Was there today for the H.R. 9495 vote (bill that would have allowed labeling nonprofits as terrorist supporting organizations). Voted no, of course - but I do want to report that the activism DID work and persuaded members. I thought it’d be a lonely NO vote, which we take often. It wasn’t.

Trump's Legal Battles: Pushback Against His Attempts to Manipulate the System
The article details how US President Donald Trump has sought to exert control over the legal system to serve his political interests, but is encountering growing resistance from prosecutors and judges. Key examples include the controversial renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, where initial accusations of vandalism against David Hearn were later dismissed as a contractor error. Trump-appointed prosecutor Jeanine Pirro faced backlash for dropping charges against several defendants, prompting criticism over her loyalty to Trump's agenda. The piece highlights broader tensions between Trump's efforts to influence judicial outcomes and the judiciary's role as a check on executive power. It also references other cases, such as the failed attempts to prosecute former FBI director James Comey and the blocking of subpoenas targeting Democratic officials. Legal experts note that while Trump has secured some victories at the Supreme Court, his actions are increasingly being curbed by independent judges. The article underscores the ongoing struggle between presidential authority and constitutional checks, with implications for future political dynamics.
