Big Balls was our youngest engineer @DOGE, is a genuine genius, and now has demonstrated extraordinary bravery in the face of violent crime. What a patriot.
The D.C. Circuit released a significant opinion today in one of the earliest major @DOGE cases--the litigation over the reduction of USAID. It's another big legal win for @realDonaldTrump and @DOGE. It also has broader implications, as I'll explain. 1/
BREAKING: @AGPamBondi and SG John Sauer have filed an emergency application in the Supreme Court regarding their huge win in the USAID impoundment case, which we discussed previously. This is a big deal, as I'll explain. 1/
The district judges in New Jersey are thinking about replacing @realDonaldTrump’s chosen US Attorney—@USAttyHabba—with someone the judges choose under a statute purporting to give them that power. But if the judges attempt that move, it should fail. Here’s why. 1/
Scoop: President Donald Trump has full confidence in Alina Habba, the Deputy U.S. Attorney General has told New Jersey U.S. District Court Chief Judge Renee Bumb. The call from DOJ to the judge came in advance of a judicial meeting on Monday AM.

Lets talk (again) about two tiers of justice. On Friday a judge enjoined the @FTC from investigating Media Matters, finding the investigation likely violates the First Amendment. This isn't just immunity from prosecution; it's immunity from *investigation.* Unpacked below. 1/
On the heels of DC attempting to disbar @JeffClarkUS, a dark money group has escalated further--filing bar complaints against little-known lawyers who defend the Administration in court. This is a frontal assault on the Executive Branch. It must be defeated at all costs. 1/
Some lower court judges seems determined to burn down the village in order to save it, seemingly oblivious that destroying vertical stare decisis will destroy the judiciary generally. Lets review the latest missive in lower court judges' war on the Supreme Court. 1/
🚨EXCLUSIVE:
Federal judges tell NBC News the Supreme Court has got to do a better job of explaining emergency rulings, with frequent decisions in favor of Trump at least appearing to validate harsh criticism of the judiciary at a time of rising threats:
Another emergency filing in the Supreme Court last night by @TheJusticeDept, this time because a district court has commandeered immigration enforcement in Los Angeles. There are multiple serious issues here, and emergency relief seems proper. 1/
Another win for @TheJusticeDept before the Supreme Court--this time on whether district courts can enjoin the termination of grants that conflict with the Administration's anti-DEI policies. Lots of interesting opinions, worth a brief discussion. 1/
All eyes on the Southern District of Florida and its newly confirmed US Attorney Jason Reding Quinones. Given various setbacks in DC during Trump 45, the extraordinarily lopsided beltway jury pool, and the factual connection to Palm Beach--SD Fla is a logical place for DOJ to
Fox News reporting that AG Pam Bondi today signed a one-page order directing an unnamed federal prosecutor to bring Russiagate conspiracy evidence to a grand jury. This is in response to criminal referrals sent last month to DOJ by DNI Tulsi Gabbard.
I worked closely with @JeffClarkUS in both Trump Administrations. This is an outrageous weaponization of the bar ethics process--one that could be turned against any lawyer serving in government at any time. All steps must be taken to push back.
JUST IN: The Trump administration is going on offense against three members of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting who have not left their posts despite Trump's attempt to fire them.
The lawsuit seeks a court order to oust them.

Another important stay filing this evening by @AGPamBondi and SG John Sauer. This application is the next in an unfortunately growing line of @TheJusticeDept efforts to force lower courts to follow the Supreme Courts decisions. 1/
