Over 50 lawsuits have been filed against Trump’s executive orders, bringing most of them to a temporary halt as reliable Leftist and/or Deep State judges hand down numerous preliminary injunction decrees from the bench. But it takes time for even motivated lawyers to draft suits and complaints, and Trump’s whirlwind agenda has often already made inroads by the time it was halted. In one instance, Musk’s investigative team was able to access nearly all the Treasury payment files and map where the money went, before the emergency action from the judge could stop it. Even though the judge declared that no data must be revealed, the cat was already out of the bag, and lots of people are squirming. Radical leftist Rep. Maxine Waters complained that, “We don’t know what all they have on us.” While Paul Craig Roberts and I both predicted that the Deep State will use the courts to stop Trump’s popular anti-woke revival, it’s not always the Deep State initiating these judicial moves. The far-Left, largely represented by Democrat operatives in the judiciary, politics and those on the receiving end of every welfare and aid scheme raking in billions in secret disbursements, have been very motivated to kill Trump’s massive momentum—and that isn’t as easy as they hoped. There are a lot of motivated people on Trump’s side who are energized by his blitzkrieg on Washington DC. But the depth of corruption runs deep in the capitol and the counterattack is building.

“Some of the possible factors we will investigate were formerly taboo or insufficiently scrutinized,” Kennedy told HHS staff, Tuesday morning. “I’m willing to subject them all to the scrutiny of unbiased science.” Some of these previously taboo concerns, he said, include “the childhood vaccine schedule, electromagnetic radiation, glyphosate, other pesticides, ultra processed foods, artificial food additives, SSRI and other psychiatric drugs, PFAS, PFOAs, microplastics.”

One loophole in the NCAA’s new policy is a clause that allows them to duck accountability by stating that “member schools will remain responsible for certifying student-athlete eligibility for practice and competition.” This means that it is up to the schools to determine who is eligible to participate

German prosectors: "Yes" CBS: "Is it a crime to repost a lie?" German prosecutors: "Yes"
Europe is also deeply concerned that it is getting cut out of peace talks toward a negotiated settlement to end the Ukraine war. They are worried President Zelensky himself is getting sidelined, after last week's 90-minute Trump call with Putin.
“Despite being widely used by law enforcement and civilians across the country for personal protection, New Jersey’s draconian laws prohibit the possession of commonly used hollow-point ammunition outside the home, leaving residents to carry substandard full metal jacket ammunition instead,” GOA said in a press release announcing the action. “The plaintiffs argue that there is no historical precedent for such a ban and cite Heller and Bruen as key Supreme Court decisions affirming their constitutional rights.”
Rubio didn't let the remark stand, replying: "Well, I have to disagree with you. Free speech was not used to conduct a genocide. The genocide was conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime that happened to also be genocidal ... There was no free speech in Nazi Germany. There was none. There was also no opposition in Nazi Germany. They were a sole and only party that governed that country. So that's not an accurate reflection of history."

By 6 AM, Treasury's career officials began arriving for work. They found systems they thought impenetrable already mapped. Networks they believed hidden already exposed. Power structures built over decades revealed in hours. Their traditional defenses—slow-walking decisions, leaking damaging stories, stonewalling requests—proved useless against an opponent moving faster than their systems could react. By the time they drafted their first memo objecting to this breach, three more systems had already been mapped
Only Congress can impeach a federal judge when it finds the judge committed wrongdoing.
Somalia, along with other Islamic terrorist entities, including the Taliban in Afghanistan, the Houthis in Yemen, and Hamas in Gaza, were among the top beneficiaries of USAID cash. USAID sent $2.1 billion to Gaza and the "West Bank" since the Hamas attacks of Oct 7. In 2024 alone, $917 million was programmed for the terrorist areas occupying Israel. USAID provided over $3.7 billion to Afghanistan since the Taliban took over with $832 million in the previous fiscal year alone. The money was so unaccountable that USAID refused to cooperate with SIGAR: the government watchdog tracking spending in Afghanistan intent on blocking money from aiding terrorists.
