If we are serious about a vengeance tour, every person who appeared in court, making this happen should lose their law license for good
according to politico, since Jan. 2025, Trump admin has deported 170+ people “in violation of court orders,” “in defiance of legally mandated due process protections,” or “to countries from which they had sought or received protection from torture and persecution”

The Trump Justice Department Is Way Too Comfortable Violating Court Orders
Judges have tools for responding to noncompliance. They just have to use them.

For those who are unaware, the Cuyahoga river has caught on fire 13 times in its history and was one of the most polluted rivers in North America. It didn't start to improve until the brand new EPA sued in 1970. Trump has gutted the EPA.
living fossil achievement unlocked 🔓✨
the US Fish & Wildlife Service was sampling near the mouth of the Cuyahoga River and recaptured 3 Lake Sturgeon that were tagged & stocked in 2025 (2 from Rivergate Park, 1 from the Boston Mills area).
all 3 have nearly doubled in length in one year's time.

![SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 26A305
UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE, ET AL. U.
CALIFORNIA, ET AL.
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
[September 14, 2026]
The application for stay presented to JUSTICE JACKSON and by her referred to the Court is denied. The Government is unlikely to succeed on the merits of its challenge to the District Court's preliminary injunction. And the equitable factors applicable for obtaining emergency relief from this Court do not favor a stay.
JUSTICE KAVANAUGH, concurring.
In my view, based on the briefing the Court has received at this interim stage, there is at least a fair prospect that the final rule falls within the Postal Service's statutory authority. See 39 U. S. C. §401(2). But applying the rule in the 2026 elections would be arbitrary and capricious in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act because state and local election officials do not have sufficient time to reasonably implement the rule before the elections. See 39
U. S. C. §3001(m); 5 U. S. C. §706(2)(A). For that reason, I concur in the denial of the application for stay.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreicqn5lewxb2bkaazujt77bmsjfq4ultwu2alo3emhvgsnpkotnwoy)

Also wild to see Music Man go after Poindexter for drugs given his reputation on Capitol Hill. But I guess it wouldn’t be a Republican attack ad without enough hypocrisy to kill a rhinoceros.

It's even worse. It's not just that Alito presumes that large-scale fraud exists to be "detected," but he operates under that assumption despite countless recounts, audits, and now federal search warrants, having providing no evidence. Trump has controlled the federal government for nearly 2 years.
