Bill OâReilly made a stunning prediction Wednesday night on NewsNationâs Cuomo: Donald Trump is going to destroy NY Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. And Trump may just have an unlikely ally to make that goal a reality. OâReilly claimed that New York Mayor Adams âknows where the bodies are buriedâ when it comes to James and Bragg, the two figures who aggressively pursued Trump in court. What he means by this is Adams may hold damaging information that could help Trump turn the tables on the prosecutors who have relentlessly targeted him. âIâm going to predict...

Lawfare hasnât stopped since Donald Trump became president again, but has been repackaged into civil litigation to stop his second term agendaâand most of the civil lawfare can be traced to groups affiliated with a coalition known as Civil Service Strong. Members of the coalition scored federal court wins in recent days to temporarily block Trumpâs executive order on birthright citizenship, to delay a federal employee buyout, and to halt the shuttering of the U.S. Agency for International Development. The member groups have also been involved in numerous other lawsuits against the Trump administration, including challenging the Schedule F executive...

A culturally significant development has been lost in the flood of news. In September of 2021, the National School Boards Association sent a shameful letter to part-time President Joe Biden demanding that aggressive parental criticism of local school boards be coded as threats and treated as criminal behavior. If youâve forgotten that letter, the NSBA specifically asked the Biden administration to use âthe PATRIOT Act in regards to domestic terrorismâ against parents. Attorney General Merrick Garland quickly gave the NSBA what it wanted, issuing guidance to federal law enforcement to investigate parental criticism as potential federal crimes, under the premise...

After issuing two stays, U.S. District Judge George O'Toole has declined to block the Trump administration's deferred resignation program for federal employees. The ruling comes more than two weeks after the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) sent an email to more than 2 million civilian employees of the federal government with the subject line "Fork in the Road."

The Justice Department announced Wednesday it was suing New York state over its policy of limiting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, with Gov. Kathy Hochul, state AG Letitia James and DMV chief Mark Schroeder in AG Pam Bondiâs crosshairs. âThis is a new DOJ,â Bondi announced. âNew York has chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens. It stops. It stops today.â

WASHINGTON â Lawyers challenging President Donald Trump's aggressive use of executive power in the courts are turning to a familiar weapon in their armory: an obscure but routinely invoked federal law called the Administrative Procedure Act. While lawsuits challenging such provocative plans as ending birthright citizenship and dismantling federal agencies raise weighty constitutional issues, they also claim Trump failed to follow the correct procedures as required under the wonky 1946 statute. Trump fell afoul of the law in some high-profile cases that reached the Supreme Court during his first term, raising the possibility he could suffer the same fate this...

CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts â Lawyers advancing an effort to charge oil companies with homicide over climate-related deaths are ramping up their campaign to hold fossil fuel producers criminally accountable for contributing to climate change. The authors of âClimate Homicide: Prosecuting Big Oil for Climate Deathâ embarked on a road trip of college campuses this spring, making the case for bringingcriminal charges against oil and gas companies. The push by David Arkush, director of Public Citizenâs climate program, and Donald Braman, an associate professor at George Washington University Law School, aims to bolster support for the theory through presentations at law schools....

Attorneys for a group of news organizations, including NPR, said in a legal filing on Tuesday that evidence used at the sentencing of a rioter charged in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol had "disappeared" from an online government platform. The missing evidence consists of nine video exhibits from the Justice Department's case against Glen Simon, who pleaded guilty to a charge of "Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct in a Restricted Building or Grounds." Simon said as part of his plea that he pushed against police officers with a metal bike rack, stormed the U.S. Capitol and recorded...

Here is a long take on the court injunction crisis, which is less crisis than an opportunity⌠OK, stop panicking about all the stupid legal decisions from leftist judges that the left is getting from judge shopping in leftist jurisdictions. Stop. Panicking. First, no one should be surprised by any of this. The administration certainly isnât. We always knew exactly what they would do. Do not take the fact they are not screaming and yelling as them rolling over. They are not rolling over. Thereâs plenty going on behind the scenes as administration lawyers prepare their papers for the legal...

@DOGE, a single district judge has issued a ruling blocking the executive branch from access to Treasury data. Thereâs a simple fix: DOJ should demand injunction bonds. This will be a repeat problem for the Trump administration, just like it was in the first term, unless something is done to rein in frivolous injunctions. Activist judges could single-handedly gum up the entire Trump/DOGE agenda. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(c), judges can issue injunctions âONLY IFâ the suing party posts a bond to cover potential damages if theyâre wrong. But guess what? This rule is hardly used! When I...

At the end of Trump's first term, he pardoned Bannon for the exact same case, immediately afterwards, The State of NY charged Bannon, given how various Trump supporters went to prison for bogus charges, this was probably the best Bannon could hope for in the State of NY.

Over the weekend, an Obama-appointed judge issued a temporary injunction blocking the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing sensitive Treasury Department data. While the media frames this as a limited restriction on political appointees and special government employees, the reality appears far more sweeping. Judge Paul Engelmayerâs ruling explicitly bars all political appointeesâincluding Treasury Secretary Scott Bessentâfrom Treasury payment records and financial systems, restricting access to career civil servants (essentially the Deep State) within the Bureau of Fiscal Services. This unprecedented move effectively prevents the Treasury secretary from overseeing his own departmentâs financial data, raising serious concerns about executive...

An Obama-appointed judge ruled that President Trump must work with Special Counsel Hampton Dellinger, a Biden-appointed official, instead of his own chosen legal counsel. Judge Jackson issued an order mandating Dellinger represent the president and barred Trump from appointing any other Special Counsel.

Dems and their media have been shouting about a âconstitutional crisisâ for two weeks now. If you believe Rep. Jared Huffman, itâs even the worst constitutional crisis since the Civil War. But the actual constitutional crisis is once again proving to be a judicial coup. Democrat federal judges have blocked lawful moves by the Trump administration under various technical pretexts with the aim of upending legal presidential authority. Weâve already seen this during Trumpâs first term, so it comes as no real surprise, but itâs even more aggressive out of the gate with leftist activists and leftist federal judges moving...

Attorney Alan Dershowitz said Monday that many of the injunctions blocking actions by President Donald Trump, ranging from his executive orders to his efforts to address wasteful and fraudulent spending, will be thrown out on appeal. The Trump administration is appealing injunctions imposed by federal judges that targeted the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and Trumpâs Jan. 20 executive order ending birthright citizenship, among others. Dershowitz said during âThe Dershowâ that the cases will eventually be resolved by the U.S. Supreme Court. âNobody ever said that our system of checks and balances would make it easy to govern or would...
