Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has fired two top intelligence officials for undermining President Trump.
Gabbard fired Mike Collins, who was serving as the acting chair of the National Intelligence Council, and his deputy, Maria Langan-Riekhof, Tuesday, senior intelligence. The purge was first reported by Fox News, which noted that both officials have faced whistleblower complaints.
Gabbard fires officials
The firings are in keeping with the tight discipline that has characterized Trump's historic comeback.
During his first term, Trump was subverted by bad actors within the intelligence community who sought to nullify his unexpected election victory with a bogus investigation into "Russian collusion."
As Trump fought for re-election in 2020, dozens of former intelligence agents publicly speculated, with zero evidence, that Hunter Biden's laptop was "Russian disinformation."
According to Fox News, Collins has ties to Michael Morrell, the former CIA deputy director who coordinated the notorious "Russian disinformation" letter.
Whistleblowers have accused Collins of "deliberately undermining the incoming Trump administration," while Langan-Riekhof has faced similar complaints of being "radically opposed to Trump" and advancing the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) agenda, which Trump has worked to root out.
Deep State on defense
A longtime critic of political malfeasance by the "Deep State," Gabbard has taken a series of actions in her new intelligence role to restore accountability.
She has recommended the Justice Department prosecute "Deep State criminals" behind recent classified intelligence leaks to the New York Times and Washington Post.
The leaked information included a National Intelligence Council assessment that Venezuela is not directing Tren de Aragua to invade the United States, a conclusion that undercuts President Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act to swiftly deport suspected gang members.
The FBI partly dissented from the intelligence assessment, finding the Maduro regime is using Tren de Aragua as a proxy.
The ODNI fired two officials in early May for leaking information about a Tren de Aragua intelligence assessment to the New York Times, Fox News Digital reported.
Meanwhile, Gabbard is moving the National Intelligence Council from the CIA to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), which Gabbard oversees, to prevent the "politicization of intelligence" by Deep State bureaucrats.
"It takes time to weed them out and fire them," one official told Fox News Digital, adding that "plans to eliminate non-essential offices within ODNI that we know are housing deep state leakers are underway."
A federal judge in Pennsylvania ruled that President Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act is lawful, in a major boost for Trump's mass deportation effort.
The decision from Judge Stephanie Haines, a Trump appointee, offers some reprieve for Trump after a series of legal setbacks that have hobbled his immigration agenda.
Trump scores huge win
Since March, Trump has used the Alien Enemies Act to swiftly deport alleged gang members in groups like Tren de Aragua, which the administration has designated a terrorist organization.
Trump's rapid deportations have faced resistance from some federal courts on due process grounds. Some judges have also said that Trump's use of wartime powers is inappropriate because Tren de Aragua is not part of a conventional military invasion.
Crucially, Judge Haines rejected the narrow view of other courts. The Alien Enemies Act can be interpreted in a modern context, Haines said, comparing Tren de Aragua to "military detachments or pirates” that threatened the public when the Alien Enemies Act became law in 1798.
The activities of Tren de Aragua meet the definition of "predatory incursion," she said, noting the gang is "bent on destabilizing the United States" and is "flooding the United States with illegal narcotics, which it is using as a 'weapon' against the citizens of the United States."
Respecting Trump's authority
The judge accepted the Trump administration's conclusion that Tren de Aragua is acting "at the direction, clandestine or otherwise, of the Maduro regime in Venezuela."
Displaying a sense of humility lacking in some other judges, Haines said deference is owed to Trump's position as commander-in-chief, which allows him to access secret information through intelligence services.
"It would be intolerable that courts, without the relevant information, should review and perhaps nullify actions of the Executive taken on information properly held in secret," Judge Haines said.
Some caveats
Judge Haines relied heavily on Secretary of State Marco Rubio's designation of Tren de Aragua as a terrorist group.
She noted that the ruling is limited to dealing with terrorists and does not apply to whether Trump can use the Alien Enemies Act to target gang members.
While siding with Trump on the legal substance, the judge emphasized that the administration "must provide greater notice to those subject to removal under the AEA than they are currently providing."
She ordered that 21 days of notice be provided to detainees, and they must be given Spanish interpreters if necessary.
