Yes. This needs to happen every single time a Member of Congress is denied entry to immigration detention facilities as required by law.

Performative Judicial Complaint? Meet Freedom Of Information Act. Cough it up, Chad!

Out here stirring up more trouble @lizdye.bsky.social @andrewtorrez.bsky.social

Performative Judicial Complaint? Meet Freedom Of Information Act. Cough it up, Chad!

The Trump Admin filed a harassing ethics complaint against Judge Boasberg, and the only evidence is a missing attachment.

And we said BET.

Not sure which judge just asked, but he rattled off a long list of actual trade statutes, and asked why Congress would bother passing them if the president can just shout EMERGENCY and announce an entire new tariff regime every third day

Okay I have to know: is your handle a reference to the amazing Pac-Man clone KC Munchkin??

Did the Onion buy Alan Dershowitz without telling me?!

As always, @lizdye.bsky.social has another must-read at Public Notice. This one connects all the dots to a potential Ghislaine Maxwell pardon. Go! Read it now!

Today is Whistleblower Appreciation Day so I'm going to do a quick thread on ways that you can help out. If you support whistleblowers and want to help ensure that they are protected and represented, please consider making a donation to one of the non-profit organizations listed here.

For some reason, this bit of lifetime corruption seems to sting worse than the others.

Maybe it’s because a third whistleblower showed up today *WITH AUDIO* proving Bove lied under oath to the Senate & they still don’t care.

Agreed. I’m thinking Pryor?

Ep 154 — Habba Dabba DOH! Podcast Episode · Law and Chaos · 07/29/2025 · 1h 2m

Trump gets tariffs; Americans get price hikes U.S. President Donald Trump is getting his tariffs. Companies are making it clear how they intend to deal with it - passing them on to American consumers.

Also, it's definitely one of these 26 judges who breached said confidence by running to the Federalist:

nope

3/ So yeah. The DOJ may have just filed a formal judicial complaint based solely on third-hand accounts from right-wing crackpots.

WE DON'T KNOW BECAUSE THE DOJ DIDN'T SHOW ITS SOURCE.

But we will, thanks to @nationalsecuritylaw.org!

Original thread is here:

Fox News Clips, Judge’s comments about Trump condemned as “REALLY DISTURBED”, YouTube (July 17,2025), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KN_ysywMQbY

2/ That's buttressed by the fact that the only other citation for Judge Boasberg's supposedly inappropriate comments is to crap vomited by John Yoo ("Judge’s comments about Trump condemned as 'REALLY DISTURBED'"), which is sourced in Footnotes 5 and 6.

That source? "Fox News Clips" on YouTube.

1/ POSTSCRIPT: I was operating under the assumption that Exhibit A (that we've FOIAed from the DOJ) was the actual transcript of the judicial conference Judge Boasberg attended back in March.

As @stevebev.bsky.social points out, it's possible that Exhibit A is just a right-wing news article (!)

Great sleuthing. I wouldn't trust anyone at the Federalist to guess my weight.

That John Yoo was not disbarred and basically allowed to continue as a member of the legal academy is going to be an enduring disgrace.

In a recent interview, University of California, Berkeley Law Professor John Yoo criticized Boasberg’s actions as “us[ing] an inappropriate setting” to “try to get the Chief Justice of the United States to give his opinion on whether there is a constitutional crisis between the courts andthe presidency.”5 In essence, Judge Boasberg was “trying to entrap the Chief Justice of the United States and get him on the record and join him to almost approve what he’s doing to spark this fight with President Trump.”6 This attempt to persuade other judges that arguments from governmental officials should be discounted in light of their alleged propensity to violate court orders contravenes Canon 1 and 2(A)’s instructions that judges uphold the integrity of the judiciary and promote public confidence in the integrity of the judiciary. And it is not mere conjecture to say that Judge Boasberg’s comments eroded public confidence in the judiciary. It has already happened. His remarks have been widely publicized and criticized. This is precisely why the Judicial Canons proscribe this kind of behavior.

5/ ...and last night, Kel filed a FOIA request on our behalf to get Attachment A on an expedited basis.

Why is the admin seizing on remarks allegedly made at a judicial conference made four and a half months ago? Oh, because Torture Memo Alum John Yoo is flapping his yap in the rightwingosphere.

4/ Kinda weird that the administration would put out a huge press release and promo blitz about these supposedly awful remarks and not release the actual remarks themselves, dontcha think?

So we talked to the best in the biz, @nationalsecuritylaw.org...

On March 11, 2025, at one of the Conference’s semiannual meetings, Judge Boasberg disregarded its history, tradition, and purpose to push a wholly unsolicited discussion about “concerns that the Administration would disregard rulings of federal courts, leading to a constitutional crisis.” with a citation to footnote 2, highlighted, that reads "Attachment A at 16."

3/ Media reports are repeating the administration's claim that Judge Boasberg did indeed say things critical of Trump's DOJ at that conference.

But WE don't know that. The complaint buries the citation in footnote 2 to "Exhibit A at 16." Presumably, "Exhibit A" is the transcript of the conference.
