In a scathing ruling handed down just minutes ago, Judge John McConnell ordered the Trump administration to immediately deliver full November SNAP benefits to every state, blasting officials for their brazen refusal to obey his earlier mandate.
Well this is insane. Then if there's no one with authority over POTUS, why even take these cases to court? He's just doing what he wants with no interference. ?????
That's what POTUS figures. Worst case where we still win, courts document everything, generals have had enough, and, perhaps in consultation with key Democrats in Congress and some in the Supreme Court - the ones who are trying to uphold the Constitution - the generals take temporary control. Not sure what would happen next though. (Or blue states de-federalize National Guard as needed and secede or join Canada. I don't expect that before 2026 elections if at all.) I'm sure the ICE army was created in part to protect the dictatorship, but when faced with real military, I expect many to desert.
Or Congress has enough (pressured by We The People) and impeaches some Supreme Court justices along with Trump and Vance. That's the way it ought to work. Expose everything and we may see deep rifts in MAGA and MAGA Congress. We need 67% of the Senate to get Trump removed after the House votes for impeachment. I still think this is possible, not immediately, but if we keep working on it.
Elections will matter no matter what happens between now and then. Get to know who handles elections in your state and make sure they are good people. Also help people vote in 2026 and work to keep elections systems honest. (I'm not convinced Trump won in 2024, but 2026 might have even more funny business unless we can expose it, ideally in advance.)
Then when we finally regain control, we have lots more work to do to fix things.
And if Trump is impeached, Vance goes also. But then we need to have control of the House so Jeffries or whomever (but never Johnson) would be the next in line.
Can you tell me where you found that info? I'm not disagreeing with the absolute political hellscape that is happening due to our Rapist-In-Thief and his authoritarian regime. I just wanted to check the fact so more of this makes sense. I just don't know why he has these "allies" who are willing to betray the law, the courts, and any morals they may have left.
Yeah exactly so did he lay down any consequences if he doesn’t? Well he’s adhering to his oath. Thing would be if he pays it late will they still prosecute him as he’s spitting on the judicial system.
Don't ever apologize, Aaron. I may not be able to speak for all of us, but I am personally so thankful for your truthful reporting and the hard work you are doing during these trying times!
How much taxpayer money did wine box enthusiast “Judge” Jeanine Pirro waste impaneling a trial jury for a misdemeanor case, which she downgraded after failing to secure a grand jury felony indictment?
That’s what I’d like to know about *many* of these trials, not to mention the repeated involvement of multiple courts ordering Trump or other government officials to do this or that (or *not* do it) that they should have done/not done in the first place - and then trying to force them to comply when they ignore the first orders.
Thank you for your reporting. I don’t know how you are able to do it so quickly, and I don’t know how you find the time to do it all. Do you ever sleep?
At what point does Trump’s behavior pierce the veil of his immunity for official acts? I can’t imagine blatantly defying a court order would be considered an official act in his job as president!
@Aaron Parnas You asked if there is anything else we’d like you to do. Personally I think you are doing enough. In fact sometimes I worry you are doing too much and will burn yourself out! You have created a niche for yourself. More would dilute that. I’d say carry on as you are. You tell the news and explain important implications. That’s great! . Only advice I could give is to make sure you keep shining a light on the most important stuff. Some of us are a little obsessed with staying informed at the moment and I worry at some point we’ll all hit overload 🤯 But certain things need our attention (such as SNAP). Your style is calm and measured so again more or different would probably ruin that balance you’ve got going for you!
I love exactly how you do things. These short news updates are awesome. I check my email to see if there is anything from you at least 3 times a day. The fact that you bring us "breaking news" is something that no one else is doing, at least no one else worth listening to. ;) You are IMPORTANT... and have found your groove. Please just make sure to take time off once in a while (even if just a few hours at a time) to do things that regenerate you. You are deeply, deeply appreciated.
From what I've seen with other independent journalists, some of which have done legal background like Aaron, since thus was a special day hearing that they could rule as early as the end of the year. But this is no normal SCOTUS.
I want to know too! I appreciate what the judges are doing - they are very brave. BUT, we all know at this point, that HE DOESN'T CARE. So, this won't get people fed, unless there are measurable, tangible consequences to Trump, personally.
He thinks he's untouchable. He needs to be shown that he's not, that he should be held to the same standards as everyone else. I highly doubt it'll happen though. 😒
SCOTUS gave Trump immunity which means he can do whatever he wants without consequences. SCOTUS need to remove his immunity. But they are too scared to and they support it.
He basically *is* above the law for any actions he takes that are even remotely related to his job as president, thanks to SCOTUS giving him immunity last year.
