Hey #senate here’s something for you to strike out of the bill, the House of Representatives sent to you last week ⬇️ #ruleoflaw #protectthecourts

Jenny Cohn @jennycohn.bsky.social · May 22

F#ck. “A provision ‘hidden’ in the sweeping budget bill that passed the U.S. House on Thursday seeks to limit the ability of courts—including SCOTUS—from enforcing their orders *** The provision ‘would make most existing injunctions…unenforceable,’” per the dean of UC Berkeley Law School. 5/22/25

The provision would bar courts from enforcing contempt citations for violations of injunctions or temporary restraining orders unless a bond has been paid.

Cory Booker just dropped the MARSHALS Act, & it’s a game changer.

This bill would move the U.S. Marshals Service out of the executive branch & place it under the judiciary, where it belongs.

🚨 While protests grow, Senate Republicans are quietly pushing a “pay-to-sue” scheme—forcing people to pay millions before courts can block illegal Trump policies. It’s a direct attack on justice. Tell the Senate: Strip this provision from the budget! #ProtectTheCourts #NoPayToSue

Senate Republicans just introduced a provision in the federal budget bill that would make it nearly impossible for everyday people or public interest groups to quickly stop illegal actions by the…

There is a growing collection of Chicago case dismissals, grand jury no true bills, and possibly jury nullification.

I knew about the Article 3 court pushback in DC, and I'm heartened that the judiciary is also holding in Chicago.

Offering $1M to oppose judges isn’t civic engagement—it’s coercion. Democracy relies on independent courts, not cash incentives. We can’t let justice be auctioned off.

📌It is the beginning of the way out of this terrible mess.

📌We MUST win this election in Wisconsin April 1 to hold the court and send the hideous Elon Musk packing.

BREAKING: Chief Judge Boasberg denies the federal government's effort to vacate the TROs in the Alien Enemies Act case, finding that people the government claims are subject to the proclamation at least have a right to "individualized hearings to determine whether the Act applies to them at all."

The Court need not resolve the thorny question of whether the judiciary has the authority to assess this claim in the first place. That is because Plaintiffs are likely to succeed on another
equally fundamental theory: before they may be deported, they are entitled to individualized hearings to determine whether the Act applies to them at all. As the Government itself concedes, the awesome power granted by the Act may be brought to bear only on those who are, in fact,
"alien enemies." And the Supreme Court and this Circuit have long maintained that federal
courts are equipped to adjudicate that question when individuals threatened with detention and
removal challenge their designation as such. Because the named Plaintiffs dispute that they are
members of Tren de Aragua, they may not be deported until a court has been able to decide the
merits of their challenge. Nor may any members of the provisionally certified class be removed
until they have been given the opportunity to challenge their designations as well. The Motion to
Vacate will thus be denied.

And now I’m getting nervous!!

H.R. 1526 just passed the House. If it becomes law, it strips courts of power to block dangerous, unconstitutional actions nationwide.
This is the last firewall against fascism.
We lose this—we lose the brakes.
