The Constitutional Showdown Has Arrived

All the news you missed this week, including: Trump has set his sights on watchdog groups and nonprofits, seeking to punish them by removing their tax exempt status. Also, Kilmar Abrego Garcia meets with Senator Van Hollen in what is almost certainly a photo op meant to downplay the severity of the conditions in CECOT. Also, the Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments in the birthright citizenship case, which should give us all cause for concern!! 🥐 Thank you Wildgrain for sponsoring.

With Judge Boasberg finding probable cause to hold the Trump administration in contempt of court and Judge Xinis, who's presiding over the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, eyeing sanctions as well, there is no doubt that the Trump administration has openly defied court orders at this point. What remains unknown is what happens next. We are all watching with bated breath to see if the Trump administration respects any judicial authority at all, or if we have reached a point where judicial orders no longer hold any sway over the regime. Something tells me it will be a secret, but also bad, third thing.   Go to https://ground.news/Leeja to stay fully informed on US Politics and see all sides of every story.

Tariff's reciprocal tariffs were announced last week, with the 10% base tariff going into effect last Friday. The news sent the market into a tailspin, the S&P 500 has almost entered bear territory, 401ks are losing dramatic value, billionaires lost billions, and no one is happy. Except for Trump and his own personal Rasputin, Peter Navarro, the architect behind Trump's tariff plan and trade wars. How did we get here, and WHY?

WilmerHale is the latest elite law firm to suffer Trump's wrath. After law firm Paul, Weiss capitulated to Trump earlier this month, it seems clear his goal to target lawyers and firms he sees as his political enemies has only just begun. The end result will be lawyers unable to practice law, and Trump's political enemies will have no legal representation once he has scared all major firms into submission.

Signalgate, the Signal thread heard round the world, a major national security leak, happened because of the ineptitude of Trump's national intelligence officials but instead they're blaming... the journalist, Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic, who caught them. This is just the latest in Trump's ramping up of attacks on news media. Today's hearing on PBS and NPR funding didn't help. For leaders who want their actions to remain in the dark, journalists are the enemy, to the detriment of all of us.

Democratic infighting has reached a fever pitch after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer did an about face and voted in favor of a GOP spending bill, averting a government shutdown and enraging his fellow Democrats. In the days since the upset, Schumer has been on the defensive, proving over and over again that the man doesn't know how to talk to the American public and has absolutely no clue how to solve the ongoing messaging problem plaguing the Democrats.  Go to https://ground.news/Leeja to stay fully informed on US Politics and see all sides of every story.

A doctor and Brown college professor forcibly deported to Lebanon, 261 Venezuelan immigrants spirited away in the night to an El Salvador mega prison. Both times the government acted contrary to explicit judicial orders. And in both cases the Trump Administration is denying any wrongdoing. The judicial branch is the last bulwark against complete constitutional collapse, and the Trump administration showed us this weekend that it is ready to openly defy judicial orders to carry out its mass deportation agenda.

Trump posing with Elon Musk in front of a line of Teslas on the White House lawn is the just the latest and most blatant act of corruption for a president whose entire tenure has been rife with unprecedented levels of self-dealing, quid pro quos, and personal enrichment. Turns out a lot of our democracy has been based upon ideals that are unenforceable in the face of a megalomaniac hell bent on power. PDS Debt is offering a free debt analysis.

Columbia graduate student and pro-Palestine protestor Mahmoud Khalil was arrested by ICE agents, taken with no warrant, and detained for the better part of 48 hours without communicating his whereabouts to his pregnant wife or his legal team. This marks a profound escalation in Trump's efforts to undermine the due process rights of immigrants.