The Florida Panthers suspended Doug Cifu, the franchise's vice chairman, on Monday following a social media fight with a fan on Sunday, Breitbart reported. The NHL suspension is indefinite, citing "unacceptable and inappropriate" remarks he made during the online argument.
Cifu has since deactivated his account on X, formerly Twitter, following the online tiff. He allegedly traded insults with a Toronto Maple Leafs fan who likened the Panthers' rough play to Israel in its war against Hamas in Palestine.
The reply from Cifu included obscenities and a reference to President Donald Trump's barb against Canada when he called it the "51st state" earlier this year. "Eat s--- 51st state anti-semite loser," Cifu allegedly wrote.
"Israel now and forever. Until ever[y] last Hamas rat is eliminated," Cifu added.
The conflict
The Panthers notched a 2-0 win on Sunday, but the real conflict happened off the ice and on social media. According to ESPN, Cifu attacked a person with the handle Dr. Grizzo on May 11 after he turned the discussion about the game into political commentary.
The contentious series between the two teams became an even 2-2 record after Sunday's game. However, Toronto's Anthony Stolarz was taken out after Florida center Sam Bennett collided with the Maple Leafs' goalie, causing a head injury.
Moreover, the teams traded high body checks, which Dr. Grizzo compared with attacks Israel launched against Hamas. "Hey, what's worse, using headshots to win a series or using starvation as a weapon to win a war?" Dr. Grizzo wrote.
Cifu shot back, "Actually, being a whiny dope anti-semite is clearly worse. Loser."
The exchange continued with Dr. Grizzo challenging the premise of Cifu's insult. "Not approving of using starvation as a weapon makes me a bigot?" That's when Cifu hurled the obscenity at the other man before deactivating his account.
The NHL reacts
After the dustup, the NHL released a statement denouncing Cifu's actions. "The NHL has concluded that Mr. Cifu’s X posts were unacceptable and inappropriate," the league wrote.
"As a result, Mr. Cifu has been suspended indefinitely from any involvement with the Club and the NHL," it added. Commissioner Gary Bettman is expected to meet with Cifu at a time and place that will be determined later.
For his part, Cifu released a statement to Florida Hockey Now accepting responsibility. "My behavior does not reflect the standards of the Florida Panthers organization and the Viola family," Cifu said, referring to Panthers owner, chairman, and governor Vincent Viola.
"I sincerely apologize to all those affected by my comments. I am committed to working with the NHL to amend my actions," Cifu added.
This situation is part of a larger debate happening online that often turns ugly between people who support Israel and those who support Hamas. Regardless of the circumstances, Cifu should have shown more professionalism and held his tongue, and his suspension was well warranted after he didn't.
A grand jury handed down an indictment Tuesday against a federal judge who helped an illegal immigrant evade capture by U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement Officials, Breitbart reported. Milwaukee Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan is facing significant fines and prison time for her antics.
Dugan was arrested last month after "concealing" Flores-Ruiz from ICE agents. According to Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, Flores-Ruiz "has a laundry list of violent criminal charges including strangulation and suffocation, battery, and domestic abuse."
The grand jury found Dugan was "obstructing a U.S. agency" when she ushered Eduardo Flores-Ruiz away from ICE officials. The defense team for the judge said Dugan will "enter a plea" during her May 15 hearing.
The arrest
If convicted, Dugan could spend up to six years behind bars and pay as much as $350,000 in fines. This all stems from her decision to sneak Flores-Ruiz and his defense attorney out of the courthouse through a back jury door late last month, the Associated Press reported.
Dugan was tipped off that ICE agents were on their way, so she hurried the criminal illegal alien and his lawyer out of the door "only deputies, juries, court staff, and in-custody defendants being escorted by deputies used the back jury door," the affidavit said. "Defense attorneys and defendants who were not in custody never used the jury door," it added.
The 30-year-old who was being charged with three counts of misdemeanor domestic battery was captured by agents outside the courthouse. Just 30 minutes later, FBI Director Kash Patel announced Dugan's arrest in a post to X, formerly Twitter, the Washington Examiner reported.
