Hello weekend. This weekly ☕️
Most of the things that did during the illegal ramp, the first two months of the Trump administration, felt reckless, recklessly in nature, which was almost randomly, all of the design. Since the Maga movement seized the republican party, the persecution – and often the accompanying chaos – was well understood.
However, Scattershot entered a clear enemy: Free Thought. Columbia Student Protest Leader Mahmud Khalil was detained. Here, a legally detained researcher of Georgetown University was detained and declared “deported ve and the administration claimed that his wife had ties with Hamas, a suspicious claim from the Palestinian heritage. Columbia University He gave Trump’s requests – This involves abandoning the control of the university policy on student protests and quitting the school on the Middle East, South Asia and African Studies Department – the management bends from the school to the withdrawal of approximately $ 400 million in federal funds. Law Office Paul, Weiss completed a deep humiliating delivery that reached even more.
Meanwhile, the destruction of the country’s education systems continued: Trump, of course, has long for a long time in the promise of the educational department as not to shrink as much as possible. On Thursday, Dogge landed in DC offices of the Institute of Museum and Library Services. This came after Trump signed an executive order that shrunk the independent agency last week. The employee union expects most of the institute staff to be taken to administrative leave until next week.
The new player of the institute, the director of Trump’s working secretary, Keith Sonderling swore from the lobby of the building on Thursday, sent a creepy message to the staff. NBC News Report. E -Postada Sonderling emphasized the interest of “patriotism ve and the interest of the Institute in diligating the educational resources, emphasizing the plan to focus IMLs and focus on patriotism, and to encourage us to protect the basic values of our country and to improve the love of the country in the future generations.
Sometimes chaos is an issue. Most of the time, the persecution issue. This week, it seemed to be a threatening breath on the country’s long scholarship and free tradition of thought.

Here is what else in TPM’s tap this weekend:
- This week, Kate Riga reported that he had given a new order from the Idaho Emir case: a Federal judge decided that the emergency service abortions in Idaho would remain legal until at least a final decision.
- Considering the very limited jurisdiction that DCUS lawyer really has on problems such as acting, Khaya Himmelman is investigating how Ed Martin’s new “election integrity” effort looks.
- Emine Yücel offers an update in the Congress that the Republican Assembly can design or can design or do the design for the DC passing the Senate for Washington DC. Once again, Mike Johnson should domesticate the usual hardliners.
Let’s dig.
The judge states that pregnant women have become new unwanted patients
On Thursday, a Federal Judge decided that the emergency service abortions in Idaho would remain legal until I made a final decision in a case in which Idaho’s abortion prohibition has fulfilled federal emergency service duties.
The Congress accepted the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Law (EMTALA) in the first place to demolish the “patient breakdown” application to reject patients who could not pay for the treatment of a hospital.
B. Lynn Winmill from the Idaho region wrote, “When Emeka passed, these ‘undesirable’ patients were indigenous,” he wrote. “Today, pregnant women. Congress, even though they foresee this dimension of patient breakdown – women are not because they are poor, but because they are accused of emergency service they need – EMTALA’s needs are deliberately wide.”
. idea Due to its strange orbit, the Supreme Court Justice had a strange feature of adding quotes about this special case. A previous repetition of the case, ultimately reached the Supreme Court, which returned to the 9th circuit and decided that it intervened as a preventive. This case officially ended on Friday, as Trump refused to continue to advance a lawsuit filed by Biden administration.
The new case was brought by an Idaho hospital system and now it has a win early. Idaho, eyebrow-tender way of abortions Never Maintenance is required in emergencies.
Winmill said, “When Idaho’s abortion ban came into force for six months in 2024, St. Luke’s health system was forced to raise six pregnant patients with emergency medical conditions for neighboring states where they could take appropriate care. “This sad but illuminating natural experiment shows that Idaho’s emergency abortion prohibition is not compatible with the stability obligations of hospitals.”

Reminder: Ed Martin is not allowed to investigate things outside DC
This week, President Trump’s DCUS lawyer candidate and 2020 election Denier Ed Martin announced a “election accountability” unit dedicated to protecting voter integrity and investigating the voter fraud. But for those with eyes, another attempt to use the DCUS lawyer’s office to address Trump’s various complaints. And the widespread voter fraud legend is of course one of Trump’s favorites.
Unit, reportedAlready a voter is investigating the fraud case. And although the details of the so -called investigation are still unknown, it is important to repeat that Martin’s jurisdiction is extremely limited. Martin does not have judicial authority on lawsuits outside the Columbia region.
“I’m not sure that Ed Martin is the jurisdiction of Ed Martin beyond the Columbia Region, Dav I am not sure he thinks what the judicial authority is,” he said. “Frankly, what the predicate will be for these efforts is a mystery for me.”
We do not have any details about the election about the 2020 elections or 2024 elections, which were proven to be safe and safe, which took place almost five years ago, or about the election that the election authorities are safe.
Although there is no authority to look at election operations outside the DC, TPM has reached a few key districts to choose Martin’s new unit. Election officials from both Maricopa district and Shasta district – Election conspiracy theories and beds for misinformation since 2020 – He said that they have not heard of any details of the so -called investigation to TPM.
David Becker, the General Manager and founder of the Election Innovation and Research Center, which is similar to the TPM, said, “Considering that there is no rational basis for initiating an investigation, it seems that there is no legal basis for the laws allegedly broken, and seems to have controversial jurisdiction”. “He wonders if this is an attempt to intimidate public officials and election officials.”
If there is a truly ongoing investigation, Becker remains uncertain in the statement of the basis of this investigation, “to express loyalty to the individual who appoints the US lawyer for DC”.

Where does things stand: congress printing
Parliament Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and the Assembly Republican leadership, local financing Columbia Region’s budget to the budget next week to bring back to the House Lithi is reported to bring the bill.
Although the measure was unanimously approved in the Senate last week, the policy of making deep cuts in the lower room is much more complex.
Despite the support of the Trump administration, not all parliamentary republicans seem ready to help the region-especially the extreme right hardeners.
Johnson must now find the vote when and how to bring it to the ground. An option is to bring the invoice to the ground through the home rules committee. However, representatives in the committee are expected to create a kind of barricade Chip Roy (R-TX) and Ralph Norman (R-SC). If the draft can come out of the committee, in a procedural movement to bring the measure forward, it will pave the way for a coat that requires only a simple majority.
Another option: Johnson can use a accelerated floor maneuver that requires two -thirds majority votes to pass the invoice. However, it is not clear whether GOP leadership can vote for this.
In the meantime, the Republican leadership will enter a three -week stretch where they will have to work quickly during the reconciliation process to push Trump to the aggressive timeline that summarizes the financial agenda. This process will require the House Energy & Trade Committee to find $ 880 billion deductions in addition to many other things. Republicans insist that these deductions will not completely cut Medicaid or other social security network programs.
However, the congress budget office is a report At the beginning of this month and the figures say otherwise. CBO says it will not be possible to achieve this goal without interruption in Medicare, Medicaid or Children’s Health Insurance program.
House democrats have been building their messages on this issue for weeks and trying to gather their bases to make a lot of noise about the extremely popular segments.
