Federal judge rules against Trump regime

Newsweek -  A federal judge ruled on Monday that the Trump administration's cancellation of approximately $8 billion in energy grants violated the Constitution by targeting recipients primarily based in Democratic-leaning states.

U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta issued a 17-page opinion finding the Department of Energy's (DOE) grant terminations unlawful under the Fifth Amendment's equal protection guarantee. The ruling orders the department to restore seven specific grants worth $27.6 million that were part of a broader cancellation affecting more than 200 projects announced by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russ Vought on October 1, 2025, the first day of the government shutdown.
