DOJ is continuing its equally embarrassing and alarming practice in the second Trump administration of going after federal judges who push back against lawlessness and support the rule of law. Today, they filed a judicial complaint against Minnesota federal judges who spoke to The New York Times.
CONCLUSION
DIS frequently has cases pending in the District of Minnesota, including immigration cases before Judge Schiltz and Judge Tunheim. These judges should be ordered to recuse from any matters involving DHS because the public reasonably questions their impartiality in cases involving immigration. Morcover, the Eighth Circuit should initiate an investigation by the Judicial Counsel into the improper conduct by judges in the District of Minnesota who "covet publicity" rather than adhering to the rule of law by adjudicating cases or controversies. NFL, 585 F.3d at
1140. Finally, pursuant to Rules 11(a)(4) and 11(f) of the Rules for Judicial-Conduct and Judicial-Disability Procedings, a special committee should be appointe inve mate this misconduct.

Fun fact: the U.S. House can sue a sitting president with a simple majority vote. If the Democrats retake the chamber, they should do more than just "investigate" Trump's corruption. They should sue him in federal court for the illegal ballroom, Qatari jet, and more.

Speaking for myself, I find the idea that allowing Ken Paxton of all people to become a US Senator is somehow in the best interest of trans people (or immigrants or Muslims or the country as a whole) to be self-destructive and risks further alienating trans people from our allies

The Fed raised interest rates at every meeting from March 2022 through the midterm election. Also hiked a few times in 2018 before a midterm election. Also hiked every meeting from June 2004 through a presidential election. And the Fed was tightening for all of 1994 prior to a midterm election.

It's pretty similar to how @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu has described how autocracies use propaganda more to exhaust people than to convince them the government is right. "Well I don't know who to believe, so I'm not going to spend the mental energy thinking about this."