"Just NOW, the FBI arrested Judge Hannah Dugan out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on charges of obstruction — after evidence of Judge Dugan obstructing an immigration arrest operation last week. We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject — an illegal alien — to evade arrest," Patel wrote.
"Thankfully our agents chased down the perp on foot and he’s been in custody since, but the Judge’s obstruction created increased danger to the public. We will have more to share soon. Excellent work," Patel concluded. The post was briefly taken down for an unknown reason.
Justice served
According to Fox News, Dugan has maintained that she's done nothing wrong. "As she said after her unnecessary arrest, Judge Dugan asserts her innocence and looks forward to being vindicated in court," her attorney said following the indictment.
However, others celebrated Dugan's indictment, like Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, who stated she was "grateful" for the grand jury's decision. "She will be held accountable for that," Noem told Jesse Watters Tuesday.
"That was a great decision, coming forward, to recognize that nobody can facilitate breaking the law. We shouldn’t be able to allow that in this country, and we need to make sure that even judges are held accountable for their actions," Noem added.
Attorney General Pam Bondi similarly chided Dugan for her actions. "You cannot obstruct a criminal case. And really, shame on her. It was a domestic violence case of all cases, and she's protecting a criminal defendant over victims of crime," Bondi said.
Dugan thought she was above the law and could do whatever she felt necessary to shield an alleged criminal. Now she is facing charges for those actions, and justice will be served in the courts after all.
In an effort to undo what the Biden administration did while the last president was in office, the current administration is cutting deep, taking on the president's pardons.
On May 13, the newly appointed pardon attorney for President Trump stated that one of his responsibilities will be to review the pardons that former President Joe Biden granted shortly before he left office in January, as The Daily Caller reported.
“I do think that the Biden pardons need some scrutiny. And they need scrutiny because we want pardons to matter and to be accepted and to be something that’s used correctly,” Ed Martin, the pardon attorney, told reporters during a press briefing in Washington.
“So I do think we’re going to take a hard look at how they went and what they did and if they’re, I don’t know, but null and void, I’m not sure how that operates.”
The pardons
Former Wyoming Republican Liz Cheney was one of several recipients of pardons awarded by Vice President Joe Biden during his final hours in office. Pardons were granted for actions that did not result in charges against the individuals in question, raising more than a few eyebrows.
Individuals "do not deserve to be the targets of unjustified and politically motivated prosecutions," Biden remarked at the time.
In March, Trump asserted that the pardons null and void on the grounds that they were signed using an autopen, which is a tool that allows someone to sign documents using preloaded signatures.
More from Martin
Even if the pardons were unreasonable, Martin said he did not believe that an autopen would render them null and void during his May 13 comments.
This came just a day before Martin's departure from his position as acting United States attorney for the District of Columbia.
Following loud and persistent opposition from several senators to Martin's candidacy to permanently assume the position of U.S. attorney, Trump appointed Martin pardon attorney and head of the DOJ's weaponization working group on May 8.
When questioned later on May 13 regarding Denise Cheung's resignation as chief of the DC Criminal Division of the US Attorney's Office, Martin stated that he had requested Cheung to investigate what he deemed as extraordinary behavior, specifically the transfer of $6.7 billion from the government to a nonprofit that had been established only six months earlier.
On another Biden
“That’s what you’re supposed to do, is pause, just like if the Biden pardons are unprecedented in their extent,” he said. “Right back to when Hunter Biden was whatever age you say: ‘That’s uncommon. We ought to take a look at that.'”
Even Biden's son, Hunter Biden, was pardoned by the former president.
The prosecution of individuals involved in the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol, among other steps done during the Biden administration, are among the issues and arrests being examined by the weaponization working group, according to Martin.
Under his leadership, the group plans to increase its transparency regarding its progress and is considering opening a tip-sharing webpage, he said.

The major Iranian opposition group known as the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran, or PMOI/MEK, on May 8 exposed a secret nuclear facility in Semnan Province. Known as "Ranginkaman" (Rainbow), the site operates under the guise of Diba Energy Sina, a company claiming to produce chemicals for the oil and petrochemical industries. In truth, however, it is part of the SPND – an Iranian organization tasked with building nuclear weapons.
