I have long feared Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act & declare Martial Law as a means to stay in power and escape accountability. This isn't the first time Miller has used the term. Bondi has used it recently and Trump hasn't ruled out the Insurrection Act as well.
Take these people seriously.

LA Press Club v. Noem is the case where we won a preliminary injunction against DHS (ICE, Border Patrol, etc.) to stop them shooting journalists and innocent protesters.
DHS is appealing, so our lawyers had to write a legally dense 33-page court filing. But I think they had fun with the intro!

Kash Patel's personal firing of the Pride flag-displaying employee was always absurd and unconstitutional, so I'm glad David Maltinsky is suing, but, wait.
It was a flag FLOWN BY THE FBI that was given to him BY THE FBI?! Come on.

![On October 1, 2025, after successfully completing 16 weeks of the FBI Academy's
19-week training program, Maltinsky was handed a letter terminating his employment with the
FBI. The letter was signed by Defendant Patel ("Patel"). In the letter, Patel wrote that he had
"determined that [Maltinsky] exercised poor judgment with an inappropriate display of political signage in [his] work area during [his] previous assignment at the Los Angeles Field Office." In short, Patel fired Maltinsky for displaying a pride flag at his workstation that had been flown by the FBI at the LAFO and then given by the FBI to Maltinsky.
The Defendants' discrimination against Maltinsky for engaging in protected speech
was a clear and brazen violation of federal law and the Constitution.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreid5rog4gjpv3qeneunmoyqxoesnuxac2srp3u6ppnjdxphfv7jcoe@jpeg)

To put a finer point on it: An "illegal order" is one that violates their oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States.
If you think that upholding the Constitution = sedition, well...you do the math.

Them: “You don’t have to obey illegal orders.”
Him: “That’s seditious! They should be hanged!”

Some of Judge Ellis’s reliance on body-worn camera footage is just so damning for ICE. Here, she doesn't even bother to elaborate; she just shows you that basically nobody had shields or weapons.

When I heard someone say Epstein trafficked more than a thousand women, it stopped me cold. Then I remembered this and it clicked: it all ties back to white supremacy.
Epstein was obsessed with genetic engineering, eugenics, and “improving” humanity, including his own DNA. It’s documented.
