If it's Monday, President Trump, Vice President Vance, and Elon Musk all take aim at the judicial branch as federal judges intervene to slow down the administration's crusade to slash federal workers and federal funds without Congress.

Plus, manufacturers, workers, and investors all brace for the president's next move

on tariffs as he vows to impose sweeping new penalties on steel and aluminum coming into the

United States. And Democrats begin to name their price as the party looks to maximize its leverage

at a pair of crucial spending fights to fund the government

and avoid a catastrophic government defaults.

Hi there, and welcome to meet the press.

Now, I'm Ryan Nobles in Washington, where the Trump

administration is pressing forward with its swift and dramatic overhaul of the federal government,

despite pushback from the courts and warnings of a pending constitutional crisis from some Democrats.

Today, a federal judge determined that the Trump administration is violating the

court's order to lift the blanket spending freeze on federal grant programs. In his order,

the judge says that the administration must immediately come into compliance with his order.

It comes as the Trump administration has grown increasingly angry with the courts after federal

judges halted some of the administration's most sweeping and controversial agenda items,

including its efforts to end birthright citizenship, its attempt to dismantle USAID, its proposed

buyout offers for federal workers, and Elon Musk and Doge's access to a vital treasury

system. President Trump this weekend defended Musk's work and criticized judges who've ruled against him.

We have to find all of the fraud that's going on. We have tremendous fraud, tremendous waste and tremendous abuse, and theft, by the way.

And the day you're not allowed to look for theft and fraud, et cetera, then we don't have much of a country.

So no judge should be, no judge should frankly be allowed to make that kind of a decision.

It's a disgrace.