The facility's primary objective is to design warheads for missiles with a range exceeding 3,000 kilometers. Its use of tritium, a radioactive isotope, raises serious concerns for global security.
Rumors of a deal
Recent reports in regime-aligned media suggest Iran and the U.S. may be exploring nuclear cooperation, including joint uranium enrichment in a third-party country. Some sources even speculate about a potential meeting between Iran's president and U.S. President Donald Trump.
Regardless of their accuracy, these rumors must be approached with skepticism. The Islamic Republic has repeatedly violated its nuclear commitments – such as breaching the 3.67% enrichment cap set by the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA (the "Iran nuclear deal") and enriching uranium to 60%.
The revelation of yet another hidden nuclear site serves as a clear warning: Complacency in confronting Tehran's nuclear ambitions could once again plunge the region into crisis, as history has already shown.
With so much therefore at stake for Iran, the Mideast and indeed the entire world, it may be ironic that the youth of Iran are serving as a primary force for exposing the ruling regime and protesting its tyrannical rule.
Looking to the recent past, the fearless and determined presence of Generation Z, those born between approximately 1995 and 2008, in Iran's 2021 street protests was nothing short of extraordinary. Their influence is being similarly felt today.
Raised in a digital world, this generation is deeply influenced by the internet. With over 70% internet access, they are exposed to global cultures, which has significantly weakened the impact of the regime's outdated, theocratic ideology – propagated through textbooks, state television, cinema and more. These youths are bold, resistant to control and uninterested in self-censorship. They speak their minds freely and refuse to let their dreams be buried by repression.
Technologically savvy and independent, they seek solutions not from traditional institutions but through the online world. As one social researcher noted, a growing number within this generation not only reject the status quo but are actively shaping a vision to replace it.
90,000 protest-related cases
Iran's judiciary chief, Gholam-Hossein Mohseni Ejei, recently admitted that in 2021, over 90,000 protest-related criminal cases were opened – many involving students, university youth and teachers. According to the Iranian Resistance, more than 20,000 people were arrested in just the first two weeks of the uprising.
This surge in youth-led unrest deeply alarmed the regime, prompting it to escalate repression, particularly within schools. A striking example is a new agreement between the Ministry of Education and the national police, allowing law enforcement officers to be deployed to schools – an unprecedented move that reveals the regime's deep fear of Generation Z.
The same generation the regime once tried to keep in ignorance has now risen to openly challenge its very legitimacy.
The 'poisoned chalice' of nuclear talks
The term "poisoned chalice" was first used by Ayatollah Khomeini when he was forced to accept a ceasefire in the Iran-Iraq war. Khomeini, who vowed to fight "until the last house in Tehran," had linked the war to the regime's very survival – making the ceasefire a bitter, humiliating retreat.
Today, for his current successor, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, nuclear negotiations with the West likewise represent a similar "poisoned chalice." Having built the regime's defiance and survival around its nuclear ambitions, he is now cornered by internal resistance and external pressure.
Courage has surpassed fear
Despite the regime's rising use of executions since 2021, it has failed to intimidate the population into silence. The courage of Iran's youth now outweighs their fear, pushing Khamenei to the negotiating table.
Thousands of resistance units – young activists operating in small mobile teams conducting anti-repression operations – have become a nightmare for the regime. Khamenei knows that heightened foreign pressure or a military clash could trigger a national uprising, this time with the coordination and resolve to bring about regime change

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has fired the top officials leading the National Intelligence Council and has moved the agency to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, or ODNI.
According to a report by Fox News Digital, whistleblowers have described some members of the Council as "radically opposed" to President Trump.
Gabbard fired Mike Collins, who was serving as the acting chair of the National Intelligence Council, and his deputy, Maria Langan-Riekhof, on Tuesday, senior intelligence officials told Fox News Digital.
Collins has elicited whistleblower complaints against him for political bias and "deliberately undermining the incoming Trump administration," officials told Fox. They added that Collins was closely associated with Michael Morrell, the former deputy director of the CIA who worked to write a public letter in 2020 claiming that Hunter Biden's laptop had "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation," and to get signatures from top ex-intelligence officials.
The report notes that Langan-Reikhof has been a "key advocate" for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, which contravene Trump policies.
