Donald J. Trump ® © @realDonald Trump Wacko James Carville, a so-called Democrat "strategist," wants the Democrats to make D.C. and Puerto Rico States and, most importantly, pack the Supreme Court, putting 13 Justices on the Court. ... They are already doing great with the Supreme Court, however. The Democrat Justices stick together like glue, totally loyal to the people and ideology that got them there. They are an immovable force, and there is nothing that can be done to change that. Frankly, I respect that, a lot! Certain Republican Appointees let the Democrats push them around, always wanting to be popular, politically correct, or even worse, wanting to show how "independent" they are, with very little loyalty to the man who appointed them or, more importantly, the ideology from which they came to be Nominated and Confirmed. Everyone knows that, as an example, Birthright Citizenship, which is Unconditional and Absent from any other developed or successful Country, is a disaster for the United States of America. No Country can be successful with such an anchor wrapped firmly around its neck but, based on the questioning by Republican Nominated Justices that I watched firsthand in the Court, we lose. As another example, if the Supreme Court put in one sentence stating that any money paid in Tariffs to the United States of America, to this point, does not have to be returned (to many people who hate our Country!), they would have saved American Taxpayers a minimum of $159 Billion Dollars. All they had to do was read the Dissent, written by Justice Kavanaugh, it was a close call, it wasn't a 9-0 decision - What a difference it would have made for our Country. I put certain people on the United States Supreme Court who totally misrepresented who they were, and the true ideology for which they stand! President DONALD J.

Donald J. Trump 0 & @realDonald Trump How can the Democrats not like how the U.S. Supreme Court votes. The Democrat Justices stick together like glue, NEVER failing to wander from the warped and perverse policies, ideas, and cases put before them. They ALWAYS vote as a group, or BLOCK, even that new, Low IQ person, that somehow found her way to the bench (Sleepy Joe!). The Republican Justices don't stick together, they give the Democrats win after win, like a 159 Billion Dollar pile of cash on a completely ridiculous Tariff decision, and nasty, one sided questions on the country destroying subject of Birthright Citizenship, something which virtually NO OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD IS STUPID ENOUGH TO ALLOW. It was meant for the babies of slaves, not for the babies of Chinese Billionaires. No, certain "Republican" Justices have just gone weak, stupid, and bad, completely violating what they "supposedly" stood for. Handing over 159 Billion Dollars in Tariff refunds to people who have been Ripping Off our Country for years, is unexplainable. One little sentence would have stoped this record setting payment from having to be made. It is a travesty! Their Tariff decision was an unnecessary and expensive slap in the face to the U.S.A., and a giant victory for its opponents. If they rule against our Country on Birthright Citizenship, which they probably will, it will be even worse, if that's possible. It will cost America massive amounts of money but, more importantly, it will cost America its DIGNITY! No, the Radical Left Democrats don't need to "Pack the Court," it's already Packed!

Donald J. Trump & € @realDonald Trump A RIGGED ELECTION TOOK PLACE LAST NIGHT IN THE GREAT COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA! All day long Republicans were winning, the Spirit was unbelievable, until the very end when, of course, there was a massive "Mail In Ballot Drop!" Where have I heard that before — And the Democrats eked out another Crooked Victory! Six to five goes to ten to one, and yet the Presidential Election in November was very close to a 50-50 split. In addition to everything else, the language on the Referendum was purposefully unintelligible and deceptive. As everyone knows, I am an extraordinarily brilliant person, and even I had no idea what the hell they were talking about in the Referendum, and neither do they! Let's see if the Courts will fix this travesty of "Justice." President DONALD J. TRUMP 3.94k ReTruths 13.9k Likes Apr 22, 2026, 1:34 PM

Oh, they do keep getting shorter.

But, stepping back, it is astounding to think about the fact that Johnson, Thune, Thomas, and Alito, as well as often Roberts, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett, just go along with this man.

Historically embarrassing and presently horrifying.

Here’s the 5th Circuit’s opinion openly and directly defying an on-point Supreme Court precedent that prohibits the display of the 10 Commandments in public school classrooms.

Shameless defiance of SCOTUS, but we’ll see if the supermajority cares. txvalues.org/wp-content/u...

You can’t do that to rural voters! What are they, black people? bsky.app/profile/coll...

Neither the Constitution nor any federal statute expressly preempts Hencely’s suit. The Supremacy Clause requires state law to yield only when it conflicts with rights or restrictions that stem from the Constitution or a valid federal statute or treaty. Kansas v. Garcia, 589 U. S. 191, 202. Here, no constitutional provision or federal statute expressly preempts Hencely’s suit. And the Court has already held that the FTCA’s combatant-activities exception does not itself apply to suits against federal contractors.

The Supreme Court's second and FINAL decision is Hencely v. Fluor. By a 6–3 vote, with Thomas writing, the court holds that a service member's lawsuit against a military contractor is NOT preempted by federal law and can move forward. This is a great outcome!

Trump just called Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson a "Low IQ person." He has a long history of calling women of color dumb or 'low IQ'.

This is an indispensable summary of the indictment, the history of the SPLC, and all the context and circumstances surrounding the claims.

“Bryan Fair, the interim president and chief executive officer of SPLC, said in a video statement released before the indictment was out, ‘We are … unsurprised to be the latest organization targeted by this admin. They have made no secret of who they want to protect and who they want to destroy.’”

