Federal courts may be the last security guard against Trump
More than 40 lawsuits have been filed recently, with state attorney generals, unions and nonprofits trying to set a barrier to the blitz of President Trump's executive order. Yesterday, Vice President JD Vance accused a judge who may block the president's orders for illegal activities.
With almost great resistance to complying Congress and either on the streets or within the president's own party, the government's judicial branch may be the only check of his power. However, while administrative agencies are entrusted with the ability to act quickly and decisively, the judiciary is slower by design. Legal opposition may be tough to keep up with Trump's fire hose of legal disruption. There were several measurable results: judicial orders in nine federal court cases will partially restrain the administration's hands for a while.
Foreign Aid: On Friday, the court issued a limited temporary order blocking the move as workers from the government's major foreign aid agencies are expected to be suspended or fired on payroll. Thousands of workers were left in Limbo, while millions of people around the world rely on agents who watched with distrust.
Immigration: Trump Administration crackdown on immigration – At least 10 cases have occurred, both legally and illegally. Here is a summary of these and other issues:
Israeli forces left the important zone bisecting Gaza
Israeli forces retreated from the Netzarim corridor yesterday, leaving almost everything in Gaza's Northern Territory. This move was necessary with a tenuous ceasefire with Hamas ahead of the long-term truce meeting.
Israel's military presence is currently limited to small slivers in southern Gaza near the Egyptian border and buffer zones along the Israeli border.
Return: Hamas released three Israeli hostages on Saturday in exchange for 183 Palestinians imprisoned by Israel. The rifle-striking Hamas fighters stabbed the weakened prisoners in order to give a brief speech the hostages thanked the extremists. Five Thai citizens who were invited to visit on October 7, 2023 also returned to their homes.
Now that they are at home, previously released hostages have expressed their relief and joy on social media as an explanation of the suffering they endured.

On social media, are we all documentaries?
Scrolling Instagram reels may offer endless variety, but in reality it's very mediocre. It's a short window on what people do for themselves all day. Film critic Alyssa Wilkinson writes, because he loves to see humans being human. This applies to the work of famous documentary director Frederick Wiseman. Frederick Wiseman's film was recently restored for retrospectives in New York, Los Angeles and Paris.
Using reels effectively watch small documentaries about human behavior. Still, Alyssa writes, but we may feel like the director of what we see, but we are not. Ultimately, the platform is calling the shot. Click here for details.
