101 JUDGES JUST CAME FOR BLANCHE

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche

Todd Blanche spent years as Trump’s personal defense lawyer—the man who sat next to Trump in court and fought to keep him out of prison. Trump rewarded him with the top law enforcement job in the country: acting Attorney General of the United States.

On Sunday, 101 former federal and state judges decided that wasn’t going to go unanswered and filed a 73-page complaint against him with the New York State Bar.

According to the complaint, Blanche created a $1.776 billion fund to shield Trump and his family from IRS liability. It alleges he used the DOJ to target Trump’s political enemies. And it charges he failed to release all of the Epstein files—which mention Trump more than 38,000 times.

Norm Eisen, co-founder of Democracy Defenders Fund, put it plainly: “Todd Blanche has spent the last year and a half demonstrating loyalty to one man: Donald Trump.”

Blanche’s Senate confirmation hearings are July 15 and 16. He walks in with 101 judges already on the record against him. And the question everyone should be asking: why is the man who kept Trump out of prison now guarding the files that could put him there?

SHE BOOKED TRUMP’S CALLS WITH EPSTEIN

Lesley Groff

Donald Trump says he barely knew Jeffrey Epstein. JD Vance went on The View last week and backed him up—insisting their friendship ended decades ago. “Jeffrey Epstein hated Donald Trump,” Vance said.

Then a new transcript came out.

Lesley Groff was Epstein’s executive secretary for 18 years. Epstein called her “an extension of my brain.”

On Tuesday, the House Oversight Committee released the record of her interview: Groff testified that she personally arranged phone calls between Epstein and Trump several times a year for at least a decade—calls that continued well into the 2000s. Asked to describe the two men’s relationship, she said: “I suppose they were friendly.”

The committee has been pulling on this thread for months. Rep. Stephen Lynch didn’t hold back: “I just question whether she can rightfully and truthfully maintain that she saw nothing improper.” The truth is coming out piece by piece—a transcript here, a witness there—and no amount of spin on daytime television is putting it back.

Lesley Groff protected Epstein for 18 years and still admitted the friendship to Congress. JD Vance went on TV and said they were enemies. One of them spent a decade in the room. The other is just lying for Trump.

HEGSETH KILLED FLU RULE. OUTBREAK FOLLOWED.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth

In April, failing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ended the military’s requirement that soldiers get annual flu shots—a rule that had stood since 1945. He called the requirement “absurd,” and said troops deserved the freedom to decide for themselves.

Eight weeks later, more than 200 recruits at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio were sick with influenza.

The Army, Navy, and Air Force have now quietly reinstated the requirement for all new recruits. No press conference. No video. No apology.

Ideology lost. Science and common sense won.

JUDGE SHUTS DOWN ICE AMBUSHES

For more than a year, federal agents have been staking out immigration courthouses—waiting for people to finish their scheduled hearings and arresting them on the way out. Not criminals on the run—people following the law, showing up when the government told them to.

On Tuesday, a federal judge ended it—for the entire country.

US District Judge P. Casey Pitts threw out the policy in a 71-page ruling. ICE courthouse arrests are now limited to genuine emergencies like national security threats.

“For 80 years,” Pitts wrote, “Congress has commanded federal agencies to think before they act.” ICE didn’t. The court noticed. People who show up for their hearings deserve a system that shows up for them—and now they have one.

This wasn’t just one good day. It was one good week—and it wasn’t an accident.

This is what it looks like when the people fight back. Judges who refuse to be intimidated. Members of Congress who won’t stop digging. A regime caught being wrong and forced to back down.

That’s the whole story we tell here. Not that everything is fine—but that the wins are real and they’re adding up.

We don’t just report the news—we organize. Readers of this newsletter have made millions of calls and emails to Congress over the last decade—real people, picking up the phone, making sure those in power hear them.

Somewhere out there is a person who used to fight and then got tired. Maybe you know them. Hit the ❤️ and re-stack this edition to send them proof that we are still winning. A few taps does it.

Onward!