Gabbard is moving the National Intelligence Council from the CIA to her office to "directly hold accountable any improper action and politicization of intelligence," Fox News Digital reported.
Many intel community leakers are "career bureaucrats that are entrenched in Washington politics," officials said.
"It takes time to weed them out and fire them," one official told Fox News, adding that "plans to eliminate non-essential offices within ODNI that we know are housing deep state leakers are underway."
The moves come as Gabbard has taken steps to root out leakers and alleged "deep state holdovers" who officials say are politicizing intelligence analysis and "trying to sabotage President Trump's agenda."
Monica Crowley has been successfully confirmed as assistant secretary of state and chief of protocol, a role she will serve with the rank of ambassador, after a late Monday decision by the Senate, Fox News reported.
Crowley's new role paves the way for her to represent the United States in significant upcoming global events, shaping America's international presence.Crowley's expansive career spans a broad spectrum of public service and media involvement. She has distinguished herself as a conservative author, a known media personality, and a former official at the Treasury Department. Her previous government service includes a notable position during President Donald Trump’s first term, further cementing her reputation in political circles.
Former Experience and Academic Background
Before her confirmation, Crowley was recognized by the Treasury Department with the Alexander Hamilton Award, underscoring her contributions and expertise in her previous roles. Academically, she is well-grounded with a doctorate in international relations from Columbia University, a qualification that enhances her credentials in diplomacy and global affairs.
Crowley's professional journey began with her service as a research assistant to former President Richard Nixon after his presidency. Her intimate insights into Nixon's post-presidential years were captured in her book, "Nixon Off the Record," providing a unique perspective on her early career.
Media Involvement and Public Perception
Joining Fox News in 1996 as a regular guest on shows like "Hannity," Crowley expanded her influence in media. She was also seen portraying herself in an episode of "House of Cards," and her reach into broadcasting continued with "Monica Crowley Show." In 2010, the Clare Boothe Luce Center for Conservative Women named her Woman of the Year, a testament to her prominent role in conservative circles.
Despite her accomplishments, Crowley's career has not been without controversy. During Trump's initial presidency, she was selected for the National Security Council but decided to withdraw following plagiarism accusations concerning her doctoral work. She countered these claims, labeling them as baseless attacks.
Crucial Role in Future U.S. Events
As the assistant secretary of state and chief of protocol, Crowley will have significant responsibilities in representing the U.S. at major international events. President Trump emphasized her role as the administration's representative for pivotal events such as the United States' 250th anniversary celebration in 2026, along with high-profile sporting events, including the FIFA World Cup the same year and the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028.
The U.S. Travel Association has lauded Crowley's nomination, highlighting the potential positive effects her involvement could bring to American interests in the coming years. CEO Geoff Freeman remarked on the swift confirmation, expressing confidence in Trump's strategies to optimize the influx of international engagement during the upcoming decade of sports and significant events.
Economic Impacts and Visitor Engagement
Freeman further noted that the "landmark moments" Crowley will help orchestrate are anticipated to draw millions of international visitors. These events are expected to showcase American culture while providing meaningful economic benefits. Hosting such significant events can bolster tourism and enhance the overall global standing of the U.S., offering long-lasting advantages.
Crowley's diplomatic acumen and protocol expertise will be instrumental in executing these tasks, ensuring that U.S. interests are effectively represented and showcased. Her confirmation aligns with strategic goals to position the nation prominently on the world stage during key global events.
Results and Expectations from the Appointment
Her role will not only involve ceremonial duties but will also be integral to fostering diplomatic relationships and coordinating with dignitaries and international representatives. Such a scope of work provides a platform for Crowley to impact how America is perceived and engaged with by other countries.
As she steps into this ambassadorial position, Crowley is expected to leverage her extensive background to navigate the intricate world of diplomacy. Her work will focus on bridging gaps and enhancing the United States' global dialogue capabilities.
In conclusion, Monica Crowley’s confirmation as assistant secretary of state and chief of protocol paves the way for an impactful tenure. Supporting national prestige during imminent historic events, she stands poised to leave a significant mark on American diplomacy. Her career trajectory, filled with both achievements and challenges, sets the stage for this position, providing a blend of experience well-suited for her forthcoming responsibilities.
