Trump administration plans to appeal judge ruling over President’s House slavery exhibits

A day after Judge Cynthia M. Rufe ordered the National Park Service to restore the panels to the President's House, Mayor Cherelle L. Parker called the ruling "a huge win for the people of our city."

NEW: Today, an immigration judge terminated removal proceedings for Mohsen Mahdawi, the Columbia student, Palestinian activist, and U.S. permanent resident whom the Trump administration arrested in April 2025 and attempted to deport under the foreign policy provision.

Republicans: "I was just foolin'."

Democrats: "I wasn't."

I genuinely don't know much about Mennonites but I don't hear about them "rising up" very often, so this must be pretty good.

THE POWER OF PUBLIC ANGER

The regime does not have enough support to sustain itself and will fall. #WeWillWin

Even though athletes don't directly impact policy, this is good because:

1. it normalizes sentiment against the regime
2. it shows they are not afraid of speaking out
3. so the regime hasn't consolidated power over free speech (it just wants you to think so)
4. therefore you too can speak out

The Virginia Supreme Court has ruled that the state can put a redistricting plan on the ballot this spring that could add as many as four more Democratic seats in Congress.

The referendum will take place on April 21.

#WeWillWin if people are determined.

‘South Texas will never be red again’: Home builders warn GOP over Trump’s immigration raids

Many local and state governments have been taking the lead on fighting the federal regime. This is just one example of (relative) baby steps - in Texas! - but many more areas have already adopted firm policies.

This is a damn good record! They cannot consolidate the regime without the courts. #WeWillWin

The Court, accordingly, ORDERS that: 1. Plaintiffs shall file under seal (but not ex parte) by February 20, 2026, a Notice indicating which Plaintiffs are currently in which third countries; 2. Plaintiffs shall by February 27, 2026, file a Notice noting the number of Plaintiffs who wish to travel independently to a U.S. port of entry or who wish to be flown from a third country to the United States for their court proceedings, understanding that in both scenarios they will be detained upon arrival. Plaintiffs shall simultaneously file a separate Notice under seal listing the names of such individuals; 3. Plaintiffs shall by March 9, 2026, file a Notice giving the number of Plaintiffs (in Venezuela or third countries) who wish to file supplements to their habeas class petition, including challenges to the Proclamation or their identification as TdA members. Plaintiffs shall likewise file a simultaneous Notice under seal listing those individuals’ names

The Government shall promptly return to Plaintiffs upon written request by their current counsel all passports and identification documents that any agency currently retains, and it shall make good-faith efforts to obtain any of Plaintiffs’ passports or identification documents that were transferred to El Salvador; and 5.

It appears that in planning for Operation Metro Surge, the government failed to plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees. The government suggests — with minimal explanation and even less evidence — that doing so would result in "chaos." The Constitution does not permit the government to arrest thousands of individuals and then disregard their constitutional rights because it would be too challenging to honor those rights. 14 At this preliminary stage, Plaintiffs have made a clear showing of likelihood of success on their Fifth Amendment claim.

BREAKING: Judge Nancy Brasel, a Trump appointee, has issued a TRO in the Minnesota access-to-counsel case about treatment at Whipple.

Judge blocks Trump administration from cutting $600 million in public health funds A federal judge in Chicago temporarily blocked on Thursday the Trump administration from moving ahead with $600 million in cuts to public health grants in four states led by Democrats.

Temporary victory 🤞

Shah’s order prevents the federal government from moving ahead with the disputed funding cuts for 14 days while the lawsuit continues to play out in court.

Potential victory. I'll check back on it later. White nationalists are being challenged, which means they do not have full power over the regime.

Public health should never be politicized — and the courts agreed tonight.

Donald Trump's attack on Illinoisans was just blocked by a temporary restraining order.

We will continue to check his abuses of power and win against this President.

Same thing happened in Chicago and LA. They are trying to intimidate the resistance, but the justice system ain't having it.

This is what I mean when I say journalists are on the front line. Without them, we wouldn't know this was happening and there would be no backlash.

Republican appointed judge rules in favor of Kelly

In his ruling, Leon wrote that Hegseth had “trampled” on Kelly’s first amendment rights and “threatened the constitutional liberties of millions of military retirees”.