Even if appeals should reach them, they probably couldn’t even enforce any decision against him that *they* might (in)conceivably make without removing the immunity. Even that might have to happen *before* he might take whatever action would be in dispute.
This whole SNAP situation is pure evil. There are many people in this country that rely on SNAP. He doesn’t care if our neighbors or our Seniors eat. SMDH Biden would have never done something so evil to our Country.
That's my question. He has immunity and just laughs and thumbs his nose when he's told to do the right thing. Can't the Supreme Court take away his immunity? Sorry, dumb question of course they won't. He owns them.
I asked about taking away his immunity. A long, drawn out process that requires way too much work and hearings. But hey, a simple nod and wink, will get you exactly what you want. I keep wondering which SCOTUS are in the Epstein files. Blackmail can be a powerful tool. “Give me full immunity, or else…”
It’s time the Judge deputizes Marshall’s to do what the Justice Dept will not do. I’m sure there are some military veterans or contractors out there that still want to see our country survive this mess. Deputize an entire army of them and go over to the WH and arrest him, the enablers in the army bases (Miller, Noem, and Vought) and lock them up. It’s time for this shit show to end, just in time for Thanksgiving!
Since he has immunity, arrest all the enablers. With no one (or maybe diminishing numbers of enablers) to do his bidding, it will slow him down. Maybe also sue SCOTUS to overturn their ruling? Probably a long shot, though.
That would be lovely, but I think that only SCOTUS can order the marshalls to do thing, isn’t it? Can any other federal court do so?
Even if a court below SCOTUS did manage to get him carted off to jail, SCOTUS would just reverse it immediately, and order him released. Then, of course, he would sue the pants off of anyone involved, and likely win outright because of the immunity order, but certainly once appealed to SCOTUS.
The only way any sort of legal action against him would have any chance of getting him arrested would be if he did something criminal in his personal life, like, say, cheat on his taxes.
Oh, wait, even that, somehow wouldn’t do it 🤨
OK, so only if he were to do something else like beat someone up over an interpersonal mattered. Or rape someone.
If the US Marshall's do go the the WH as you suggest you forget that the secret service will step in to prevent that from happening since they are charged with protecting him.
Agreed. So despite post election celebration let’s not assume our situation has changed too much. President Madman has his foot on the gas and seems willing to take us all with him off the cliff.
Exactly! Nothing happens to him and nothing changes. Americans out here trying to teach our kids that actions have consequences.. and the president receiving no consequences!
Dear Scott, I think that drump's crowd is running out of laws to break........ little M. Johnson must quickly go back to work so that he can give his master some more new laws to break.
Yes, and typically also a monetary sanction. The issue is that the Federal Court's order enforcement arm is the US Marshals Service, and that organization is a part of US Attorney Pamela Bondi's DOJ. What are the odds AG Bondi would order the Marshals to arrest Trump? And that ignores the fact that Chief Justice Roberts and the 5 Supremes gave Trump immunity for criminal acts while President.
if Subway wasn't a hollow entity, they'd capitalize on the sandwich guys victory, and do a Subway sandwich throwing challenge to raise money for food banks, donating a dollar for every foot people throw a sandwich on video........ but alas I'm the crazy one
To borrow your own words - That is why independent journalism matters. The Epstein Files cover-up conspiracy rolls on and the administration celebrates every day that the media writes about other things.
The media has seemingly forgotten about this entirely.
Enough! The victims deserve justice and the world deserves to know the full truth. Only when it is forced into the open will Congress seriously consider walking away from this vile administration and set in motion the possibility of impeachment and removal.
*You ask your readers for $ with every post you publish. Why can't you also report on this vile cover-up conspiracy that is more damaging and depraved than anything that went on during Watergate with every post that you publish instead of aiding the administration in their scheme to distract the media and world by flooding the zone with garbage to make everyone forget about the Epstein files cover-up conspiracy?
*If TikTok is censoring your reporting on the Epstein Files cover-up conspiracy, why aren't you including a daily bullet point on it in your own Substack, which no one can censor?
*If you continue to post multiple updates daily without including a daily running tally of how long this administration has orchestrated a vile cover-up conspiracy on the Epstein Files then you are falling right into their distract the media trap by not keeping it in the discourse constantly, as it must be.
To that end, helping you out here with critical data on the Epstein Files cover-up conspiracy:
IT HAS BEEN 290 DAYS SINCE THE INAUGURATION. 290 DAYS THAT THE EPSTEIN FILES HAVE NOT BEEN RELEASED IN THEIR ENTIRETY FOR THE PUBLIC TO READ AND INTERPRET FOR THEMSELVES. 290 DAYS OF A MASSIVE COVER-UP CONSPIRACY INVOLVING THE ILLEGAL EXPLOITATION OF UNDERAGE PEOPLE BY POWERFUL INDIVIDUALS IN, OR ADJACENT TO, GOVERNMENT.
