When everything is going extremely well (not) for Trump's DOJ in front of a judge who is angry:
Government counsel wouldn't directly say whether he's aware of any "controversy" around the golf course. So Judge Reyes had him turn around and watch as she asked people in the gallery to raise their hands if they were there because they have strong feelings about the redesign.
Asks courtroom to raise hand if here because strong feelings about redesign. "Turn around, sir." Hundreds of people, the vast majority, raised their hands, JR observes.

Judge snaps as DOJ lawyer invokes 'presumption of regularity' during golf course hearing
A DOJ lawyer said the Trump administration was "entitled" to a "presumption of regularity" in the golf course case. It didn't go over well.

JR reminds DOJ counsel (Gustafson?) that DOJ previously told her there would be notice and comment.

DOJ counsel: they can comment after the rule.

JR: that's not how law works.

Now she's telling him to find someone in DOJ who can answer her questions within an hour.

Look you don't have to agree with Sunrise on everything but they're literally facing weaponized DOJ investigations for their MN anti-ICE organizing so if you are not personally in the firing line of the Trump admin maybe cool it on the "they only ever protest Dems" shit btlonline.org/trump-doj-in...

Why is Todd Blanche and the Trump DOJ not providing access to international law enforcement agencies to the unredacted Epstein Files?
Virginia Giuffre’s brother on what happened when he confronted Trump’s DOJ about reopening the Epstein investigation and brought up Prince Andrew.

He says Blanche told him:

“Well, I can’t use that testimony because your sister’s not here and Prince Andrew is not going to cooperate with me.”

The whole Trump admin needs to be answer to congress in their coverup of the Epstein files.

DOJ counsel suggests the closure could be temporary.

JR: you told me you don't know when it will reopen.

DOJ counsel hems and haws.

The very large posterboard with golf course mockups is now propped up at the DOJ counsel table.

Trump WH & Grassley have to decide how much bandwidth to use for DOJ nominees v. lifetime judicial appointments. Grassley aide indicated DOJ ENRD (environment/energy) nominee Adam Gustafson was scratched from this week's hearing due to lacking paperwork www.politico.com/news/2026/11...
Trump’s DOJ is running short on Senate-confirmed leaders
Just three of the Justice Department’s 11 top leadership posts have permanent, Senate-confirmed leaders — and time to fill those slots may be running out.

Looking forward to Mimi Rocah’s forthcoming book on the heroes who fought back against Trump’s DOJ. Available now for pre-order.
You can now preorder my book “Justice Still Stands” on my new website! HarperCollins publishing on 1/26. It’s the story of Trump’s attack on the DOJ but the part I’m most excited about is the story of prosecutors, agents, lawyers, judges who did the right thing to help save the rule of law. ⚖️

R, after DOJ shifts again: “I’m just trying to figure out which iteration of me not paying attention to the president we’re going with today.”

Judges used to take the DOJ at its word. Now a judge hears "no document destruction" and immediately loads a sanctions threat timed in zeptoseconds. That tells you how much credibility this DOJ has left in a courtroom.

"What happens if DOJ indicts the committee investigating them and other such fun thoughts"
This is going to be a lot of inertia within the Democratic caucus towards normal governance, and the fact that the Trump Administration is filled with freaks who cannot help but pick high-profile and deranged fights on every single topic and in every single venue is going to force a confrontation.

🚨 Virginia Giuffre’s brother says that Trump’s DOJ is STILL withholding 3 MILLION additional Epstein documents.

Katie Phang walks through thousands of volumes of released files, exposing massive redactions and asking: “How is this transparency? This isn’t transparency.”

DOJ continues irritating judges. This excellent 🧵 breaks down today's golf course hearing.
Gustafson is doing a great job of showing why Reyes keeps putting in orders that certain people attend hearings.

Half of Gustafson’s time is saying that he can’t say anything because he doesn’t know it.

Blanche took a string of good probing questions about Nvidia and what the DOJ knew and when, and he's punting on all of them as though he's just hearing about the scandal now

The correct answer to Rubio’s homicidal hubris here isn’t words. It’s a future DoJ putting him in front of a firing squad for capital murder.
Rubio: “If the ICC are foolish enough to try to enforce their paper decrees on Americans, our answer will probably be the same as the Roman general Pompey when he said to those who were trying to invoke their city's charters against his legions: "Stop quoting laws to men with swords."”
