Tension Rises as Trump Administration Faces Legal Challenges and Policy Critiques

The Trump administration is encountering a series of legal challenges and policy critiques. House Speaker Johnson asserted Congress's power over district courts. Trump signed orders targeting law firms. Legal battles include Columbia University suing over funding cuts and a transgender passport policy being challenged. A Reuters poll highlights public sentiment on presidential compliance with court rulings.

The Trump administration is currently under scrutiny, facing several lawsuits and controversies. Notably, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson highlighted Congress's potential to dissolve district courts, deeming them as part of a dangerous trend against Trump's policies.

Amidst this, President Donald Trump signed an executive order targeting the law firm Jenner & Block, in continuation of his allegations against firms opposing his policies, similar to prior actions against Perkins Coie and Paul Weiss.

Adding to the administration's legal wrangles, Columbia University faculties have taken legal action against Trump's academic funding cuts, and a federal judge questioned the administration's policies on transgender passports. Concurrently, a recent poll reveals most Americans believe presidents should adhere to court rulings.
