This admin practices a strategy they call "flooding the zone." The make it intentionally hard to keep track of what they do.

We're coming up on 365 days of this admin. I am sharing some notes about this year.

🧵 Update on Minnesota vs DHS

The DOJ files a response to the TRO request

Note that this is different from the TRO that was granted a few days ago (different case)

This case is about the legality of the entire operation

I want you to understand the level of gaslighting here. The Department of Justice is not just arguing that they don't have to release the Epstein files.

They are arguing that the Congressmen who wrote the law have no legal right to ask if it's being followed.

You do not threaten martial law in an online shitpost or charge a Governor with sedition for taking notes if you are winning.

This is the panic of a flailing administration terrified of judicial review. Deeply unserious people are breaking the Republic because they are too incompetent to govern it

1/ It is Saturday, Jan 17. We are 48 hours from a defining constitutional deadline. Following the President's Jan 15 threat to invoke the Insurrection Act via social media, the legal ground in Minnesota v. DHS (Case No. 0:26-cv-00190) has shifted from a dispute over policy to a crisis of federalism.
