BREAKING: YES! A federal judge TOSSES OUT the Justice Department's "blatantly unlawful and unethical" grand jury subpoenas against Governor Tim Walz and other Minnesota Democrats in a scathing ruling.
This is deeply embarrassing for Trump...
"Initiating a criminal investigation in order to harass political opponents or to coerce them into taking official action — particularly official action that the federal government cannot directly require those political opponents to take — is a blatantly unlawful and unethical use the grand-jury process,” wrote U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz.
In addition to Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey had been targeted for daring to stand up to Trump's brutal ICE crackdowns in his city. St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her and commissioners in Ramsey and Hennepin counties were also caught in the net.
Judge Schiltz wrote that there is "no doubt" that the Trump-controlled DOJ issued the subpoenas in order to "harass" the President's political enemies so that they might cave and begin supporting his immigration agenda.
“And, of course, this campaign played out against the backdrop of the Trump administration’s well-established history of using criminal investigations to retaliate against and pressure the President’s political and personal adversaries,” added Schiltz, who was appointed by George W. Bush.
The judge is, of course, absolutely right. Trump has weaponized the Justice Department in broad daylight, making no effort hide his corruption of what was once a nonpartisan institution into an apparatus for partisan vengeance. Hell, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is his former personal attorney.
Judge Schiltz pointed to Trump's constant attacks and threats of "retribution" against Walz as proof "beyond reasonable dispute” that the subpoenas “were a part of a broader campaign to coerce state and local officials in Minnesota to assist the Trump administration in its enforcement of immigration laws.”
Once again, we see the courts serving as our last remaining guardrail against all-out MAGA fascism. This judge deserves our thanks and we must urge other courts to follow his lead!
Please ❤️ and share to thank the judge!
Step 1: Remove filters in Reflecting Pool because Obama put them in.
Step 2: Give your criminal neighbor who runs "Greenwater Services" a $20 million no-bid contract to paint the pool.
Step 3: Fill the pool with water from the Potomac River, the phosphates from which cause algae blooms.
Step 4: Freshly sealed pool and extreme heat result in a super scum event
Step 5: Direct National Park Service to dump hydrogen peroxide into the pool which causes the paint to peel.
Step 5: Deploy US National Guard to stop people from taking photos of the swamp as a perfect metaphor for the administration.
Step 6: Blame someone else.
BREAKING: Trump attacks Texas Democrat James Talarico — and gets a FIERY sermon in response that he won’t forget
Donald Trump thought he could score cheap political points by calling James Talarico an “insult to Jesus” because the Texas Democratic Senate candidate is “beyond woke” and believes that God does not discriminate on the basis of gender.
Unfortunately for Dementia Don, he picked the wrong person. Standing in a Black church in Texas, Talarico didn’t just clap back — he delivered a moral reckoning.
“The president of the United States just said that I insulted Jesus,” Talarico began. “You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their health care while cutting taxes for billionaires.”
And that was only just the start.
“You know what insults Jesus?” he continued. “Deporting the stranger and separating babies from their mothers.”
Then he went even further — taking aim at war, corruption, and hypocrisy.
“You know what insults Jesus? Bombing innocent school children in Iran and sending our brave men and women off to die in another forever war… Covering up the Epstein files and then refusing to prosecute a single person in them.”
This wasn’t politics as usual. This was a full-on moral indictment.
Talarico — who has been attacked by Trump for supporting transgender Americans and saying “trans children are God’s children” — flipped the script entirely. Instead of backing down, he grounded his message in the very teachings Trump tried to weaponize.
“I am not a perfect Christian,” he said. “There’s only been one perfect Christian and he was crucified on a cross 2,000 years ago.”
And then came the line that hit hardest: “Jesus told us to love our neighbors as ourselves… Can we imagine war in heaven? Can we imagine bigotry in heaven? Can we imagine poverty in heaven? Then why do we tolerate these things on earth?”
That’s how you respond. Not with insults. Not with fear. But with clarity — and conviction.
Trump tried to smear him. Instead, Talarico delivered a sermon that’s now echoing far beyond that church.
Please like and share James Talarico’s inspiring words!
We're suing the U.S. Department of Energy to stop federal cuts that threaten state energy programs.
Cutting these programs would pull the rug out from efforts to save New Yorkers money on their bills, prepare homes for extreme weather, and move toward clean, affordable energy.
The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.
That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.
