Trump Scores Legal Victory in Lawsuit Against Pulitzer Prize Board and Those Who ‘Traffic in Fake News’​

President Trump scored yet another legal victory on Wednesday as he continues to hold news organizations accountable for failing to report the truth. The latest win comes in the form of an appellate court in Florida unanimously affirming a trial court order denying the Pulitzer Prize Board's motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought forth by the president.

Trump filed the lawsuit in 2022 over the panel’s award for “Russian collusion” stories pushed by the New York Times and Washington Post.

Judge Ed Artau, in his written concurrence, affirmed that the trial court had jurisdiction over the defendants but also concluded that the statement at the heart of the lawsuit is, in fact, actionable.

The lawsuit contends that the awards were based on a “demonstrably false connection” that “was and remains the stated basis” for stories run by the Post and the Times regarding collusion.

Trump hasn't won the actual case. This just means it can go forward.

And even Rightguide should be ashamed to use Redstate as a cite.

He'll lose more cases than he will win

Yes, I know you hate every truth your media tries to hide. You should thank me for the edification I provide, that they deny to dummies like you to keep you stupid enough to keep voting Democrat.

Ha ha ha!

Laugh as you need.
You'll find out

I suspect this is another case that will be settled out of court. The judge's ruling allows the case to move forward to the next phase, discovery. And that is NOT where the Pulitzer committee wants to be.

14 states file a lawsuit arguing Elon Musk's authority at DOGE is unconstitutional

A group of 14 states sued Elon Musk and President Donald Trump on Thursday, arguing that the authority the White House granted the tech billionaire and his advisory Department of Government Efficiency is unconstitutional.

The suit, filed by Democratic attorneys general from states like Arizona, Michigan and Rhode Island, takes aim at the magnitude and scale of Musk’s power, noting that DOGE has led the Trump administration’s efforts to dramatically reduce the size of the federal workforce, dismantle entire agencies and access sensitive data.

“The founders of this country would be outraged that, 250 years after our nation overthrew a king, the people of this country—many of whom have fought and died to protect our freedoms—are now subject to the whims of a single unelected billionaire,” Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a statement.

The attorneys general argue that Trump violated the Appointments Clause of the Constitution by creating DOGE — an unofficial government agency — without congressional approval and by granting Musk “sweeping powers” without seeking the advice and consent of the Senate through a confirmation hearing.

“President Trump has delegated virtually unchecked authority to Mr. Musk without proper legal authorization from Congress and without meaningful supervision of his activities,” the lawsuit reads. “As a result, he has transformed a minor position that was formerly responsible for managing government websites into a designated agent of chaos without limitation and in violation of the separation of powers.”

The states are seeking a court order blocking Musk from making changes to government funding, canceling contracts, making personnel decisions and more.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called the lawsuit a "continuation of the weaponization of justice against President Trump."
