Trump has signaled he plans to invoke the Insurrection Act in his battle with Democratic cities. The Founders ensured that we have a powerful tool to counter such tyranny.

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing he’s American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: “Why were you running?” Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

I don't know the identities of any of those ICE agents but I do know this: they're too young to remember the 1992 LA riots. Anyone who grew up in SoCal in the 90s knows that you can only mess with Angelinos for so long before they snap. It's due time for state and local officials to tell ICE to gtfo

Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.
Infographic titled “Judges reject Trump at an accelerating pace” with subtitle “Federal district court rulings against the administration.”

The first bar chart, labeled “By month, %”, shows the percentage of federal district court rulings against the Trump administration:
	•	February: 53.8% (7 out of 13)
	•	March: 74.3% (26 out of 35)
	•	April: 76.1% (51 out of 67)
	•	May: 96.3% (26 out of 27)

The second bar chart, labeled “By appointing party, %”, shows rulings against the Trump administration by the party of the judge’s appointing president:
	•	Republican-appointed judges: 72.2% (26 out of 36)
	•	Democratic-appointed judges: 80.4% (74 out of 92)
