Judge William Young’s opinion reads like a mini-novel (based only on having read the first and last pages so far).

In light of the felon’s speech at the Pentagon today — its significance is all the more great. Fu*k Donald Trump and God bless America.

Post card dated June 19, 2025 (On file in Chambers) 19S4vE 2025 TRUMP HAS PARDONS AND TANKS.. WHAT DO YOU HAVE Dear Mr. or Ms. Anonymous, Alone, I have nothing but my sense of duty. Together, We the People of the United States -- you and me --have our magnificent Constitution. Here's how that works out in a specific case -- UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS A hearing on remedy will promptly be scheduled. BY THE COURT, /s/ William G. Young WILLIAM G. YOUNG JUDGE of the UNITED STATES (65) I hope you found this helpful. Thanks for writing. It shows you care. You should. Sincerely & respectfully, Bill Young P.S. The next time you're in Boston [the postmark on the card is from the Philadelphia area] stop in at the Courthouse and watch your fellow citizens, sitting as jurors, reach out for justice. It is here, and in courthouses just like this one, both state and federal, spread throughout our land that our Constitution is most vibrantly alive, for it is well said that "Where a jury sits, there burns the lamp of liberty." (65) This is how my predecessor, Peleg Sprague (D. Mass. 1841-1865), would sign official documents. Now that I'm a Senior District Judge I adopt this format in honor of all the judicial colleagues, state and federal, with whom I have had the privilege to serve over the past 47 years.

He’s circumventing the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019 — which ensured federal workers would receive back pay after any future government shutdowns — a law he signed. Snake Oil Felon

Make sure everyone knows: these mass firings are NOT because of the shutdown.

Trump doesn’t have to fire any of these people—he’s choosing to do it as an intimidation tactic.

Difficult to overstate how stupid and reckless this is.
Mass CDC cuts hit staff dealing with measles, Ebola and disease forecasting
Another round of mass layoffs has struck CDC. The agency had already been cut during a reorganization this year, and more employees are now being shed amid the government shutdown.

I’m signing SB 41 to lower health care costs for all Californians.

Alongside the 2025 budget and CalRx, this bill marks the most aggressive effort in the nation to drive down prescription drug prices, boost transparency, and ensure savings reach consumers and families.

Patel showed up alone for the House, but Pro-Pedo Pam was a no show.

She then showed up alone for Senate hearing but refused to answer questions, telling them to ask Patel.

In the case over Trump's National Guard deployment in and to Illinois, the Seventh Circuit grants a similar partial administrative stay while it considers DOJ's stay pending appeal:

The court stays the TRO's coverage of the federalization but denies the stay as to the TRO blocking deployment.
The following are before the court: 1. EMERGENCY MOTION FOR STAY PENDING APPEAL AND IMMEDIATE ADMINISTRATIVE STAY, filed on October 10, 2025, by counsel for the appellants. 2. RESPONSE TO EMERGENCY MOTION FOR STAY PENDING APPEAL AND IMMEDIATE ADMINISTRATIVE STAY, filed on October 11, 2025, by counsel for the appellees. IT IS ORDERED that appellants’ request for an administrative stay is GRANTED as to the federalization of the National Guard and DENIED as to the deployment of the National Guard. Pending a decision on the request for a stay pending appeal, the district court’s October 9, 2025, order is temporarily STAYED only to the extent it enjoined the federalization of the National Guard of the United States within Illinois.

There’s enough real dirt on Trump without folks pretending this edited photo is him w/ Bondi & Epstein.
