bsky.social1A actual constitutional crisis avoided for now ,,
greenstraw2026.bsky.social1Here's the plot, folks. THEY will try this again and again and again leading up to the election in a mere 40 days. It will be a 'National Security' issue that I'll bet will happen around the last week of October. Xi and Putin will oblige w/ propaganda.
Big update: Trump White House violates court order this morning. Court orders restoration of press access. White House refuses. JD Vance outed as an "anonymous source" -- possible leaker. First every AI hack of a government website. 8 service members attempted to take their own lives. Subscribe:
Steve 🇨🇦4Apparently all you have to do to defeat democracy is ignore it. Funny eh?
REMOVE ALL FASCISTS FROM PUBLIC OFFICE1Weird, a lot of people keep telling us that he can’t do things cuz it’s against the law.
Jenni1The press should be avoiding the entire admin like the plague it is. Instead, they'll keep handing them power and sucking up. Because money.
Carol1When will people understand that court orders mean nothing to Trump?
Federal judge: restore press access immediately, the ban is unconstitutional. Trump’s White House: seizes a Politico reporter’s credentials anyway and keeps Betsy Klein locked out. Courts don’t matter to men who think they’re kings. This is what fascism looks like up close #momsky#sheshed
Tom Bombadil5It's difficult to enforce a court order when the DOJ is part of the corrupt administration and the SCOTUS has given blanket immunity from prosecution.
Adam Wollmer5Go arrest the person stopping the access. Today. Like, now. The should be in jail by dinnertime.
Wot’s uh the deal?2SCOTUS has not only failed the US Taxpayers, but they have also failed their colleagues that serve on the Bench, and subsequently have their rulings ignored by this Administration. You gave immunity to a career criminal.
Dr Z2This is what future Federal inmates do
montanawill1971.bsky.social1They all been restored over hour ago
Donald is defying the Judge's Court Order which is ordering him to allow access for CNN, MS NOW and Politico into the White House. It's here folks. We are now under Dictatorship. 👠
Jason Deslin13Really??? THIS is where you realize it? Not the 1st time he ignored a court order? Not the 100th time? But only now? This is how things have gotten this bad. Shitler should have been impeached months into his 1st term and imprisoned.
🇨🇦 Mike O'Doyle 🇨🇦7Hahahahahaha You can't be serious. THIS is what did it for you? 😁 For me it was when Biden failed to imprison Donald Trump in 2021.
DebbieLynn (she/her)5We have a Constitutional crisis.
isonope.bsky.social4He’ll be telling the SCOTUS 6 the emergency, national security crap again
Luckiiyu🍀🍀🍀3Let him remain ignored! This dumb MF’r thinks he’s missed! He’s not! No one actually wants to see his demented ass speak! Frankly I’d love never hearing from him again!
IdahoGal10062Arrest him! Try him! Remove him from office!!!
NEW: After reporters were denied access this morning, plaintiffs are requesting an immediate hearing. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Piotr Wilkin21Can we please have some contempt finally?
KB14Chris, I just want to say again how much we all appreciate what you do. You make all of this make sense, even when it’s nonsensical.
Disgusted & Dismayed8Hope Judge Kelly orders the most senior staff to his courtroom to explain why his orders are being ignored purposely. Steve Cheung should be that person.
Philip Nelson 💻🧙2Plaintiffs filed a corrected version omitting the part about urgency because Xi Jinping's visit. www.courtlistener.com/docket/74823...
K9healer2And when they are back in the room they should not be so indulgence of the abuse. When they are spoken to with contempt give it back. Unify and walk out.
Greg White1I am not a lawyer, but based on the procedures that I went through to obtain a high level security clearance, I swore loyalty to the US, and pledged to support the Constitution. Do the Secret Service agents violate their sworn oaths when they ignore the 1st Amendment by taking the press passes?
Chris Geidner307A response is ordered by 12:30p.
Mikepole21So the Secret Service and the sitting Republican President are NOT the party of law and order huh. Especially when his own appointed judge ruled against him.
Tim Murphy11barring people from buildings in defiance of court orders is like the foundation of modern conservatism
Steven Lucy2Did a midnight court order not make its way to front line Secret Service by 7am? Or is Trump Admin purposefully violating court order? (I say "Trump Admin" because Trump himself is actually exempt from the order for weird legal reasons.)
michael spins2okay then let's jump straight to contempt proceedings-
BREAKING: Despite a federal judge ordering the Trump administration to immediately restore CNN, MS NOW, and Politico’s access to the White House, a Politico reporter was barred from entering the White House this morning and had his credentials seized. www.politico.com/news/2026/09...
Hope Dems learn that court orders are entirely irrelevant when they're in power. Trump is immune from prosecution you say? Yeah, we don't care.
Even Gayer Boofcario8Courts didn't stop him before, they're not gonna stop him now. If only the media apparatus wasn't enabling him the whole time.
The Rest of Us Party7"Law and Order.....unless we disagree."
Captain Beefheart’s Trout2This should not be surprising. This bunch of fucks are going to do whatever the hell they damn please because, frankly, who's gonna stop them?
When will rumps terror regime be stopped?
Journalists from MSNOW, CNN and Politico are still being denied access to the White House despite a court order. The Trump regime is lawless. We must win Congress in the midterms and then impeach and remove the criminals.
Annie3And throw them in jail.
Kevin Salem3What's amazing is the talk a few years ago about the possibility of a constitutional crisis and the utter failure to acknowledge one when it's a lived reality.
Democracy Vibe · by NoMAGA2When officials can ignore a court order in public, the damage goes beyond which reporters get through the gate: it tells everyone that judicial rulings are optional for the powerful.
R. Wellian1this means we can ignore his pardons, right?
A POLITICO reporter was denied access to the White House today and his press credentials confiscated—despite a judge ordering the Trump administration to immediately restore access for news organizations that Trump had banned last week. MS NOW and CNN said their reporters were also denied entry.
bertiebirdman10You no longer have a functioning government, but a dictatorship.
Glenn10All the more reason to impeach and remove ASAP.
kaybell27.bsky.social9Not one person is surprised, Trump has ignored every court ruling. There is no 'Free Speech' in the US.
Tom3This judicial disobedience needs a forceful response from the judge ordering Todd Blanche to present himself in person to answer the courts questions as well as the WH Chief council!
James Kinsale3Each outlet should begin every segment or article with: "We at (outlet) have been denied White House access for no legitimate reason and in direct violation of a court order." And put a web banner that says as much.
Oldfatuglynbroke2Since when has Trump obeyed a judge's orders about something that REALLY pisses him off?
BREAKING: Some MS NOW, CNN and Politico journalists denied White House access this morning despite judge's overnight ruling
aruba33.bsky.social7Impeach and remove if you want to restore democracy for the people
Ms.Carter6He wouldn’t be afraid of the First Amendment if he weren’t a criminal.
Wensicia (Wendy C)5All journalists should boycott the White House until they're allowed back.
hawboldt.bsky.social4I’m sorry but time has come to lock up and disbar the AG….. he is supposed to work FOR the people-upholding the laws….. NOT shielding the orange bafoon
HawgPhan8784The Trump administration is the most corrupt and lawless in the entire history of the United States. Its going to be hard to wrest our country back from these crooks, but Americans are up to the task. VOTE BLUE.
Michele Dotson 🇺🇸🫶🏾⚖️🗳📬🇺🇦✌🏾🦾4Because this is Trump’s first time defying, obfuscating, and manipulating judicial orders??
