IMPORTANT ISSUES! THESE ARE NOT SOLICITATIONS
Ten years ago I started investigating Trump when almost nobody was. I helped uncover the Russia scandal and led the first impeachment push.

Help us flip Congress while supporting independent journalism that’s been leading this fight for a decade by joining us today. And to show my thanks for your support, here’s 50% off:

NO KINGS DAY TOMORROW
 |
On March 28, there are more than 3,000 protests scheduled in every state and congressional district across the country. Organizers say it could be the single largest day of political protest in American history. The flagship rally is at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul, where Bruce Springsteen will perform. Be sure to show up if you can, or support events online. See you out there!
GENERALS DRAW A LINE
 |
Pete Hegseth told the world exactly what kind of war he wants to fight when speaking at the Pentagon on March 13th. “No quarter, no mercy for our enemies,” he said—a phrase that isn’t tough talk. It’s a war crime.
Under the Hague Convention, the Geneva Conventions, and the Pentagon’s own Law of War Manual, declaring “no quarter” is explicitly prohibited for military leaders. Legal experts writing for national security law journal Just Security concluded that Hegseth’s statements “may be construed as counseling, commanding, encouraging, ordering, or threatening the commission of a war crime.”
Only days later, in a House Armed Services Committee hearing, two generals made it clear there are lines they will not cross.
 |
Dem Rep. Eugene Vindman of Virginia asked SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis Donovan if any “no quarter” order had come down the chain. Donovan answered no.
Then Dem Rep. Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania pressed both Donovan and NORTHCOM commander Gen. Gregory Guillot on whether they would comply if ordered to deploy troops to polling places on election day—something Trump has floated and the DNC is suing over.
“Congresswoman, I’m aware that doing so is against the law,” Guillot said. “And I will not follow an unlawful order.” Donovan agreed.
On Capitol Hill, the generals chose the Constitution and the rule of law over their boss. Good.
DOJ ADMITS THEY HAVE NOTHING ON POWELL
 |
Trump’s attempt to prosecute Jerome Powell continues to backfire.
In November 2025, Jeanine Pirro—Trump’s US Attorney for DC and former Fox host—opened a criminal probe focused on the cost of the Fed’s headquarters renovation. Grand jury subpoenas went out in January.
Powell’s lawyers immediately fought back, and Chief Judge James Boasberg quashed those subpoenas on March 13—in a 27-page ruling that left no room for interpretation.
“A mountain of evidence suggests that the government served these subpoenas ... to pressure its Chair into voting for lower interest rates or resigning,” he wrote. “The government has offered no evidence whatsoever that Powell committed any crime other than displeasing the President.”
This week, the sealed hearing transcript came out, revealing that Pirro’s own deputy admitted on the record the government has no evidence of misconduct. None. Zero. Nada. Zilch. When pressed on the basis for the investigation, the prosecutor admitted: “We don’t know.”
Boasberg had heard enough. “How about the White House ballroom,” he asked. “That’s over budget. Should that be investigated?” The prosecutor had no answer.
There was nothing there. There never was.
JUDGE ORDERS RETURN
 |
Maria de Jesus Estrada Juarez walked into a Sacramento immigration office in February with her daughter beside her. She was there for a green card interview—in good faith, with active DACA status, after living in the US for 27 years since she was 15.
Immigration officers arrested her on the spot, and the next morning deported her to Mexico—using an alleged removal order purportedly issued when she was a teenager.
Her daughter Damaris, a US citizen, said: “These past weeks without my mom have been devastating ... We are counting the days until she is back where she belongs.”
Biden-appointed US District Judge Dena Coggins called the deportation a “flagrant violation” of Estrada Juarez’s DACA protections and her Fifth Amendment due process rights.
The regime has until Monday to bring her back.
MS. RACHEL GOT THEM HOME
 |
Rachel Accurso—known as Ms. Rachel—has over 19 million YouTube subscribers and is one of the most popular online children’s entertainers in the world. She could have stayed out of the fight. She didn’t.
After learning about Dilley Immigration Processing Center in South Texas, Rachel stepped in and made a Zoom call wearing her signature pink headband. She appeared on screen for 5-year-old Gael, who was locked up there. “This little guy needs us,” Rachel posted.
Then she got on another call, this time with Deiver, a 9-year-old detained since earlier this month. He was terrified he would miss the spelling bee he had earned a spot in by placing third at regionals.
On Tuesday, ICE released Gael and his parents. The next day they released Deiver and his family too. Both are home now.
“I am political,” Ms. Rachel said, pushing back on critics who told her to stay out of it. “It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love and care, and that every child is equal.”
Two children are free because Rachel Accurso decided silence was not acceptable. This is what true resistance looks like.
So is this—since November, we’ve driven 665,000 calls and letters directly to members of Congress. We generate billions of impressions monthly on social media. And we break the stories corporate media sanewashes—if they cover them at all.
We have no ads, no corporate money, and no billionaire pulling any strings. Just readers like you who want to support journalism that helps lead the resistance. So if you haven’t already, join us as a paid subscriber:

I have two questions for you today.
Are you attending a No Kings protest or supporting them online?
Do you think the regime will comply with the court order and return Maria to the US by Monday?
🚨TWO URGENT ACTIONS TODAY
🚨Vote NO on SAVE Act: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-congress-vote-no-on-the-save-act-to-protect-our-democracy/
🚨 Tell your Reps to impeach Pam Bondi: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-congress-impeach-attorney-general-pam-bondi/
For No Kings events near you: https://www.nokings.org/
JUST A FEW OF MANY INFORMED COMMENTS:
I doubt they will return Maria de Jesus Estrada Juarez in a timely manner (by Monday) as this administration loves flouting court orders, but they will return her eventually, when pressed, and a delayed victory is better than no victory.
and YES to No Kings tomorrow!! We will be In NYC and hope there will be a million other marchers with us!!!
Working on the sign now; still refining the wording but was thinking of something like
RESIST Fascism
RECLAIM Our Power
REINSTITUTE Democracy
Besides the return of the children, the most wonderful thing was that the two generals said they would not follow those illegal orders. That’s big, especially if you read what Paul Kruman wrote this morning about the way the military is being turned into Crusaders by Hegseth.
We are all needed to show up on 3/28, and show the regime that there are more of us than there are of them. Supporting immigrants that follow the rules is vital for everyone; they work AND pay taxes, more than that 1%.Trumpstein files now! Keep up the good work!
<< Hegseth’s statements “may be construed as counseling, commanding, encouraging, ordering, or threatening the commission of a war crime.” >>
This freakin' nobody posing as Defense Secretary has the audacity to try to punish Mark Kelly and others for suggesting military people don't have to follow illegal orders.

Our signs: NO CORRUPT DICTATOR, REMOVE THE REGIME. NO WAR. FREEDOM OF SPEECH, IMPEACH, CONVICT, REMOVE, UNITED WE STAND
Yes to NoKings tomorrow. 50+ emails this week twice to RepSens for vote against SAVE America act, impeachment of Pam Bondi, no funding of Iran war, funding of TSA et al employees. Followed up with with calls.
There is joy when lawful immigrants taken into custody or deported are returned to their U.S. homes. Yet underneath that joy, I feel such anger that there are no consequences for those in our government who defy the law; fury that there is no restitution for immigrants’ suffering; there is no clarity for what next when they had been following immigration protocols, yet were taken into custody without being criminals and gang members. The cruelty is unacceptable.
When will Congress get to work on improving immigration procedures such that people are recognized as worthy of respect? My other question is has anyone heard of ICE detentions of immigrants other than those from South America or Africa?
Haven't there been several from parts of the Middle East that aren't in Africa? IIRC white people from Europe have also been detained.
Lets HOPE she will return next Monday.
I physically cannot attend saturday but will be watching in spirit.
I just ordered my blackout pen to black out trumpees name on the money.
Definitely marching tomorrow! I’m praying for the day people wake up and realize what a despicable administration is. Have a safe and peaceful weekend everyone! Thanks for the good news Scott!
Love love love Judge Boasberg's comeback: “How about the White House ballroom? That’s over budget. Should that be investigated?”
I will be out there tomorrow, Scott! Waving my sign and speaking up! I hope that everyone that can, will be doing the same thing. I can't help but think how when the first No King protest happened, we were just a small group, but now that number has grown in leaps and bounds. Tomorrow will be an eye-opener for our government. We the People will be heard! Let's do this, America! As for the cretin in the Oval Office, if he does not bring Mrs. Juarez home, I hope this time our judicial system will step up and call for whatever is needed to hold these corrupt, evil people accountable. I'm tired of lines being drawn and that fat POS just dances over them with no one doing anything. He has got to be stopped! I laughed at the absurdity of the DOJ trying desperately to bring charges against Jerome Powell and failing miserably! Having to admit they had no reason to charge Mr. Powell for anything must have been embarrassing........no, wait, it is the DOJ, so I doubt they were the least bit embarrassed! Mr. Powell is a good, honest decent human being that was targeted by the orange POS because Mr. Powell refused to do what he told him to do. It is always so pleasurable when I read that someone has told the orange smear NO! Kudos to those two generals that testified they would follow the Constitution and the rule of law and would not follow an illegal order. I hope with all of my heart that hogsbreath has to answer for his war crime demanding 'no quarter, no mercy for our enemies'. I can just about bet he saw that in a war movie and thought it sounded tough so that's why he said it only this is the real world and those words have consequences! Excellent news today, Scott! I hope you know I restack and share your posts every day! I want everyone to know just how powerful our resistance has become! Keep fighting, America! Stay strong and stay safe!
I plan on attending a no kings protest and have urged my friends to do so as well. I'm becoming "that person" who brings up the political morass we are stewing in, even though I know they are tired of hearing it. But I respond, "Silence is consent", then I shut up and let them stew in that awhile too.
Another general countering Kegsbreath…
“The U.S. military’s lethal strikes against alleged drug-trafficking boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific “aren’t the answer” to the country’s drug problems, Gen. Francis L. Donovan, the commander of U.S. Southern Command (Southcom), said during a hearing Thursday on Capitol Hill. “

We'll be out in Portland, Maine. I wish Maria a prompt return home along with all others illegally detained but the more we resist, the more the autocracy breaks the law. What happened to constitutional protections?!
"Constitutional protections" have long been optional for, among others, people of color and people without the resources to pay for top legal help.
Optional and totally non-operatve being the key words even for those in protected classes.
