GRAND JURY TRANSCRIPT EXPOSES DOJ
Last fall, when ICE invaded Chicago, six protesters—including former Democratic congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh—stood outside the Broadview detention center and got hit with federal felonies.
Last month, prosecutors dropped all charges after US District Judge April Perry caught DOJ prosecutors cheating during the grand jury process. On Tuesday, portions of the transcripts went public. Now we know exactly what she meant.
Grand jurors—citizens who decide whether charges can even be filed—refused to indict. Prosecutors tried again anyway. When Assistant US Attorney Sheri Mecklenburg demanded one juror promise to listen “with an open mind,” the juror answered honestly: no.
Mecklenburg kicked the juror out of the room. Their parting shot: “I heard this case like last week and I thought it was a crock of s**t then—and I still think it is.” The panel still refused. It took prosecutors three tries to force their charges through.
Judge Perry drew the line: “I have never seen the types of prosecutorial behavior before a grand jury that I saw in those transcripts.” Abughazaleh put it plainly: “It’s not justice, but it is a win.”
A JUDGE FROZE TRUMP’S SLUSH FUND
The regime tried to create a $1.776 billion fund using your tax dollars to pay back Trump’s political allies—potentially including Jan 6 rioters who attacked the Capitol. No vote. No law. No permission. They just did it.
US District Judge Leonie Brinkema blocked the fund on May 29 and refused to budge. Trump keeps saying publicly he loves the fund, and his own acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told Congress it was dead—but refused to put a single word of that in writing. So on Friday, Brinkema extended the order indefinitely.
She gave Blanche, Associate AG Stanley Woodward, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent one week to submit a sworn declaration—under penalty of perjury—that the fund will not proceed in any manner, or under any name.
No army. Just one judge and the law. And right now, the law is winning.
WARNOCK WRECKS REGIME ON GROCERIES
On Wednesday, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins sat before the Senate and tried to explain why your groceries cost so much. Her answer: blame Biden.
Senator Raphael Warnock couldn’t believe his ears: “Two years later, that’s your answer?” “Yes! Yes!” Rollins insisted, rattling off avocado and butter prices like a coupon flyer.
The numbers buried her. According to the Joint Economic Committee, a typical American family paid $310 more for groceries in 2025.
Warnock pressed her on the regime slashing $500 million from food banks and removing 4.3 million Americans from SNAP—a figure Rollins supplied herself, then defended as “a celebration of work.”
Warnock refused to let it slide: “Do you realize, Madam Secretary, with all due respect, how sterile that answer sounds …” to somebody trying to buy groceries in Georgia. Warnock didn’t need a punchline: “There are a lot of children all across Georgia who are suffering. I think we can do better than that.”
He’s right. November is coming.
SOLAR BEATS COAL
Right after Trump retook office, he declared a national energy emergency and signed executive orders to prop up coal. He’s spent sixteen months trying to drag America’s power grid backward by force.
The grid ignored him. In May, for the first time in US history, solar generated more of the nation’s electricity than coal—12.8% to coal’s 12.2%, according to energy think tank Ember. It was coal’s fourth-lowest monthly share ever recorded.
Trump cannot bully the sun.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
One solar panel on one roof doesn’t change much. But millions of them just beat an industry that ran this country for a hundred years.
That’s you and me. That’s this whole community. Every call. Every email. Every share. Every rally. Together we’ve contacted Congress more than 755,000 times since November 2024. I talk to elected officials regularly. They feel every single one.
Here’s my promise, friend to friend: I’ve been at this for a decade. There’s no way I’m backing down now.