What could possibly be more important?
@Aaron Parnas - please be a trailblazer and take it from here, daily. We do look to you, and expect you, to include essential information on issues critical for the public to be aware of daily.
Can this get him in actual trouble? I’m telling you he isn’t giving them out bc those funds are no longer. Even half isn’t enough & I bet they don’t even have that! I wouldn’t be surprised if they completely drained that pot & lined their pockets!
Woo hoo!! Pay the SNAP benefits. That ruling to not pay SNAP is unconscionable but then he has no heart or brain. Let him go without food and see what happens. How dare he…
Sorry for the short update, I am running around all day. More full update coming this evening.
Thank you to all those who have become subscribers :)
You ALWAYS beat out everyone with your breaking news updates 🙌👏👍 And we GREATLY appreciate it 🇺🇸💙🤗
Why is there no arrest for noncompliance with court orders?
continue___US Marshals are under jurisdiction of DOJ , Attorney General, who will never allow them to act under this regime
Well this is insane. Then if there's no one with authority over POTUS, why even take these cases to court? He's just doing what he wants with no interference. ?????
Completely agree the “ other two branches” of our government are completely useless in combatting this ruthless corruption
That's what POTUS figures. Worst case where we still win, courts document everything, generals have had enough, and, perhaps in consultation with key Democrats in Congress and some in the Supreme Court - the ones who are trying to uphold the Constitution - the generals take temporary control.

Good iseas, but I can't judge.I am not a lawyer
YES, IT IS INSANE
who could or would actually arrest a president? Glad we still can vote... he may thieve to win.
pam bondage first met trump at the age of 13 at an epstein party. she's been groomed so she is never going to go against her master.
Can you tell me where you found that info? I'm not disagreeing with the absolute political hellscape that is happening due to our Rapist-In-Thief and his authoritarian regime. I just wanted to check the fact so more of this makes sense. I just don't know why he has these "allies" who are willing to betray the law, the courts, and any morals they may have left.
Thank you so much!
What I know, judges can issue a "contempt of court" and the have Us Marshals make an arrest. BUT US MARSHALS are under the jurisdictio
To answer your question, Aaron, you are doing plenty. I like it when you interview political figures, too. Just save some time for yourself.
Right? Its not like this is the first time he has defied a Judge's Orders. He blatantly defies orders
Yeah exactly so did he lay down any consequences if he doesn’t? Well he’s adhering to his oath. Thing would be if he pays it late will they still prosecute him as he’s spitting on the judicial system.
Because the Spreme Court are idiots
Other government officials can be held in contempt, though
what is done generally with us common citizens if we do not comply?
They done stole the money
More videos of interviews for example, on Capitol Hill. Great work!!
He do though
Don't ever apologize, Aaron. I may not be able to speak for all of us, but I am personally so thankful for your truthful reporting and the hard work you are doing during these trying times!
You do speak for all of us!!!
Appreciate you, Aaron.
Thank you!!!!! And yayyyyy for the sammich guy!
No worries. @AaronParnas. That's great news -- just wonder how quickly that time-line will be.
How much taxpayer money did wine box enthusiast “Judge” Jeanine Pirro waste impaneling a trial jury for a misdemeanor case, which she downgraded after failing to secure a grand jury felony indictment?
That’s what I’d like to know about *many* of these trials, not to mention the repeated involvement of multiple courts ordering Trump or other government officials to do this or that (or *not* do it) that they should have done/not done in the first place - and then trying to force them to comply when they ignore the first orders.

Get a loan from Argentina?????
Elon Musk could provide the loan. Or Peter Thiel. I'm sure their interest rates would be criminal.

Are you kidding me? You are amazing Aaron. Don't apologize.
Aaron, you are always up to the minute with the latest news.
You said Supreme Court decision about Tariffs is not til June!?!? Can’t that be fast tracked??
From what I've seen with other independent journalists, some of which have done legal background like Aaron, since thus was a special day hearing that they could rule as early as the end of the year. But this is no normal SCOTUS.
What about what is going on on Sudan
Pleas more of: political good news, and more pro-choice/ anti-choice updates like from Jessica Valenti on “Abortion, Every Day”. They are CRUCIAL!
It’s cool take care of you so u can continue to report the New
And what will be done to him? He always gets away with telling the courts to fuck off.
I want to know too! I appreciate what the judges are doing - they are very brave. BUT, we all know at this point, that HE DOESN'T CARE. So, this won't get people fed, unless there are measurable, tangible consequences to Trump, personally.
