This Is a Crucial Week in the Fight Against Trump’s Assault on the Law (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On Tuesday, the full D.C. Circuit will hear arguments in a case that began on a Saturday evening in March 2025, when a federal judge ordered two planeloads of Venezuelan men returned to the United States and the administration, hours later, transported them to a prison in El Salvador instead. Eighteen months later, the only question before the court is narrow, and worth stating precisely, because the government has spent great energy twisting it into something else: May Chief Judge of the D.C. D

On Monday the Supreme Court told Donald Trump he can proceed full steam ahead to construct his monstrous ballroom. That’s not because the project is lawful: The per curiam 5–4 order on the shadow docket expressly offered no opinion on the merits. Indeed, every court to consider the question—plus four dissenting justices on the high court—has concluded that the project is likely unlawful. It’s also a vile and fairly hideous affront to the most visible symbol of our democracy. Rather, the court he
Five Outrageous Things Trump’s New Attorney General Has Already Done (opens the original)

In just his first week in office, Todd Blanche has inflicted more damage on the norms and traditions of the Department of Justice than any attorney general in its history. I don’t say this casually, and I’m not ignoring the competition. John Mitchell ran Richard Nixon’s dirty tricks and went to federal prison for it. A. Mitchell Palmer used the DOJ to round up and deport thousands of people for their politics. Harry Daugherty turned it into a vehicle for graft, his cronies selling pardons and im

It’s hard to imagine a more consummate and humiliating debacle than the retreat the Department of Justice was forced to execute last Friday in the Reflecting Pool case. Having staked a large portion of its remaining credibility on the charges against David Hearn, the 67-year-old former Olympic canoeist it had accused of vandalizing the pool back in June, DOJ was reduced on Friday evening to confessing, in a 20-page filing, that its whole theory was false: The pool had been ruined not by vandals
Senators, Here’s How Todd Blanche Gave You Reasons to Vote Against Him (opens the original)
Read excerpt
From the moment of its announcement, the so-called settlement agreement between the Justice Department and Donald Trump has provoked fierce opposition. Little wonder: The deal purports to be an arms-length exchange in which Trump gets a $1.776 billion fund to shower on January 6 offenders and other friends, plus a release from tax audits worth $100 million or more, while all the public gets is a release from a worthless, unconstitutional lawsuit. That is $2 billion or so in return for jack, with
