A magistrate judge denied Law Dork's intervention in the Minnesota refugee case. We objected Wednesday.
I had to post the filing online so you could read it. Otherwise, you'd need to go to the actual courthouse in Minnesota to do so.
It shouldn't be like that for any of the filings in the case.
Doesn't mention the Mark Zaid appeal. DOJ wanted to litigate that before the others, and opposed consolidating the cases. Are they dropping them so they can go after Zaid alone? storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Trump's lawsuit against JPMorgan for "debanking" him after J6 was filed in "IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE ELEVENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT IN AND FOR MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA" by Alex Brito. Shouldn't it be in district court first @kenwhite.bsky.social? www.foxbusiness.com/politics/tru...
ok so I’ve come up with the perfect defense for Greenland

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.
Trump managed to get his frivolous lawsuit against pollster Ann Selzer dismissed from federal court so he can proceed in Polk County, Iowa court.

HUGE THING:
100,000 people volunteered for Mamdani. 1000s volunteering for the FIRST TIME. And they just won BIG.
So that's a massive army of progressives HUNGRY to keep on winning.
That's worth more than all the billionaires' money.
We're going to keep working.
And we're going to keep winning.
I've been trying to get people to call them Stupid, Obvious Lies for years. Lies like Mexico will pay for the Wall, or Foreign Countries pay Tariffs.
This isn't new, by the way. Trump and his minions wanted an "antifa" Black Bloc to show up and fight with cops on Jan. 6, 2021. If that had happened, he would have then called out the National Guard to a) arrest leftists and b) shut down the Capitol and prevent the election from being certified

Donald Trump lost his lawsuit against Bob Woodward and Simon and Schuster in July, but he's back with a motion to file a third amended complaint.

A letter to the appellate court in the Trump tariff case, reading: "Dear Mr. Perlow: On July 27, after stating his intention to impose IEEPA tariffs, President Trump announced the largest trade agreement in history with the 27-nation European Union, America’s most significant trading partner. See Alex Gangitano, Trump, EU’s von der Leyen strike trade deal for 15 percent tariffs, The Hill (July 27, 2025). President Trump entered historic agreements with Indonesia, the Philippines, and Japan on July 22; and with the United Kingdom on May 8. These agreements support our request for a stay if the Court affirms. Opening Br.5, 54-60; Reply Br.27-30. Suddenly revoking the President’s tariff authority under IEEPA would have catastrophic consequences for our national security, foreign policy, and economy. The President believes that our country would not be able to pay back the trillions of dollars that other countries have already committed to pay, which could lead to financial ruin. Other tariff authorities that the President could potentially use are short-term, not nearly as powerful, and would render America captive to the abuses that it has endured from far more aggressive countries. There is no substitute for the tariffs and deals that President Trump has made. One year ago, the United States was a dead country, and now, because of the trillions of dollars being paid by countries that have so badly abused us, America is a strong, financially viable, and respected country again. If the United States were forced to pay back the trillions of dollars committed to us, America could go from strength to failure the moment such an incorrect decision took effect.

"These deals for trillions of dollars have been reached, and other countries have committed to pay massive sums of money. If the United States were forced to unwind these historic agreements, the President believes that a forced dissolution of the agreements could lead to a 1929-style result. In such a scenario, people would be forced from their homes, millions of jobs would be eliminated, hard-working Americans would lose their savings, and even Social Security and Medicare could be threatened. In short, the economic consequences would be ruinous, instead of unprecedented success.

D. John Sauer

The *solicitor general* filed this, over his own name. The court is up to speed on trade issues, and will see through this crap immediately--total US imports are about $4 trillion, for example, so "trillions" at stake is a wildly dumb claim.

One thing I’ve learned from watching and reporting on how the news ecosystem works on YouTube and other social media platforms is that you can and probably should just repeat your same reporting over and over again to make it really stick

i don't mean to come off as rude but we cannot sustain ourselves on outrage and anger forever. i think it's even more important now to post about other things too. even if it gets less engagement. you never know who will find it cool and interesting.
You guys are doing good work and I’m happy to support it. I’m pissed off that the login button doesn’t work half the time on mobile, and having to click “I don’t support Rolling Stone” or be subjected to endless pop up ads.
6/21, Los Angeles: A neighborhood volunteer documenting ICE was stopped by agents in an unmarked car, surrounded, and threatened by masked agents while they filmed him on their phones.
Question for immigration lawyers: At this point, should anyone with an appointment with immigration services have a lawyer with a habeas petition ready to submit to the nearest Article III judge? So ICE doesn't have time to ship them out of state before it's filed? Any reason not to? #LawSky
Many of the LA Sheriffs didn't have their gas masks on yet so the Sheriffs got gassed by LAPD
LAPD was on the radio crying about getting shot by rubber bullets by the sheriffs, so I'd say fair trade
Typical level of professional policing for Los Angeles. Waiting for CHP to join the fun.

Trump looking absolutely inconsolable at his fascist-themed 79th birthday party which no one turned up to other than those who had to because he's their boss.