He thinks he's untouchable. He needs to be shown that he's not, that he should be held to the same standards as everyone else. I highly doubt it'll happen though. 😒
SCOTUS gave Trump immunity which means he can do whatever he wants without consequences. SCOTUS need to remove his immunity. But they are too scared to and they support it.
Contempt is what he’s guilty of. He thinks he’s above the law, you know.
He basically *is* above the law for any actions he takes that are even remotely related to his job as president, thanks to SCOTUS giving him immunity last year.
Even if appeals should reach them, they probably couldn’t even enforce any decision against him that *they* might (in)conceivably make without removing the immunity. Even that might have to happen *before* he might take whatever action would be in dispute.
Granting the conman immunity is a scary thought. You are correct. I remember the Supreme Court’s opinion.
With immunity to him by SCOTUS, he is above the law. The Supreme Court has made him a king.
You are so right, that’s exactly what SCOTUS has done. Now they have to try to rein the monster back in. He is nothing but an evil SOB!
I agree with you wholeheartedly!
This whole SNAP situation is pure evil. There are many people in this country that rely on SNAP. He doesn’t care if our neighbors or our Seniors eat. SMDH Biden would have never done something so evil to our Country.
That's my question. He has immunity and just laughs and thumbs his nose when he's told to do the right thing. Can't the Supreme Court take away his immunity? Sorry, dumb question of course they won't. He owns them.

That sounds wonderful.
Trump may have immunity, but his administration doesn't. Start arresting high ranking staff for contempt!
That's an excellent idea! Now if we could just get someone with some authority to follow through and do that...
Yeah. Work from the outside in and arrest those appointees who have broken the laws that trump ordered. Start with Noem, then go from there.
Who do think would start the process?
Wont Trump just pardon them like he does all crooks?
Agreed. So despite post election celebration let’s not assume our situation has changed too much. President Madman has his foot on the gas and seems willing to take us all with him off the cliff.
“Willing”? That seems to be his actual *goal.*
You’re right.
Exactly! Nothing happens to him and nothing changes. Americans out here trying to teach our kids that actions have consequences.. and the president receiving no consequences!
Yep.
So happy the Sandwich guy is free.
Let me know when this administration goes a whole day without breaking a new law.
I been waiting on this the entire time
You’re doing an incredible job.Aaron. No changes.
Don't hold your breath.
Dear Scott, I think that drump's crowd is running out of laws to break........ little M. Johnson must quickly go back to work so that he can give his master some more new laws to break.
Regime.
In you dreams!
In you dreams!
So don’t people usually get locked up for contempt of court? It he isn’t then why should any of us?
If only!!
Yes, and typically also a monetary sanction. The issue is that the Federal Court's order enforcement arm is the US Marshals Service, and that organization is a part of US Attorney Pamela Bondi's DOJ. What are the odds AG Bondi would order the Marshals to arrest Trump? And that ignores the fact that Chief Justice Roberts and the 5 Supremes gave Trump immunity for criminal acts while President.
Then arrest Bondi.
US Marshals can arrest, but they work under the Attorney General, and you know she will never allow them
Because his corrupt Supreme Court gave him immunity.

I think your right 🦋
Duh. And he’ll ignore this one too.
Impeach his ass already! GD!
TREASON!
Shocking! Trump is ignoring court orders? Violating the law!? What law? He’s the law.
Please take your country back
Won’t matter. They’ll say do it. He won’t. They’ll say we told you to do this. He’ll ignore them. Zero consequences.

Aaron, Epstein files!!! EVERY SINGLE DAY!! EVERY SINGLE UPDATE!!!
Big big fan of the rebuke, but we need more than words to rebuke him, there needs to be ACTION
Exactly!
The best part of the SNAP matter is that the judge used his own tweets against him 🤣 Poor Oompa Loompa is having a really rough week.
And I'm here for it 🛋️🍿🥤🍫
Woo hoo!! Pay the SNAP benefits. That ruling to not pay SNAP is unconscionable but then he has no heart or brain. Let him go without food and see what happens. How dare he…
Don't worry, that fat 🍊 Fuck's feedbag will always be full.
CHECKS AND BALANCES BUTTON
And what if they don't payout Snap by tomorrow Aaron? You know he won't unless they threaten his freedom
Sooooo……will that sharp rebuke force Tangerine Twatwaffle to release SNAP funds?
The answer is no. No. No he won’t release the SNAP funds even after the terrifying sharp rebuke.
I like the new name!🤣🤣
I’ve been using this since 2016. I stole it from a list I saw in Facebook 😝