“The idea that donors were defrauded by the existence of one program that’s been known about for 45 years and that had cost the organization just a minuscule portion of its budget in any given year is an unbelievable stretch.”

what a vile pig. Hopefully the courts can intervene. Or else send Trump to either of those countries; I’m sure they will find creative ways to…handle him.

Judge Boasberg investigating criminal contempt in 2028

HOW 3 TRUMP-APPOINTED JUDGES HAVE STOPPED JUDGE BOASBERG FROM PROBING POSSIBLE CRIMINAL CONTEMPT FOR 363 DAYS Apr 16 Judge Boasberg finds probable cause to believe criminal contempt was committed, but gives govt a chance to “purge” the contempt Apr 17 Govt petitions for stay and mandamus (a type of emergency appeal) Apr 18 Trump-appointed Judges Katsas & Rao impose an “administrative” stay. Judge Pillard dissents. Such stays, which provide no reasoning & are unappealable, are only supposed to last a week or so, if that. But this one lasts 112 days. Jun 24 Former DOJ atty Erez Reuveni unveils whistleblower letter alleging that on 3/14/25 then Principal Asst DAG Emil Bove told DOJ attys they might have to say “fuck you” to judges—the day before DOJ & DHS failed to follow Boasberg’s order to turn CECOT-bound planes around. Aug 8 Katsas & Rao each grant mandamus, though neither joins the other’s theory. Pillard dissents. Aug 29 Same panel stays its own ruling and reinstates the administrative stay pending resolution of petition for rehearing en banc.

Nov 14 Petition for rehearing en banc is denied, but administrative stay is dissolved. Six of 11 judges explain, in statements, that Boasberg can resume fact-finding for possible contempt because changes on the ground have rendered Rao’s theory of mandamus inoperative. Dec 8 Judge Boasberg sets evidentiary hearing on contempt for Dec. 15 Dec 12 Govt petitions for second mandamus Dec 12 New administrative stay entered by Trump-appointed Judges Rao & Walker. Judge Childs dissents. 2026 Apr 14 Judge Rao and Walker grant mandamus; Judge Childs dissents. Second administrative stay lasted 123 days. Total delay since Judge Boasberg’s order so far: 363 days.

How 3 Trump-appointed judges have prevented Judge Boasberg from probing top DHS & DOJ officials (including a now fourth Trump-appointed judge, Emil Bove) for possible criminal contempt for 363 days.

At Patel’s request or encouragement, NAF provided the Biden DOJ with substantial information that aided in identifying investigation targets and substantiating warrants and

prosecutions. 53 NAF alerted Patel to social media posts that made violent threats against clinics54 and concerns about protest activities that could constitute blockades in violation of the FACE Act. 55 In the Handy matter, Patel emailed NAF: “I can’t recall if you ever shared anything with me (either through an attachment or via Dropbox) about Jonathan Darnell’s arrest . . . If you did, can you resend that to me?” 56

53 See, e.g., E-mail from Patel, to Megan Healy (Nov. 16, 2020) (Exhibit 040) (“NAF is obtaining the security video from the vandalism for me.”). 54 E-mail from Patel, to Emma Goldberg (NAF) (Apr. 12, 2021) (Exhibit 041) (flagging that Patel forwarded the information to the FBI immediately and noting that he was “designated as the DOJ National FACE Act Task force director” and wanted to call about exploring outreach initiatives). 55 E-mail from Fleisher, to Patel (Aug. 18, 2020) (Exhibit 042) (responding to a NAF alert about Handy’s pro-life activities in Washington, D.C., a CRT attorney asked NAF to let him know “[i]f she actually ends up causing any obstruction,” and noted that while he could not speak for the Criminal Section, “we on the civil side might be interested in looking further”); E-mail from Davidson, to [Redacted], FBI (Jan. 30, 2021) (Exhibit 043) (alerting DOJ to Handy’s activities in Maryland). 56 E-mail from Patel, to Davidson (Dec. 8, 2020) (Exhibit 044).

In its "weaponization" report on the FACE Act, DOJ once again struggles to answer the most difficult question of all: who was president in 2020? www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justi...

This report on the “Biden Administration’s Weaponization of the FACE Act” repeatedly cites conduct that occurred…during the first Trump administration.

Days after the president blasted the Pope as “weak on Crime,” his own DOJ moved to dismiss criminal cases against individuals convicted of conspiring to use force to prevent the peaceful transfer of power.

Pope Leo XIV on Saturday called on world leaders to reject war as a means of settling their differences, urging a global commitment to peace.

The next administration must take the lesson of this one; every single immigration judge hired under Trump 2.0 must be fired on day one.

ICE has been really good at catching wind of these unannounced visits in other cities recently and flying all the captured migrants out beforehand.

But not today. Well done catching them, Congresswoman. We should expect that all of the detention centers are this bad when they aren’t tipped off.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Energy prices that spiked due to war in Iran push inflation to the biggest increase in four years.

The sharply conservative Supreme Court that Trump's three appointees remade is the first since at least the 1950s to reject civil rights claims in a majority of cases involving women and minorities, according to a detailed analysis conducted for The Washington Post.

ICE just released new detention statistics. First update in about 2 months.

As of April 4, 2026, ICE was detaining 60,311 people across the United States.
