A statement that reads: HOUSE DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP STATEMENT ON DONALD TRUMP'S THREAT TO KILL A WHOLE CIVILIZATION Today, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Democratic Whip Katherine Clark, Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar, Democratic Caucus Vice Chair Ted Lieu, Assistant Democratic Leader Joe Neguse and DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene released the following statement: Donald Trump is completely unhinged. His statement threatening to eradicate an entire civilization shocks the conscience and requires a decisive congressional response. The House must come back into session immediately and vote to end this reckless war of choice in the Middle East before Donald Trump plunges our country into World War III. For years, Republicans have enabled and excused Donald Trump's deeply dangerous and extreme behavior. Enough is enough. Our brave men and women in uniform have been put into harm's way in the Middle East. Over a dozen have already been killed and hundreds injured. Gas prices are skyrocketing, the cost of living in America is out of control and billions of taxpayer dollars are being wasted on a reckless war of choice. It's time for House Republicans to put patriotic duty over party loyalty and join Democrats in stopping this madness.

failed to show proper purpose. The Government has not submitted any affidavits or other evidence to show proper purpose. See Comley, 890 F.2d at 541 ("[The affidavits of government officials have been accepted as sufficient to make out a prima facie showing that these requirements are satisfied."). Instead, the Government simply points to the April 22, 2025 Memorandum of the Attorney General directing the Civil Division "to undertake appropriate investigations" to make the argument that since the Government would not have issued the subpoena unless it was for an "appropriate" investigation, the subpoena must have been issued for a proper purpose. This logic, if followed, would preclude any form of judicial review as the Government's self-proclaimed say-so would always be sufficient to defeat a motion to quash. This is no logic at all.
A tweet from Secretary Kristi Noem that reads: We have confirmation that the shooter at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, MN was a 22 year-old man, claiming to be transgender. This deranged monster targeted our most vulnerable: young children praying in their first morning Mass of the school year. This deeply sick murderer scrawled the words 'For the Children' and "Where is your God?' and 'Kill Donald Trump' on a rifle magazine. This level of violence is unthinkable. Our deepest prayers are with the children, parents, families, educators, and Christians everywhere. We mourn with them, we pray for healing, and we will never forget them.

Biden-Appointed Judge Ignores Biological Reality and the Rule of Law, Orders Illegal Alien Released Release Date: July 17, 2025 A biological male was placed in a men's facility in alignment with the President's Executive Order and for the safety of women in ICE custody WASHINGTON - Biden-appointed U.S. District Judge Amy Baggio recently ordered the release of Odalis Jhonatan Martinez-Velasquez, a male illegal alien from Mexico, after caving to pressure from immigration and transgender activists-ignoring the rule of law and promoting gender ideology fanaticism. Velasquez illegally entered the country in 2023 and released under the Biden administration. He was lawfully detained on June 2, 2025, and processed for expedited removal. Velasquez was placed into ICE's male detention center in accordance with the President's Executive Order and for the safety of women in ICE custody. "Velasquez-a biological male-was placed in a men's facility in alignment with the President's Executive Order and for the safety of women in ICE custody. The President made it clear on Day One: DHS will not buy into radical gender ideology when detaining illegal aliens," said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. "An immigration judge, not a district judge, has the authority to decide if Odalis Jhonatan Martinez-Velasquez should be released or detained. The activist judge is ignoring the biological reality of sex, undermining ICE's commitment to promoting safe, secure, and humane environments for women in custody, and subverting the American people's mandate to restore commonsense to our immigration system and reject extreme gender fanaticism." On January 20, President Donald J. Trump signed Executive Order of Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government, prohibiting DHS from detaining males in women's detention centers. Velasquez is no exception.

Office for Civil Rights Launches Title IX Violation Investigations into Maine Department of Education and Maine School District Investigation follows President Trump's Remarks at the Republican Governor's Association Dinner FEBRUARY 21, 2025 - Today the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) sent a letter to the Maine Department of Education Commissioner Pender Makin announcing that OCR is initiating a directed investigation of the Maine Department of Education (MDOE) amid allegations that it continues to allow male athletes to compete in girls' interscholastic athletics and that it has denied female athletes female-only intimate facilities, thereby violating federal antidiscrimination law.
