U.S. District Judge Patricia Chutkan is back! On Wednesday, she prevented the Trump administration from blocking $14 billion in grants awarded to three climate groups by the Environmental Protection Agency during the term of Joe Biden. Chutkan ruled the grant cannot be stopped, while current EPA Secretary Lee Zeldin maintained they were fraudulent.
Another senior judge from the U.S. District Court in Washington D.C., has given the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) the right to assess facilities and systems at the U.S. Institute of Peace — a federally funded non-profit that engages in conflict resolution on a global level. DOGE had been sued by a lawyer from the Institute, as well as five board members who have been terminated.
Judge Beryl Howell said she was “offended by how DOGE has operated at the institute and treated American citizens trying to do a job that they were statutorily tasked to do at the institute.” But at the same time, she declined to issue a temporary restraining order to bloc the takeover, calling the institute’s lawsuit “a stretch.”
Also, more news from the corrupt U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, the justice on behalf of the violent and criminal aliens like members of Tren de Aragua, allowed into our nation by the insane Democrats. No, we do not want the world’s most wicked, nor the most vile and disgusting, besmirching our shores. Here’s more from Robert Gouveia on Watching The Watchers.
Meet James Boasberg. He’s the chief justice of the U.S. District Court in Washington D.C. Appointed by former President Barack Obama, Boasberg is one the more corrupt purveyors of the leftist practice known as “lawfare.”
Last week, he ordered President Donald Trump to turn back flights transporting more than 250 criminal aliens to El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center, known by the acronym CECOT. The flights carried members of the El Salvadoran gang M-13 as well as the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
Why would any justice in his right mind want such hardened criminals returned to America? Boasberg didn’t reveal his connection to these outfits. It turns out his daughter Katharine Boasberg is a principal staffer for a 501-C-3 called Partners for Justice. She works there providing legal advice to criminal aliens and violent gang members! What’s more, the judge’s wife, Elizabeth Manson, is founder of a northern Virginia abortion clinic — Meadows Reproductive Health & Wellness.
The charitable involvement extends to his sister Margaret– married to Christopher David Bierly from the Bain Capital, a private equity and venture capital firm based in Boston, Mass. Margaret serves as a partner for the Bridgespan Group, a consulting firm for non-profits, while husband Christopher also works extensively with non-profits, handling environmental and social advisement. The Bridgespan Group advises the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation, among other heavy hitters.
Trump has called for the impeachment of Boasberg, leading to Trump receiving a verbal rebuke from U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. Maybe Roberts needs to show some courage and fortitude, cleaning up his own tarnished judiciary before upbraiding the President! Here’s more from LV Nation, drawing upon the research of Laura Loomer.
Judges reverse Trump: Is U.S. AID back? U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang, based in Maryland, has ruled that the dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) violated the U.S. Constitution.
The Boasberg family is busted (see above for details). And Atlanta District Attorney Fani Willis must pay up! So divine justice does still occur!
Also, watch the splashdown of the SpaceX Dragon capsule, as NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore return to Earth, alongside Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov, ending their nine-month stay aboard the International Space Station. The splashdown occurred off the coast of Tallahassee alongside Florida. Here’s more from Robert Gouveia on Watching The Watchers.
There’s never been an American president more reprehensible than Joe Biden. This vile and lazy cad vacationed more often then he worked. He routinely practiced censorship to shut up his opposition, making a mockery of the Bill of Rights and U.S. Constitution. Now, we’re learning how he didn’t even sign the executive orders or pardons he issues, but instead, his staffers used an “autopen” to apply phony signatures. Are these signatures even valid? President Donald Trump doesn’t think they are. We’ll find out as the matter winds its way through the court system.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump says the John F. Kennedy assassination files will be dropped today, and adds, “I don’t think we’re going to redact anything.” He says some 80,000 pages of material will be released.
Also, Trump deported a bunch of gangland aliens and there’s another whackjob Democratic judge, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg of Washington D.C, who believes they must be allowed to remain inside America. If the Tren de Aragua thugs get hauled back, they ought to be housed in Boasberg’s neighborhood. What a creep! Here’s more from Robert Gouveia on Watching The Watchers.
Amir H. Ali, a low-level U.S. District Court Judge in Washington DC, continued his single-handed campaign to try to force President Donald Trump to fully fund the projects of the corrupt and fradulent U.S. Agency for International Development. Ali ordered Trump to relinquish that momey by the stroke of midnight Wednesday. Trump raced to appeal, joined by his new Secretary of State Marco Rubio. (EDITOR’S NOTE: Late Wednesday night, the U.S. Supreme Court blocked Ali’s order. This is a temporary block, so we’ll have to see where it leads.)
Ali is one latest and notably leftist appointees of the Joe Biden administration. He’s not even American-born, but a Canadian-born jurist who thinks his opinions matter more than the American President as well as the majority of American voters. Ali is symptomatic of the leftist trash that needs to be removed from our court system. His obstructive rulings also raise the question: Why should foreigners be permitted to serve as federal judges?
Meanwhile, the ragtag leftist courts gave Hampton Dellinger three more days in the Treasury Department. U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, another Washington judge appointed by Barack Obama, has been the thorn in Trump’s side in this case. Trump has been trying to fire Dellinger as head of the Office of Special Counsel in the Treasury Department.
Here’s more from Robert Gouveia on Watching The Watchers.
