Wait what? Who exactly issued a “legally binding order” to de-bank a prominent conservative commentator?
Hi @michaeljknowles. By way of follow-up, we can confirm that the restrictions placed on your account were not taken unilaterally by Stripe, but were the result of a legally binding order that was issued to us. Our support team previously reached out to X regarding this matter.…
The judicial confirmation train is picking up speed. President Trump is picking even more bold and fearless judges in his second term.
Vote forecast: At 11:00am, on Tuesday, July 22nd, the Senate will proceed to three roll call votes on the following 1. Confirmation of Executive Calendar #171 Terrance Cole to be Administrator of Drug Enforcement. 2. Confirmation of Executive Calendar #260 Joshua M. Divine to be…
Good thread on this absolute lunacy.
The district court in Massachusetts enjoined Congress from cutting funding for Planned Parenthood. Abandoning it's earlier Bill of Attainder theory, the Court finds that Congress passing a law defunding PP violates their First Amendment and Equal Protection rights. I'm skeptical!
Big win for President Trump. The Supreme Court has all but overruled Humphrey's Executor. Apparently the D.C. Circuit (two Obama and a Trump appointee) unanimously got the message. This is a temporary step towards establishing that the President runs the executive branch!
🚨🚨🚨Breaking: Another Trump win of a temporary stay in case lower court ordered reinstatement of fired FTC presidential appointees.
The court never relied on the Bill of Attainder theory but did abandon full reliance on the right of association, now recognizing that theory only would help PP that don't perform abortions. So, it invented the EP theory.

We’ve been sounding the alarm for weeks. Now @washingtonpost just blew the UN’s cover. Hamas hijacks UN aid, resells it, and pockets the profit. GHF’s secure model blocks the looting, so Hamas wants us gone. Let’s break down the WaPo piece. 🧵
Agreed!
How is it that in the Year of Our Lord 2025, reporters are still writing stories about newly filed federal lawsuits and NOT linking to the complaint in the first sentence (or anywhere else)?
Eye-opening! Early in President Trump's term, legal commentators said the win-loss record in district courts showed unique lawlessness. Now, thanks to the all-stars at the @TheJusticeDept, the numbers (and lower courts) have reversed. Looking forward to the public reassessment!
Lots of noise about what to do re the Chief Federal prosecutor in New Jersey. Here's a thread that cuts through the noise and offers solutions 🧵
The district judges in New Jersey are thinking about replacing @realdonaldtrump’s chosen US Attorney—@USAttyHabba—with someone the judges choose under a statute purporting to give them that power. But if the judges attempt that move, it should fail. Here’s why. 1/
