Donald Trump's DOJ officials are trying to use a rare specialized court, called the Alien Terrorist Removal Court, for the first time to get a judge to order the removal of an alleged alien terrorist.

Not only did Trump's incompetent DOJ officials not get it right, they got humiliated in a short, one-page order that was issued by the judge (who happens to be a George W. Bush appointee).

Glenn reviews the judge's order, which says, among other things, that the DOJ needs to be "more thoughtful" in its work.

Glenn once again speaks on Substack. He dives deep into the pressing issues surrounding the upcoming midterm elections and the potential threats posed by Trump and his allies. He shares insights from his recent interviews with former Washington Governor Jay Inslee and former Border Patrol agent Jen Budd, both of whom highlight the alarming possibilities of federal interference at polling places. Glenn emphasizes the importance of understanding federal laws that prohibit military presence at polls and the need for proactive measures to safeguard our democratic process. With a call to action, he encourages listeners to engage with their state officials and to remain vigilant against any attempts to undermine the integrity of the elections.

Donald Trump addressed the nation in primetime to fill the public airwaves with long-debunked election lies.

In a truly remarkable self-own, Trump tried to convince everyone that China interfered in the 2020 election, but then he posted documents that signaled that it was Russia that tried to interfere in the 2020 election - in efforts to get TRUMP (not Biden) elected!

But there are serious concerns that Trump may try to send military troops to the polls during the midterm elections, or that he may try to have the military seize ballots and/or voting machines.

Military members must never lose sight of the fact that they took an oath of loyalty to the Constitution, not to a tyrant, a dictator, an autocrat or a president. Indeed, the survival of our republic depends on military members remembering and acting in accordance with that sworn oath.

About a year ago, Donald Trump was trying to punish law firms that displeased him for one reason or another. He made them pay him money to leave them alone. He even tried to ban their lawyers from entering federal buildings, including federal courthouses.

And some of those law firms fought Donald Trump and beat him in court. But others bent the knee, obeyed in advance, and gave the bully their lunch money without a fight. Well now, those firms that gave into the bully are getting bullied again. Yes, by the same bully.

E. Jean Carroll's journey through the legal system has been nothing short of extraordinary. With a jury awarding her $5 million in damages, and the subsequent interest bringing the total to $5.8 million, Carroll has proven that persistence pays off. The courts, including the Supreme Court, have consistently rejected Trump's attempts to appeal these decisions, showcasing a clear message: the rule of law prevails. Moreover, the conversation takes a critical look at media responsibility. Glenn passionately argues against the tendency of corporate media to present both sides of an issue, especially when one side is based on lies. This call for responsible reporting is a reminder of the importance of truth in journalism, particularly in today's political climate.

In a scathing rebuke, a federal judge has ruled that Donald Trump brought a bogus lawsuit to "manipulate the judicial process" - a manipulation that involved Trump taking billions of our tax dollars and granting himself and his family members and his businesses immunity from ever suffering a tax audit and, by extension, ever being prosecuted for tax crimes they might commit.

So - is it accountability time yet?

So what is likely to happen to Air Force Major Jason Watson, who was arrested after he chose to protest a corrupt presidential administration and criminal civilian leadership of the United States military by standing on the steps of the US Capitol (in full military uniform) holding a sign that said, "IMPEACH CONVICT REMOVE"? So the question becomes: what price, bravery? Glenn sat down with military law expert, law professor, and retired Army JAG officer, Dan Maurer, to discuss how this might play out.

The Supreme Court rejected Donald Trump's attempt to cancel the Constitution's guarantee of birthright citizenship.

So now, Trump has announced that he's going to tell the Supreme Court to change its ruling - to reverse itself - intending to file in the Supreme Court a petition for reconsideration.

Glenn discusses the history of such requests for reconsideration before the Supreme Court, and why Trump's request is almost certainly guaranteed to fail.

A federal judge has ordered the release of $5 million plus interest—totaling roughly $5.8 million—to writer E. Jean Carroll from a court-controlled escrow account. On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan rejected Donald Trump's final attempts to stall the payment, stating that it is time for him to "do equity and pay the judgment".

U.S. District Judge William M. Ray II (who was appointed by Donald Trump) officially quashed a grand jury subpoena, stopping the Department of Justice's attempt to force Fulton County, Georgia to turn over the personal contact details of thousands of its 2020 election workers.

Judge Ray issued a 28-page order siding with Fulton County's motion to dismiss the subpoena, determining that the federal government's invasive request was legally unjustified.

• "Staggering" Scope: The subpoena demanded names, home addresses, personal phone numbers, and emails for nearly all county employees, contractors, and volunteers who managed the 2020 ballot process.
• "Arbitrary Fishing Expedition": The court ruled that the DOJ lacked a legitimate law enforcement purpose or strong enough investigative need to override the privacy of private citizens.
• Expired Deadlines: Judge Ray noted that the statute of limitations for any potential criminal offenses tied to the 2020 election has long expired, making a viable indictment legally impossible.
• Future Voter Chilling: The judge emphasized that compromising worker privacy right before the November midterm elections would severely damage Fulton County's ability to recruit future volunteers.