The Trump administration is cracking down on California's use of cash incentives to encourage illegal immigration, with Homeland Security Chief Kristi Noem declaring, "the gravy train is over."
The administration has launched an investigation into California's Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI), which provides monthly cash benefits for aliens who are ineligible from receiving Social Security under federal law.
Trump ends "gravy train"
The program is "100% state-funded," according to California's website, but the DHS is probing whether illegal aliens in the state have improperly received federal dollars.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) has subpoenaed public records from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services, which administers the cash program.
“Radical left politicians in California prioritize illegal aliens over our own citizens, including by giving illegal aliens access to cash benefits,” Noem said in a statement issued by DHS. “The Trump Administration is working together to identify abuse and exploitation of public benefits and make sure those in this country illegally are not receiving federal benefits or other financial incentives to stay illegally."
“If you are an illegal immigrant, you should leave now. The gravy train is over. While this subpoena focuses only on Los Angeles County, it is just the beginning.”
Targeting incentives
Noem cited President Trump's April executive order to prevent illegal aliens from defrauding Social Security.
Illegal aliens are not generally allowed to receive Social Security benefits under federal law, but an estimated 75% of them possess fake or stolen Social Security numbers, and some states like California allow aliens to legally access various forms of public benefits.
Under far-left Governor Gavin Newsom (D), California started allowing illegal aliens to enroll in Medi-Cal, which is California's name for Medicaid. California has the highest immigrant population of any U.S. state; an estimated 10% of people in Los Angeles County are illegal residents.
CAPI was set up as a state-level alternative to Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which provides benefits for poor people who are older than 65, blind, or disabled. Most non-citizens cannot receive SSI under President Bill Clinton's 1996 welfare reform, which became law at a more politically moderate time, before Democrats embraced illegal immigration for political purposes.
President Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration has led to a precipitous decline in border crossings, which hit a record low in March.
The House Republicans' new tax plan, released Monday, includes a 5% tax on remittances to discourage illegal immigration.
Sonia Sotomayor called on lawyers to resist the Trump administration, in an unusual public call to arms from a sitting member of the Supreme Court.
Without naming Trump, Sotomayor encouraged those in the overwhelmingly left-wing legal profession to "fight" back against Trump's actions.
"Our job is to stand up for people who can’t do it themselves. And our job is to be the champion of lost causes,” she told the American Bar Association.
Sotomayor urges "fight"
Since returning to power in January, Trump has aggressively targeted elite law firms such as Perkins Coie, which procured the infamous and false Trump-Russia dossier on behalf of Hillary Clinton. Trump has also sharply criticized federal judges who have blocked his agenda with a series of sweeping injunctions.
Trump's effort against Perkins Coie was shut down by a liberal judge, Beryl Howell, who mockingly compared Trump to the tyrannical Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland.
It's obvious where Sotomayor stands, not that it was a mystery before her latest comments. As Trump campaigned for the presidency in 2024, Sotomayor claimed the Supreme Court had placed him "above the law" with its ruling on presidential immunity.
Sotomayor has once again exposed the partisanship that drives her thinking, unusually referring to herself as one member of a collective ("we") that is standing against Trump.
“But right now, we can’t lose the battles we are facing. And we need trained and passionate and committed lawyers to fight this fight,” she added.
Trump battles a legal resistance
Sotomayor' latest comments confirm her reputation as one of the most strident justices on the Supreme Court, which is nominally non-partisan.
Her remarks echo similar warnings from the court's newest member, Ketanii Brown Jackson, who recently complained of "relentless attacks" on the judiciary.
Sotomayor's partisan activism at an American Bar Association (ABA) event is just the latest evidence of political corruption in the legal profession.
"For me, being here with you is an act of solidarity," Sotomayor said.
The Trump administration has barred Justice Department officials from attending events with the American Bar Association, which has become notorious for its left-wing bias, as Sotomayor once again proved.
It is clear that Trump is fighting against a deeply entrenched, left-wing legal movement that wants to frustrate his second-term agenda at every turn and ultimately, negate the will of the people who elected him.
