Good morning, Wake Up Right fam! The fallout from Democrats' disrespectful and corny behavior during President Trump's congressional address has spilled across the aisle.

• 📰 Left-wing POLITICO published the headline: “‘Giving bingo’: Democrats’ silent protest against Trump falls flat”

• 💬 Democrat Senator John Fetterman wrote on X: “A sad cavalcade of self owns and unhinged petulance. It only makes Trump look more presidential and restrained. We’re becoming the metaphorical car alarms that nobody pays attention to—and it may not be the winning message.”

Four months after their election loss and the Democrat party is still lost in the wilderness.

• ✅ 66% say Trump policies will put U.S. on right path

• 🪦 Rep. Sylvester Turner (D) died 62 into his first term

• 🇨🇳 China will increase military spending by 7.5% in 2025

• 🏴 U.S. designates Houthis as a Foreign Terrorists Organization

Supreme Court blocks Trump from halting $2B in foreign aid

In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court denied the Trump administration’s request to freeze $2 billion in foreign aid funds, siding with a lower court order requiring immediate payment to USAID contractors.

The details: Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the three liberal justices in rejecting the administration’s request, upholding a temporary restraining order (TRO) from U.S. District Judge Amir Ali, compelling the government to pay contractors for previously completed work.

The dissent: Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Justices Thomas, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh, issued a scathing dissent, calling the lower court ruling a “lawless order” forcing an unrecoverable taxpayer payout.

• Justice Alito wrote: “Does a single district-court judge who likely lacks jurisdiction have the unchecked power to compel the Government of the United States to pay out (and probably lose forever) 2 billion taxpayer dollars? The answer to that question should be an emphatic ‘no.’”

Real talk from G: Chief Justice Roberts has always been an unreliable vote for maintaining the integrity of the Constitution. And as time goes on, Justice Barrett — who Trump appointed in his first term — seems to be following in his footsteps.

On the Bright side: This is not a final ruling. No court, including the Supreme Court or lower courts, has decided whether Trump can freeze foreign aid. The Supreme Court only affirmed the lower court's right to issue a temporary injunction as the case moves forward.

On the dark side: This sets a very dangerous precedent and will embolden lower court judges in every dark blue corner of the map to force the President of the United States into temporary action before the constitutionality has been decided. Furthermore, once these funds are dispersed, they will likely never be recovered if the final ruling ends up in Trump’s favor.

CNN caught writing fake ‘fact check’ on Trump’s transgender mice claim

CNN was forced to correct their "fact-check" after the outlet claimed President Donald Trump "falsely" stated that $8 million in tax dollars were used to study making mice transgender.

Back up: During President Trump's address to Congress on Tuesday, he rattled off a list of ways the federal government was wasting money, including “Eight million dollars for making mice transgender. This is real.”

CNN fact-check: Shortly after his speech, CNN published a fact-check article, which said Trump "falsely claimed" the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) found $8 million for turning mice transgender.

• The article suggested Trump was erroneously referring to a $477,121 project that gave monkeys estrogen for HIV testing.

The truth: The White House clapped back, providing a fact sheet with six studies funded by the Biden regime’s National Institutes of Health (NIH) “for making mice transgender” that totaled $8,290,053.

• 3.1 million was spent to determine how to “treat and prevent asthma in cis and transgender women.”

• $1.2 million was spent to learn how testosterone affects "transgender males" reproductive systems

CNN’s walk-back: The outlet quietly corrected its article, admitting Trump’s statement was “incorrectly characterized as false.”

The last word goes to the Trump White House’s rapid response account on X, which wrote:

• "The Fake News losers at CNN tried to fact check President Trump… but President Trump was right (as usual).”
