Three federal judges blocked key parts of Donald Trump’s agenda in courtrooms across the country on Thursday, all within roughly 90 minutes of one another.

First, Trump’s executive orders targeting so-called “sanctuary cities” were deemed unconstitutional attempts to “coerce” local officials into enforcing the president’s immigration policies.

Next, the president’s attempts to withhold federal funding from schools that engage with diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives were labeled “textbook viewpoint discrimination” that likely violate the First Amendment.

And another judge blocked parts of the president’s sweeping executive order targeting election administration and voting rights, including a requirement that voter registration forms ask for proof of citizenship.

    Let’s see. Trump says no more DEI. Only hire based on merit.

    Then he fills every vital position and non vital for that matter with moronic loyalists.

    And they still praise this chimp.