The Trump administration is pressing its case with the U.S. Supreme Court to remove Hampton Dellinger from the U.S. Treasury Department. Trump had fired Biden-appointee Dellinger as chief of the Office of Special Counsel for the Treasury Department. But Democratic-appointed, appellate justices –including U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson — have insisted that Dellinger keep his old job.
Finally, it looks as if the U.S. Supreme Court will get the case. Hopefully, they will confirm Trump’s powers to appoint his own administrative team and he can move forward, having won a popular majority of the vote in 2024.
Also in this video: Justices continue to squabble about legality of the actions by DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who’s usually a leftist pushover, is hearing the case, but it doesn’t look like she will grant the request by several leftist states that oppose DOGE.
Fani Willis, the Fulton County District Attorney, is also in the news. Find out why she unhappy now in Robert Gouveia’s latest Watching The Watchers video.
U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the hothead from New York, is in a lot of trouble over a recent webinar she gave…Tom Homan, President Trump’s new Border Czar, is threatening to arrest AOC.
Meanwhile, New York’s Attorney General Letitia James just had a meltdown over Donald Trump’s slashing of federal funds. As the feds see it, New York is in complete violation of the law. As such, the money spigot is being turned off. Here’s more from Trish Regan.
Danielle Sassoon, the prosecutor who had been in charge of the federal case against New York Mayor Eric Adams, has resigned. She left in disgust after the government dropped charges against Adams, presumably in return for concessions from New York City in the battle to deport illegal aliens. Sassoon had been with the U.S. District in the Southern District of New York and had prosecuted a few prominent cases, notably against Sam Bankman-Fried.
New York Attorney General Letitia James isn’t happy, either. She attended another court hearing in New York involving 19 blue states angry that their federal funds have been withheld or delayed.

Is the Left taking the bait? While many in the legacy media continues to berate Elon Musk for his role in defunding bloated federal programs and agencies, Donald Trump remains largely unscathed. Is this part of a larger strategy by President Trump, asks Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words”?
“He’s more legitimate—or he has more statutory legitimacy—than earlier presidential advisors, like Harry Hopkins, who moved into the White House under the FDR administration, or Bernard Baruch, who basically ran two world wars, in terms of domestic production, under Woodrow Wilson and FDR. So, let’s just dispel the idea that he’s doing anything unusual.”
“As far as the executive orders that created the DOGE program and eliminated USAID—that was perfectly legal in itself—USAID was created by John F. Kennedy in 1961, by an executive order. There was a statutory direction for the president to disperse foreign aides into a comprehensive body, but it didn’t say USAID—he could do whatever he wanted. And so, Donald Trump has decided to end autonomous USAID and fold it into the State Department for disaster relief or poverty relief or famine relief.”
“All Donald Trump is doing is saying, ‘I don’t believe the impoundment act is legal. We’ll see what the Supreme Court—but I’m just following the precedent that Joe Biden did.’ But now the shoe’s on the other foot.” Here’s more from The Daily Signal.
U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer, representing the Southern District of New York, bowed to Democrats on Friday night, placing a temporary restraining order (TRO) that keeps Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Elon Musk, and his DOGE team from evaluating payments at the Treasury Department.
Who brought the suit? New York Attorney General Letitia James and 17 other Democrat AGs—Doing all they can to keep the fraud and waste in place. As we all know by now, the Democrats love corruption. They wallow in it. Here’s more from Lori Colley.
Vice President J.D. Vance cast the deciding vote to confirm Pete Hegseth’s appointment as the next Secretary of Defense. The vote came late Friday night after Hegseth had split the Senate 50 to 50, with the tie vote leaving it up to the vice president to put Hegseth over the top.
Three holdout Republicans joined the leftists to vote against Hegseth – Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski, Maine’s Susan Collins and Kentucky’s Mitch McConnell. It was only the second time in history that an American Vice President broke a tie vote to install a cabinet secretary. The other instance also involved a Trump nominee — his choice for Secretary of Education in 2016.
Trump himself was in North Carolina on Friday, joined by Melania Trump to tour the Hurricane Helene-ravaged region surrounding Asheville. Afterwards, he ventured west to California to visit areas charred by the wildfires that have scorched more than 55,000 acres to date.
Meanwhile, a federal judge in Washington, DC has imposed new restrictions on a handful of the Oath Keepers whose sentences were commuted earlier this week by Trump. U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta ruled Friday that Stewart Rhodes and his colleagues cannot return to Washington DC, nor enter the U.S. Capitol Building, without advance permission from the court.
“The notion that Stewart Rhodes could be absolved is frightening and ought to be frightening to anyone who cares about democracy in this country,” the judge said. Acting U.S. Attorney Ed Martin called upon Mehta to rescind the order. Here’s more from Robert Gouveia on Watching The Watchers.
Google suffers a massive loss as a federal judge has ruled the left-leaning company applies an illegal monopoly to its Internet searches. Here, antitrust expert Matt Stoler joins Glenn Greenwald to discuss the ruling handed down by U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta. It sent shockwaves throughout the world of Big Tech, as other major companies, including Meta, Amazon, and Apple, face similar pending antitrust cases.
“After having carefully considered and weighed the witness testimony and evidence, the court reaches the following conclusion: Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly,” Mehta wrote in his opinion. Google indicated it plans to appeal. Also, Mehta did not specify a particular remedy.
Also in this edition: U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin, a Maryland Democrat, openly admits the Democrats are planning sedition if Trump wins in November. He’s predicting civil war. What will we get if Kamala Harris wins? Outright totalitarianism?
