Trump Openly Threatens Judges Who Blocked His Orders

Summary

Donald Trump criticized federal judges who blocked his administration’s funding cuts, suggesting they should be “looked at.”

His comments followed a ruling that halted a $4 billion NIH budget cut targeting biomedical research. Scientists warned the cuts would cripple labs and cost jobs.

Trump also signed an order supporting Elon Musk’s plan to reduce the federal workforce, though courts have blocked several of Musk’s initiatives.

Musk defended Trump’s efforts, arguing the judiciary and bureaucracy undermine democracy, despite not being an elected official himself.
