One could argue that everything done in Trump's second term has but one motivation: Stop release of the Epstein files.

Justice Jackson Played Trump’s DOJ Like a Fiddle Trump’s DOJ called feeding people "judicial activism." Justice Jackson called it what it was — bad lawyering. One administrative stay, total control. Full Legal AF breakdown: www.youtube.com/watch?v=un58... #Trump #SNAP @legalafmtn.bsky.social

Trump’s DOJ Just Got Schooled By Justice Jackson Trump’s lawyers went crying to the Supreme Court because a lower court told them to fund SNAP. Justice Jackson dropped one administrative stay and turned their stunt into a masterclass. www.youtube.com/watch?v=un58... @legalafmtn.bsky.social #Trump

Trump’s Tariff Math Makes Zero Sense Trump keeps bragging that his tariffs make America rich. The truth is he used an emergency powers law meant for national security to invent his own tax system. I break it down on Legal AF. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sHo... #SupremeCourt #SCOTUS #Trump

This is fucking evil.

Tariffs seem the only thing Trump cares about besides lining his pockets which makes him particularly vulnerable when his pet ideology is tested before SCOTUS - how did the arguments go for the Trump administration? Shan Wu breaks it down. @legalafmtn.bsky.social youtu.be/-sHoXANmJiw?...

#BREAKING: Justice Jackson has issued an "administrative" stay, temporarily pausing a district court order that would've required the USDA to continue using contingency funds to pay SNAP benefits. The stay expires 48 hours after the First Circuit rules on USDA's request for a stay pending appeal.

Why does the Trump administration want people to go hungry? DOJ asks SCOTUS to decide by 9:30pm if they will stay the order that Trump give SNAP benefits to the 40 million or more folks depending on it.

Trump’s Tariff Brag Just Collapsed. If you brag about billions in tariff money and then say it is not about revenue, that is not strategy. That is tripping over your own headline. Politics can sell it. The law cannot save it. #Trump #Tariffs #NewsNation #ShanWu #USPolitics #LegalAnalysis

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

"Let me be clear: The president has both the funding and the authority to fund SNAP during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.” Gov. Andy Beshear

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106. 12 days of work in 106 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
