Trump has turned presidential pardons into a shopping experience, with lobbyists openly quoting a going rate of $1 million and a faster “track” if you can corner him at Mar-a-Lago or a White House event.

The US Supreme Court rejecting Trump's attempt to federalize the National Guard to do his bidding is very important. It means if Trump tries to send troops out right before the election to intimidate voters or to seize voting machines, the courts can quickly order that to be illegal.

Supreme Court just handed Trump a major loss—ruling 6–3 that he can’t deploy the National Guard to Chicago.
Won’t stop ICE from kidnapping people, but it’s a huge win for the city.

DOJ's Civil Rights Division under Harmeet Dhillon is seeking a court ruling that D.C.'s law "prohibiting registration of the AR-15 by law-abiding citizens violates the Second Amendment."

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

DOJ - after illegally scrubbing Trump from the Epstein files - is retroactively removing files they missed that would be embarrassing to the President.
It’s a complete affront to Justice.

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).
