NEW: Judge Sooknanan gets all 76 children trump tried to send to Guatemala back home, trump has been MIA for almost a week, the Epstein estate is going to hand over some actual Epstein files, and a discussion with @rweingarten.bsky.social about her new book. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
Has Trump addressed the public yet?
Heās not traveling to NJ like they had announced. Not even to Florida. Sure does seem like someone is staying awfully close to Walter Reed, doesnāt it?
Lots of people with questions about this The government said there were 76 putative class members (children) loaded on planes yesterday But the putative class covered by the judgeās order isnāt limited to kids that were loaded on planes for imminent deportation Thatās why the ~600 estimate
trumpās mysterious disappearance has social media buzzing with joy. Why itās OK to feel relief like a villainās death in a blockbuster. Check it out: brooklyndaddefiant.substack.com/p/trump-miss...
JUST IN: Drew Ensign, on behalf of DOJ, reports that all of the migrant children have been returned to ORR custody.
If they enact a new illegal congressional map, Missouri will be sued.
We are suing Texas in two cases -- one voting, one redistricting.
NEW: Judge Sooknanan is back at it. She orders DOJ to file at fifth status report to address whether the two children discussed in its previous report have been returned to ORR custody. Status report due at 12 noon today.
I donāt give a fuck if his hands look like grayscale rotisserie chickens left too long under the warming lamp at Costcoā¦ when the leader of the free world vanishes into the Mar-a-Lago ether for half a week, the American people deserve to know if heās still upright. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Stephen Miller is REALLY bad at pretending to be Trump. Like this doesnāt even almost sound like a Trump tweet
Trump hasnāt stood in front of cameras and ranted about a trans shooter in the home state of Tim Walz and then his plans changed and he stayed in DC (which he hates) for a 3-day weekend, but I see no one in the national media asking why.
Trumpās unprecedented weaponization of National Guard troops in recent months raises alarming concerns that the administration might be laying the groundwork to interfere with elections in key cities next year and in 2028.
Pour one out for Judge Sparkle Sooknananās clerks this Labor Day weekend
I wasnāt super convinced that something was seriously wrong with Trump until he tweeted this
"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."
Still no word from the Washington Post about Trump's latest attack on democracy. But, it is now offering advice to Trump about how to effectuate his tariff plan. Support pro-democracy independent media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
As the federal government continues to press states for voting information, Colorado election officials are pushing back against its demands. āThis all is part of a bigger ploy to further undermine our voting in this country,ā a state county clerk said.
California stepping up.
This is what happens when you obliterate the presumption of regularity. Endless homework assignments because the court can't trust the government to follow orders in good faith.
Robert Mueller was diagnosed with Parkinsonās in 2021. Weāre just learning about it now because he was asked to testify in the Epstein matter and wonāt be able to. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a āfinancierā? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. Iāve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
We now know that Trump, or probably more correctly, the White House posted a photo today showing Trump playing golf which we now know was taken over a week ago. What do you reckon is going on?
This is the provision Ensign cited as the basis for the government's authority to summarily remove unaccompanied migrant children. Iād love to hear from immigration lawyers, but having briefly looked at itā¦ itās so frivolous itād be laughable if it werenāt so cruel. (Am I wrong??)
This Labor Day, never forget: the sitting President said we have "too many non-working holidays." Happy Labor Day, workers.ā

Sparkle Sooknanan has the best name of any Article III judge imo
Has anyone said whether Rudy was driving or whether he had been drinking? www.cbsnews.com/news/rudy-gi...
The LGML case came very close to being JGG redux. But just before the hearing began, the judge decided not to wait. She entered a TRO barring removal of all the children. That made all the difference: DHS already had the kids loaded on planes. One plane even took off (then turned around).
BREAKING: Rudy Giuliani was seriously injured in a car crash last night. www.rawstory.com/giuliani-tra...
Free advice for the administration: If you want to stop the Trump health coverage, maybe stop posting verifiably old videos and keeping him as far away from cameras as humanly possible
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
The DOJ is telling the court that all unaccompanied children Trump is sending to Guatemala have parents or guardians in that country who have requested their children be returned to them. The plaintiffs are saying that's not at all true. You can read the back and forth here:
This is the second judge in a week that has brought up the fact that the government can't be trusted with clear instructions - likely because the government ignored Judge Boasberg's order to turn the planes around last March saying "verbal orders from judges don't count."
Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe (R) reinforced GOP power grabs sweeping the country, calling a special legislative session Friday to redraw congressional districts and weaken the ability of voters to pass laws through ballot initiatives. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
As the DoJ tells the court that it will not remove unaccompanied minors to Guatemala, we can only hope theyāre telling the truth.
Trump says without tariffs, our country would be ācompletely destroyed, and our military power would be instantly obliterated.ā

