SPCA radiothon Day 6: Paws For Love

President Donald Trump lashed out at U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell, an Obama appointee hearing a lawsuit over an executive order against law firm Perkins Coie.

In a Wednesday message posted on his Truth Social platform, Trump called Howell an "unmitigated train wreck" after she declined to remove herself from the case.

"I’m suing the law firm of Perkins Coie for their egregious and unlawful acts, in particular the conduct of a specific member of this firm, only to find out that the Judge assigned to this case is Beryl Howell, an Obama appointment, and a highly biased and unfair disaster," Trump wrote. "She ruled against me in the past, in a shocking display of sick judicial temperament, on a case that ended up working out very well for me, on appeal."

Trump is thought to be upset with Perkins Coie after it hired Fusion GPS, which funded an investigation into him in 2016 and paid for the so-called Steele dossier on behalf of Hillary Clinton's campaign.

"I could have a 100% perfect case and she would angrily rule against me," the president whined. "It’s called Trump Derangement Syndrome, and she’s got a bad case of it. To put it nicely, Beryl Howell is an unmitigated train wreck. NO JUSTICE!!!"

For her part, Howell has accused Trump and the Department of Justice of trying to undermine the court.

“This strategy is designed to impugn the integrity of the federal judicial system and blame any loss on the decision-maker rather than fallacies in the substantive legal arguments presented," she wrote in one ruling against Trump's executive order.

“Adjudicating whether an Executive Branch exercise of power is legal, or not, is actually the job of the federal courts, and not of the President or the Department of Justice, though vigorous and rigorous defense of executive actions is both expected and helpful to the courts in resolving legal issues."

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) held an event in Estero, Florida, on Monday, where residents of his district expressed their anger over drastic cuts to government agencies that many count on for services.

When he came into office, President Donald Trump created the Department of Government Efficiency by executive order and tasked tech billionaire Elon Musk with finding things to cut. That initiative has been behind the upheaval and dismantling of government agencies. Websites, grants, programs, and employees have been cut or frozen under the promise that Trump will save taxpayers trillions.

Speaking to CNN's Boris Sanchez on Tuesday, chief congressional correspondent Manu Raju called it a "pretty remarkable scene" that Donalds responded to angry constituents by yelling at them.

"I mean, the question is, how broad is this among the electorate?" he questioned. "We've seen this happen time and time again. Are these Democratic voters who are coming out there expressing their outrage, and probably in a lot of cases, yes. Are there independent voters who are moved by what Donald Trump has been doing, what DOGE has been doing, impacts on their lives, on the tariffs and prices? Are those the ones that are raising concerns? Or are they Trump voters? Are they people who are concerned about the person they voted for into office here?"

He also noted that Donalds' district is in "a very conservative area." He recalled that in 2024, Trump carried the district by 30 points.

"Even that county, where that town hall was in yesterday, Trump won that by 30 points," cited Raju. "So, this is a conservative area. What does it say for the broader electorate? We'll see. But it was interesting."

He pointed to another moment in which Donalds was asked about Musk and others gaining access to personal Social Security files. When he read the question aloud, the crowd cheered.

Donalds answered that Musk and DOGE "have been authorized by the president of the United States."

The crowd booed loudly.
