YES!!! COURT OF APPEALS TELLS TRUMP "TALK TO THE HAND" IN KENNEDY CENTER APPEAL! We all remember when Trump lost his bid to keep his name on the Kennedy Center. And of course he appealed it to the Court of Appeals.

SPANK!! JUDGE LAYS INTO TRUMP DOJ OVER FULTON COUNTY SUBPOENA Hats off to Judge William Ray II for his *blistering* takedown of Trump's DOJ in their effort to circumvent the law by having a grand jury issue a subpoena for the *private* information of Fulton County's election workers.
WOOT!! COURT TELLS CIA THAT THEY MAY NOT FIRE PEOPLE WILLY-NILLY! While slowly turn the wheels of justice, they *do* turn! In February of *last year*, right after Trump started unleashing his hell-hounds, including the odious EO... aiming straight at the heart of DEI...
ABOUT THE 'EDDY ARAGON' EMAIL, EPSTEIN'S ZORRO RANCH, AND THE CURRENT STATUS: ARE THERE BODIES BURIED AT ZORRO RANCH? You’ve probably heard the name Eddy Aragon. He is the New Mexico talk show host who received an anonymous email claiming to have several videos of Epstein having sex with minors.
ON THE OBSERVANCE OF OUR 250TH YEAR, I OFFER YOU HOPE Two days ago, July 2nd, was the 250th anniversary of the vote taken by our founding fathers to separate from Great Britain.
I JUST FOUND THE AUDIO OF DETECTIVE RECAREY'S INTERVIEW OF VIRGINIA - IT'S EVEN MORE HORRIFYING BECAUSE OF HOW SHE EXCUSES EPSTEIN :~( In 2006 Palm Beach Detective Joseph Recarey interviewed Virginia Giuffre as part of the investigation that the department was conducting into Jeffrey Epstein.
YES!!! FEDERAL COURT BLOCKS POST OFFICE'S PROPOSED "GIVE US YOUR MAIL-IN VOTER ROLLS" RULES! Remember how I told you that I was confident that lawsuits would be filed over the USPS' proposed rule, as triggered by Trump's executive order...

YES!!! BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP UPHELD!! Today the Supreme Court decisively upheld birthright citizenship for *all* babies born in these United States, subject to the very few exceptions articulated in the Constitution.
UNDERSTANDING THE SEEMINGLY OPPOSITE SUPREME COURT FTC FIRING AND FED "NO FIRING" DECISIONS You would be forgiven if you are confused by the seemingly opposite twin decisions that the Supreme Court handed down today regarding a president's right to fire whomever the heck he wants.
YES!!! SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS COUNTING BALLOTS POSTMARKED BY ELECTION DAY! The Supreme Court today upheld state laws allowing mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day - but which are *postmarked* by Election Day - to be counted.

YOU KNOW HOW I SAID THAT TODD BLANCHE WAS HAVING A BAD WEEK? WELL IT JUST GOT WORSE! First it was the court smacking Blanche for trying to say that the weaponization fund issue was moot. Then another court spanked Blanche for his failure to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
WOOT!! COURT SPANKS BLANCHE OVER FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH EPSTEIN FILES ACT - ISSUES INJUNCTION!! Todd Blanche is having a bad week. First, as I told you yesterday, they lost the lawsuit over the executive order that was a clone of the failed SAVE Act.
NO! THE SUPREME COURT DID NOT JUST ALLOW PEOPLE TO BRING GUNS ONTO YOUR PRIVATE PROPERTY WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION! Today the Supreme Court handed down a decision about guns.
YES!!! JUDGE ISSUES *PERMANENT* INJUNCTION AGAINST TRUMP'S EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT MIRRORED THE SAVE ACT What a great day! First 101 former judges ask the New York State bar to punish Todd Blanche (ok, that actually happened yesterday afternoon but I wrote it up today).

WOW! I HAVE THE TRANSCRIPT OF TED WAITT'S TESTIMONY TO THE HOUSE ABOUT EPSTEIN AND MAXWELL - SO MANY REVEALS! What, you don't know who Ted Waitt is? Don't worry, you're not alone. He was the founder and CEO of Gateway Computers (remember them, with their cow-themed marketing materials?).
HOLY COW! YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE THIS JUDGE'S TAKEDOWN OF THE DOJ OVER THEIR SUBPOENAS TO MINNESOTA OFFICIALS! He is *pissed* and it's like the ultimate NIMBY (in a good way)!
NO!! THE NOW-NOTORIOUS "OLMSTEAD MEMO" DOES *NOT* MEAN THE DOJ IS GOING TO INSTITUTIONALIZE DISABLED PEOPLE!! This is what happens when people with little or no knowledge of the law and how it works get ahold of something and decide to interpret it for their followers. Fear and chaos.
ABOUT TODAY'S SUPREME COURT (IN)ACTION IN THE ARKANSAS VOTING RIGHTS CASE You may have heard about an action that the Supreme Court took today regarding the Voting Rights Act. I say "action" very specifically, because it wasn't a decision, and it wasn't even really an action. They denied cert.
