They’re not even trying to hide their goal. President Trump wants to deny eligible Americans the right to vote and participate in our democracy so that Republicans can cling to power.

[FloridaSun @FloridaSun777]

@sarrah_bellus Wow what an entitled young person. She has a warped view of the world and the White House.

[FloridaSun @FloridaSun777]

@AntiToxicPeople Tommy, Trump is never going to make you Speaker. Your blind ambition made you sell out your moral compass and let down the Minnesotans who voted for you. Time to vote him out of office in Nov.

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

I won’t call Tom Emmer, a racist or an Islamophobe. I will just call him a vile human being.

Many don’t know @KatiePhang is an accomplished lawyer in her own right.

Let’s all cheer her on her case against Todd Blanche 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Ho-lee-shit!!!

Thanks to journalist Katie Phang and Trump's corrupt and incompetent acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, the Epstein files are about to explode into one of the biggest scandals in American history.

A federal judge dropped a bombshell ruling Thursday, ordering the Justice Department to stop protecting explosive documents that the Trump administration has desperately fought to keep hidden from the public.

U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan slammed the DOJ, siding with Katie Phang in the first-ever lawsuit enforcing the Epstein Files Transparency Act — a bill that passed Congress with near-unanimous support in 2025.

Now Acting AG Todd Blanche is forced to explain why he's been illegally blocking the release of shocking material, including:

ㆍ Names redacted from emails referencing a "torture video" and sexual activity with minors

ㆍ Identities of co-conspirators listed in a draft federal indictment

ㆍ FBI interview notes from a victim who says Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump when she was just 13 years old — and that Trump assaulted her

Instead of doing his job, Blanche arrogantly claimed the court had zero authority to even hear the case. That gamble just blew up in his face.

When you refuse to contest the allegations in federal court, those allegations are legally admitted. Judge Sullivan called it straight:

"The Attorney General has conceded that he is in violation of the Act."

Blanche also never reviewed foreign-language documents in the files and has blown past the legal deadline (December 19, 2025) to explain his shady redactions — by more than six months.

This ruling is massive because the original transparency law had no real teeth. Katie Phang's legal team cleverly used the Administrative Procedure Act to crack the door wide open. Now any journalist, researcher, or watchdog can walk through it.

The judge flat-out rejected the DOJ's excuses. "There is no competing harm to the government” from simply following the law," he wrote.

@ReallyAmerican1 Emmer is a racist and bigot! Vote him out of office.

[Tim Walz @Tim_Walz]

Imagine flushing your reputation down the toilet for the privilege of being Donald Trump’s skin tag.

What an embarrassment to my home state of Minnesota, to the House of Representatives, to fundamental facts and decency

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

More than 100 former federal and state judges are demanding an ethics investigation into Todd Blanche for allegedly abusing his Justice Department authority for political retaliation. They say his actions violated his oath of office and undermined the integrity of federal prosecutions. The complaint argues that Blanche’s conduct represents a serious threat to the rule of law and requires formal disciplinary review.
If the New York Bar finds the allegations valid, Todd Blanche could face anything from formal sanctions to a full suspension of his law license, and in the most serious scenario he could be disbarred entirely. It wouldn’t mean jail time, but it would be a career‑ending outcome for a lawyer.

NEW: Trump openly admitted he asked a federal prosecutor to investigate California’s primaries after his preferred candidates fell behind — a blatant abuse of executive power.

@atrupar White nationalist Tom Emmer is a Trump-loving hate-mongering piece of shit charlatan. Tom Emmer should've been charged for drunk driving years ago and I bet he's been drinking the Trump kool-aid getting drunk and shit.

[FloridaSun @FloridaSun777]

@Deee_luul @atrupar Now I get it why Emmer behaves the way he does.

"Somalis don't assimilate"

Assimilation is neither a constitutional requirement nor a legal obligation in the United States.

Republicans need to find a different narrative if they want to attack the Somali community in Minnesota, whose growing political influence clearly seems to bother them.

🎉 MAJOR WIN FOR VOTERS: USPS has been blocked from implementing Trump’s 2026 anti-voting executive order ahead of the midterm elections in 23 states and D.C.

Judge Indira Talwani found that major parts of Trump’s EO were “legally void” for exceeding the president’s power. https://t.co/RMtNvPkucb

[Barb McQuade @BarbMcQuade]

Important court decision today striking down Trump’s exective order directing USPS to control voting by mail. Our Constitution gives the president no role in voting. Hands off!
