The culture war is a psyop.

While they had you arguing about transgender athletes, they stole your data to surveil you, raised your taxes, gave handouts to their friends, dismantled due process, and started another war.

🚨 BLANCHE SHIELDS TRUMP: In a newly posted order signed by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, the Department of Justice states that the federal government is now permanently barred from pursuing a wide range of tax-related claims and reviews against Donald Trump, his family members, and affiliated companies.

The order says the United States "RELEASES, WAIVES, ACQUITS, and FOREVER DISCHARGES" Trump and is "FOREVER BARRED and PRECLUDED" from pursuing claims, examinations, reviews, appeals, monetary relief, and other actions against Trump and "related or affiliated individuals," including family members, trusts, parent and sister companies, and subsidiaries.

In other words, this appears to grant sweeping protection not just to Trump, but to much of his family and businesses.

The document was signed by Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal criminal defense attorney, who now serves as Acting Attorney General.

"A week ago I mailed a formal disciplinary complaint against Chief Justice John Roberts to the District of Columbia Bar Office of Disciplinary Counsel. The paperwork is at the bottom of this article in full, with my personal information redacted.
I want to answer a few questions, recount what's happened since, and share some resources.
People have asked why the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the rest of the legacy press have stayed quiet on a documented corruption story involving the Chief Justice. Three things worth understanding.
The article has the receipts. Every factual claim is credibly sourced. The underlying reporting was done in pieces over the last decade by Business Insider, Politico, the New York Times, and the ABA Journal. The whistleblower complaint went through Congress. Senator Durbin’s Judiciary Committee received it. The Department of Justice received it. The records have mostly been sitting in the public domain since 2022 and 2023.
The receipts are there. They’ve been there. Anyone who wanted to verify what I wrote could verify it in twenty minutes.
I didn’t uncover something new. I pieced together a decade of public record that had fallen out of the news cycle, applied the statutes to the conduct, and filed paperwork. The synthesis is the contribution and the paperwork is the action.
So why isn’t the mainstream media touching it? Ask them.
What has the activist response been?
Attorneys joined in. Judges joined in. Private citizens joined in. The project got a lot of media. The article hit number one on Reddit.
The thing nobody who runs this system expected was that anyone outside it would do the work. Read the spreadsheets. Apply the statutes. File the paperwork. Treat the disclosure rules like the disclosure rules were meant to be treated. Show up at the post office with a certified mail receipt and put it in the public record.
The men and women running this system built their careers on the assumption that nobody was paying attention. That the forms would go unread. That the recusals would go uncounted. That the statutes would sit on the shelf. That the institutions would cover for each other and no one outside would notice the arrangement.
We noticed.
We noticed the ten million dollars documented and the eleven million more estimated. The sixteen years of false characterizations. The hidden equity stake. The Code of Conduct written to fail and the justices who signed affidavits for no one. The Judicial Conference that won’t refer and the Senate that won’t impeach and the Attorney General who won’t prosecute. We noticed every institution pointing at every other institution and shrugging.
You don’t need to be licensed or in good standing as a member of the bar association to sit on the Supreme Court, so why bother?
Will John Roberts be disbarred? Maybe. We are stress testing their system. It’s our turn to flood the zone. It’s our turn to decide the news cycles. And who knows, maybe Chief Justice Roberts will achieve his dream of being in the history books. It will just be as the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to have his law license revoked.
Further, think of accountability like the four minute mile. On May 6, 1954, a British medical student named Roger Bannister ran the first sub-four-minute mile. Before he did it, even scientists said it was humanly impossible. Today, it is common even among high school athletes. I mention this because something changes inside us when we watch the impossible happen. Something that changes everything. Because once we stop telling ourselves it is impossible, we start to make it more possible. When we show that these people are not above accountability, the more cunning rats will flee, the most aggressive turn on each other, and the true believers go down with the ship.
The point is, we restore justice by relentlessly pursuing it.
So we pursued it.
The complaint I submitted is below in full. You're welcome to read it, share it, or put it on every car windshield wiper within a 5 block radius of the United States Supreme Court Chambers. Chase your bliss, even if that bliss takes the form of printing copies of this filing and placing it upon any doors of whatever Bar Association happens to be headquartered at 901 4th St NW Suite 700, Washington, DC 20001. Who am I to tell you what you should or shouldn't do on a Monday right before lunch break, which would arguably be the best time to make sure the flyers are seen.
What I do endorse is filing your own complaint with the DC Bar Office of Disciplinary Counsel at 515 Fifth Street NW, Building A, Room 117, Washington DC 20001. Do it in your own words. The facts are in the filing listed below as well as in the original article, which is hyperlinked within this sentence. The statutes to cite are 28 U.S.C. § 455, 5 U.S.C. § 13106, and 18 U.S.C. § 1001. The rule is DC Rule of Professional Conduct 8.4(c).
This is happening because we are making it happen. Movement creates energy. Energy creates heat. Enough heat and you can reshape the outdated and corrupt 250 year-old steel. We are the heat. We are the pressure. We are the changemakers."
We also need ten subscribers per article. If you want this work to continue, for everyone, we need you.

The New York Times recently published leaked Supreme Court memos from 2016, when a majority of justices voted to block the Obama administration's Clean Power Plan before any lower court had ruled on it. Chief Justice Roberts argued the EPA regulations would cause "irreparable harm" through a "substantial and irreversible reordering of the domestic power sector."

It was the wrong standard - the lower court hadn't been given a chance to rule. And it was applied with no consideration of the harm the Obama administration would suffer from having its major policy blocked.

Now read that against the second Trump administration's record on the same emergency docket. The Trump administration has filed a record number of shadow docket applications and has won 80 percent of the time. The Court has allowed, through this process with little or no written reasoning, mass layoffs at the Education Department, racial profiling in immigration sweeps, and the termination of legal immigration status for hundreds of thousands of people.

The "irreparable harm" standard Roberts applied in 2016 - that delay in implementing a desired policy causes sufficient harm to justify emergency intervention - is precisely what he applied to the Obama climate rule. The same standard has since been applied to Trump administration policies that, by any measure, have produced a far greater reordering of American institutions than anything the Clean Power Plan envisioned.

The memos reveal something simple: the standard was not principled in 2016. The record since then confirms it still isn't.

Don't piss on our boots and tell us it's raining: under their bullshit legalese, the far-right Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act today.

Another disastrous decision brought to you by the court Susan Collins built, one terrible confirmation vote after another.

It is INSANE to me that the trump regime is prosecuting James Comey for a picture of seashells, after trump PARDONED guys who chanted "hang Mike Pence" on January 6th, and actually brought a noose.

Not prosecuting pedophiles.
Not prosecuting rapists.

Prosecuting former FBI Director James Comey.
Total clown show.

[Harry Sisson @harryjsisson]

Hey @TheJusticeDept I have another one for you to indict

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

Roberts's 2016 memo blocked the Obama climate rule because policy delay = irreparable harm. He gave zero weight to the Obama administration's interest in implementing its own policy.

The Trump administration has now won 80% of emergency docket applications under the same standard - for mass layoffs, immigration sweeps, and termination of legal status for hundreds of thousands.

The memos didn't reveal a new standard. They confirmed the old one was never principled to begin with.
