  1. HuffPost: Senior Trump Official Using Government Account To Smear Sitting Federal Judges. “James Percival, general counsel for the Department of Homeland Security, posted a series of messages on social media last week dubbed ‘Worst of the Worst, District Judge Edition.’ … Percival names four U.S. district judges, identifies the Democratic presidents who appointed them and condemns their […]

  2. En 2024, la #UE contaba con 15,7 #jueces de carrera por cada 100 000 habitantes, lo que supone un descenso con respecto a los 17,7 de 2014 = In 2024, the #EU had 15.7 professional #judges per 100 000 people, down from 17.7 in 2014 #Eurostat #Europaencifras ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/prod

  3. Federal #judges—especially at the district level—are practically all that's left standing between this administration and its goal of supplanting #democracy in favor of American-flavored #fascism. #Democrats have to take every possible action to delay or deny confirmations to the Federal bench.

    If Dems somehow manage to take the #Senate this November, we can shut down the appointment of unqualified right-wing nutjob judges that have characterized this administration, once and for all. Until then, we can only exact a toll for each such nomination, invoking cloture under Rule 22 and utilizing every minute of delay made possible under that procedure.

  4. Federal #judges have found a number of US attorneys whose appointments were the result of unusual legal maneuvers by the #Trump admin to be serving unlawfully.

    Along with Sarcone, they include #AlinaHabba, who was the acting #USattorney in NJ, & #LindseyHalligan, formerly the acting US attorney for the Eastern District of VA, as well as a handful of others.

  5. Yeah, that didn’t take much at all /s

    #LindseyHalligan [finally] out as #USattorney following pressure from #judges [+court orders, a few rulings of unlawful appointment, & her multiple mortifyingly bad attempts at “lawyering”.]

  6. The #CourtOrders issued Tues marked an escalation, signaling active efforts by the #judges to appoint the district’s top federal prosecutor under a #federal #law that gives them the power to do so after an interim #USattorney has been in office for 120 days. That order by Lauck was followed hours later with another one from Novak, who raised the threat of #disciplinary action for anyone who describes #LindseyHalligan as the #US attorney in #legal filings.

  7. Several #judges had suggested for weeks that #LindseyHalligan should resign & sharply questioned her continued use of the #USattorney title after an out-of-district judge, Cameron McGowan Currie, ruled in late November that the #Trump admin had used an #unlawful maneuver to install Halligan.

  8. Federal #judges move to oust #Trump stooge #LindseyHalligan as #USattorney

    Her appointment was ruled #unlawful, but she has refused to step down.

    In a pair of extraordinary moves, 2 federal judges issued #CourtOrders Tues saying they intend to remove Halligan from the helm of a key US attorney’s office in Virginia & threatening #disciplinary #sanctions for any govt #lawyer who continues to refer to her as US attorney in #legal filings.

  9. Rally marking the 10th anniversary In memory of Luke Holland

    Rally
- Saturday, September 20, 2025, 4:00 p.m. Luke Holland memorial site Ringbahnstraße corner of Walterstraße (near Neukölln S-Bahn station)

    Luke Holland was only 31 years old. On September 20, 2015, he was murdered in the early morning by a neo-#Nazi on the street in Neukölln.

    Luke came from #Manchester and moved to #Berlin in 2014. He was murdered because he spoke English. Shortly before the crime, the murderer complained that “only #English and #Spanish were spoken” in the bar in front of which he committed the murder. Nazi #memorabilia, #weapons, #ammunition, and #explosives were found in his apartment. However, #judges and #prosecutors still did not want to establish a right-wing motive for the crime.

    Luke’s father, Philip Holland, believes that Luke’s murderer also murdered Burak #Bektaş in 2012 and that the lack of investigative pressure after Burak’s murder gave him the confidence to kill his son Luke as well. In the parliamentary committee of inquiry into the “Neukölln complex,” he sharply criticized the police #investigations.

    On the 10th anniversary of Luke’s death, we will gather at the site of his death to commemorate him. Please feel free to bring flowers and candles. No one will be forgotten!

  10. Defenders in #Appalachia Against #MountainValleyPipeline Avoided #FelonyCharges

    "Initially we were charged with #conspiracy. The real conspiracy is between the #prosecutors and the #judges, between the #cops and the #corporations."

    By #AppalachiansAgainstPipelines, #CensoredNews, March 3, 2025

    "Last Tuesday, 12 pipeline fighters had court in Giles County for charges resulting from three different actions against the Mountain Valley Pipeline in 2023 and 2024 in and around the #JeffersonNationalForest, including one site where #MVP was drilling through the mountain under the #AppalachianTrail.

    "Eleven of the defendants accepted non-cooperating plea deals -- all of them were facing absurd felony charges, including
    felony abduction and felony 'unauthorized use of a vehicle.' In the end, they plead to misdemeanor charges and there were NO felony convictions. They were sentenced to community service, probation, and to pay restitution. The court room was PACKED all day long with supporters!"

  11. [#RightWing appointed #judges]… have chipped away at the #DOJ’s cases against #Jan6 rioters — & several other threats loom that could further erode the largest & most complex federal probe in history.

    Many of DOJ’s recent cases have relied on a “#geofence” warrant to #Google —using devices’ location #tracking to ID people inside the restricted area of the Capitol on #J6. But the [#ultraconservative] #5thCircuit recently found geofence warrants are unconstitutional.
