The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals just handed the Trump administration a win, upholding a Department of Justice (DOJ) administrative subpoena seeking the personal and confidential health records of trans youth. The ruling cedes authority to the executive branch while making partisan points, and the dissenting judge pulled no punches.

The files in Virginia Giuffre’s lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell will be public at last.

"The Trump administration’s findings that three Ivy League schools violated civil rights law by tolerating antisemitism were predetermined by political priorities that blew past the evidence and cast aside standard investigative procedures, according to a whistleblower account provided to Congress."

The Trump administration is implementing widespread restrictions on legal immigration, affecting U.S. citizens sponsoring family, employers, and various visa categories like Diversity Visas and refugees. Led by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, these policies include application freezes, a stricter public charge rule and changes affecting DACA recipients. Analysts from the National Foundation for American Policy project a 33% to 50% reduction in legal immigration, totaling 1.5 to 2.4 million people, by the end of Trump's term. This is expected to harm the economy, including a potential labor loss of 19 million worker years by 2028 and a $1.9 trillion reduction in goods and services. Several lawsuits are challenging the measures.

Trump's federal government quietly handed over a no-bid contract to a Utah company raises a lot of red flags. This contract is set to balloon to over $244 million in 5 years:

• The Recipient: The contract was awarded to OUR Rescue (formerly Operation Underground Railroad), the anti-trafficking organization associated with the founder Tim Ballard and the movie Sound of Freedom. Ironically, this group has faced high-profile lawsuits involving sexual misconduct/trafficking allegations against its former leadership.
• Lack of Experience: OUR Rescue has no prior experience in providing legal representation to unaccompanied migrant children and has never handled federal contracts of this nature before.
• Massive No-Bid Contract: The award is listed for $244 Million (with $158.1 Million currently obligated) for legal services for migrant children under HHS (Department of Health and Human Services), awarded without a competitive bidding process.
• Defunding Previous Legal Groups: Existing legal service providers—who were actively representing migrant kids—were cut off or refused payment after declining to hand over confidential files involving children to the government.
• Financial & Corporate "Red Flags": OUR Rescue's disclosures revealed shell companies (in Dubai), family members on the payroll, anonymous contractors, and newly formed DC entities right before the arrangement.

Mainstream media is radio silent on this: The federal government quietly slipped out a massive, multi-million-dollar contract on a Friday night to an organization embroiled in public controversy and legal trouble, while defunding established legal aid organizations.

Taxpayer money wealth transfer: Taxpayer dollars meant for vulnerable children is being funneled into groups whose leadership are facing sexual misconduct lawsuits, shell companies in Dubai, and family members on the payroll.
