The State Department approved more than $8 billion in arms to Gulf nations and Israel last Friday. Every recipient is actively involved in a war Congress never authorized — and the clock to block the sales is already running.
A Guardian US analysis documents what critics call a deliberate pattern: the Trump administration is not contesting court orders through legal channels — it is simply ignoring them. The people paying the price are sitting in detention facilities, waiting for bond hearings a federal judge already ord
The Supreme Court temporarily blocked a Fifth Circuit ruling that would have ended mail-order mifepristone prescriptions. The order, signed by Samuel Alito, preserves access for now — but the legal architecture to eliminate medication abortion nationwide is still intact and moving forward.
Donald Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS may be settled by his own administration — creating a $1.7 billion taxpayer-funded compensation fund for Trump and his political allies. Legal scholars say there is no precedent for a president controlling both sides of a federal lawsuit in which he
The Senate's seventh war powers vote on Iran failed 49 to 50 — the closest margin yet. Republican defections are growing with each attempt, and the constitutional question of who authorizes this war remains unanswered.
City Commissioner David Suarez is accused of hiring the trucks to single out members of the activist group Jewish Voice for Peace. The post Miami Beach Official Hired Billboard Truck to Call Pro-Palestine Activists “Jew Hater,” Lawsuit Alleges appeared first on The Intercept.
The Justice Department is threatening states that won't provide DHS officers with undercover license plates, framing a demand for covert surveillance infrastructure as a constitutional mandate — with no court precedent to back the claim.
The Trump administration's six-month freeze on new Medicare home health and hospice enrollments is framed as fraud prevention. The mechanism it uses punishes patients who need end-of-life care, not the bad actors already inside the system.
Pete Hegseth brought a $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget request to Capitol Hill — and no accounting of how much is funding a war Congress never authorized. That omission is the strategy.
Pete Hegseth told Congress the White House doesn't need war authorization for Iran. What he described is the effective abolition of Article I's war powers clause — stated plainly, in a congressional hearing, with no apparent consequence.
The DOJ served grand jury subpoenas on Wall Street Journal reporters over coverage of the Iran war. The target isn't a leaker — it's the press freedom to report on a war Congress never authorized.
DHS has sued the Catholic Diocese of Las Cruces to seize 14 acres at the base of Mount Cristo Rey — a sacred pilgrimage site visited by 40,000 faithful annually — for border wall construction. The party that spent decades wielding religious freedom as a political weapon is now using eminent domain a
The FBI reviewed an anonymous tip accusing Mahmoud Khalil of calling for violence — and closed the probe within days, finding it did not warrant investigation. ICE arrested him two days later. The administration kept calling him a threat.
Trump told reporters Tuesday that the financial situations of Americans motivate him 'not even a little bit' during Iran negotiations — an admission that directly contradicts the economic justifications his administration has offered for the conflict.
The Justice Department's intervention in xAI's lawsuit against Colorado isn't primarily a constitutional event. It's a market-shaping one — and the beneficiaries are exactly who you'd expect.
Virginia's Supreme Court struck down a Democratic redistricting map, erasing four expected House flips before a single ballot is cast. The ruling is the latest in a decade-long Republican project to lock in legislative majorities through courts — not campaigns.