NEW: The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. Judge Sooknanan stopped it. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sookna...
To be clear: 1. Weāve taken in roughly $150 billion in tariffs - nowhere near a single trillion, much less trillions. 2. Tariffs single-handedly saving our military ā which has been the strongest in the world for decades ā is the dumbest shit Iāve read today.
There's only one way to stop the rumors about Donald Trump's health: a press conference. Why won't he talk to the press, and why isn't the media doggedly demanding it?
NEW: Many of the unaccompanied minors who Trump is trying to traffic to Guatemala today are in foster care - some of which seem to be Christian facilities. These 10 represent a putative class of nearly 600 children nationwide. Our government is trafficking children.
Exactly. It doesn't give him implicit authority, either.

NEWS: Trump and House Republicans' budget cuts seek to eliminate the HOME affordable housing program thatās built/rehabbed 1.3M homes in 30 yrs, including 540k in rural areas. 84% of those homes are in districts that voted for him. Rural families now face losing their lifeline.
J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
He wonāt let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
From the WH pool this morning: Trump left for an āunannounced locationā at 9:27 a.m. His motorcade then drove to his golf club in Virginia, arriving at 10:02 a.m. āThere was one person in a car who gave the motorcade the middle finger as it drove by,ā the pool report states.
A plan for Gaza circulating within the Trump administration calls to āvoluntarily relocateā Palestinians, establish U.S. control, and turn the area into a āgleaming tourism resort and high-tech manufacturing and technology hub.ā (Washington Post)
That doesn't mean SCROTUS will rule they're unconstitutional...
Trump spent part of his Saturday night posting that he wants to sign new executive orders aimed at voter ID and mail-in ballots. That would be unconstitutional. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
āSince Mr Trump singled out India with an unexpectedly draconian double dose of tariffs earlier this month, he has reportedly phoned the Indian prime minister on four occasions to seek a compromise. Each time, the Indian leader refused to pick up.ā (The Telegraph)

An Arizona court rejected a right-wing lawsuit seeking to make mail-in ballot signature verification harder. The ruling will help prevent wrongful ballot rejections for the nearly 90% of Arizonans who vote by mail.
Since returning to the White House, Trump has widely deployed the National Guard, with clear plans to expand its presence nationwide and few safeguards to limit him. And it looks like he might take his use of the military to the polls in 2026 and 2028.
I just hope whatever the reason it's incapacitating. Soon.
On a serious note, he looks like shit. Why is he so swollen?

It's kinda weird that nobody from the White House has said anything to squash the rumors. You know they've heard the buzz. Something is up.
The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isnāt recruiting heroes, itās recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)

I do think the DNC has to stop treating new progressives like the plague, yes. But there has to be a give and take there, too - Progressives have to understand that they canāt just badmouth ānormieā Dems at will. Weāre all on the same side and need to act like it.
It might be something heās considering, but martial law in itself wonāt stop an election. He doesnāt have the authority to cancel an election. And if people are going to try to stop us from voting? Good fucking luck.
I donāt think anything is out of the question at this point. A quote from my most recent piece: āPandemics donāt wait for elections. Hollowing out the CDC may score Trump political points with the anti-vax crowd, but the bill will eventually come due, and it wonāt be paid in votes.ā
Whereās Trump?
Now this is the attitude ALL district attorneys need to take when it comes to dealing with Trump.
