Trump’s Courtroom Cat Scratch Fever
The wannabe emperor keeps tripping over the Constitution like a drunk cat in stilettos. This week’s national political litter box is overflowing—let’s scoop it up.
Key Political Losses
- A federal appeals court clawed apart Trump’s attempt to deport Venezuelans under the Alien Enemies Act. Turns out, you actually need a declared war or invasion to weaponize an 18th-century law. Oops.
- In California, a judge smacked down Trump’s illegal National Guard deployment to Los Angeles. Apparently “Posse Comitatus” isn’t a new MAGA rodeo, it’s federal law.
- Trump tried to flex his space muscles by yanking U.S. Space Command out of Colorado and plopping it in Alabama. Bipartisan outrage says this move is less about rockets and more about politics.
Key Political Wins (for the Resistance)
- The Epstein files dump—33,000+ pages of déjà vu. Republicans thought they had a bombshell, but the docs are mostly recycled gossip. Democrats are still pushing for actual transparency.
- The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is side-eyeing Trump’s banana-republic economic stunts, warning that threatening the Fed and buying equity stakes in private companies is not a free-market flex. Even Big Business is hissing.
- Internationally, Trump bragged about sinking a Venezuelan drug vessel tied to Tren de Aragua—killing 11. Cue human rights watchdogs sharpening their claws.
Featured Resister: ACLU
This week’s whisker salute goes to the ACLU, filing challenges against Trump’s authoritarian deportation schemes and military deployments. They’re fighting tooth and claw to keep civil liberties from being shredded like cheap catnip toys.
Today’s To-Do List
- Call your Senators: demand investigations into Trump’s misuse of military force.
- Show up at local town halls: ask about protections for immigrants under attack.
- Share reliable reporting on the Epstein files, not conspiracy litter.
- Support the ACLU, NAACP, or local legal defense groups—because lawsuits are the scratching posts of democracy.
- Boycott Hobby Lobby, still bankrolling right-wing causes while pretending hot glue equals holiness.
- Events today: Immigrant rights rally in D.C. at noon; candlelight vigil for judicial independence in Chicago, 7 PM.
Final Rallying Call from Resistance Kitty
Trump may think he’s the big dog, but every empire falls when the cats get organized. Scratch, hiss, bite—whatever it takes. Keep your claws sharp and your voices louder. This regime thrives on fear. We thrive on resistance. Let’s shred their script.
