Trump’s ICE Creates LAWSUIT NIGHTMARE for Administration!!!
Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian cover DHS’s plan to spend up to $20 million on a no-bid contract for electric shock gloves for ICE officers, a device called the G.L.O.V.E. that delivers up to 380 volts of direct-contact shock and, unlike a Taser, leaves no burn marks or visible injury.
Brian traces the disturbing parallel to cattle prods used against civil rights protesters in the 1960s, and explains why the device’s marketing as an “invisible partner” is itself a red flag: no warning is required before use, and the lack of physical evidence makes abuse nearly impossible to prove after the fact.
Shant walks through the Fourth Amendment use-of-force framework from Graham v.
Connor, which weighs the severity of the underlying offense, whether the person poses an immediate threat, and whether less intrusive

Trump Prosecutors TOSSED OUT of COURT as Judges DISQUALIFY THEM!!!
In a blockbuster ruling, a federal appeals court struck a blow against the Trump Justice Department’s practice of installing loyalists in U.S. Attorney positions without legal or constitutional authorization.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously affirmed the disqualification of Nevada’s top federal prosecutor Sigal Chattah, a failed MAGA politician whose campaign for state AG collapsed amid controversy about comments widely denounced as racist.
In an opinion written by U.S. Circuit Judge Eric Miller, a Trump-appointee, a three-judge panel found that the DOJ couldn’t leave her in power by simply changing her title.
The ruling’s reasoning likely invalidates the tenure of Los Angeles-based prosecutor Bill Essayli, too. Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News explains.

Trump’s WHITE HOUSE in COLLAPSE as Resignations and Firings MOUNT!!!
Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian break down a new Partnership for Public Service analysis finding 27 Senate-confirmed officials have departed the Trump administration in just 18 months – more than six times the pace of the Bush, Obama, and Biden administrations at the same point, and more than double Trump’s own first-term turnover of 11 departures.
Brian and Shant run through the highest-profile exits:
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, fired; Attorney General Pam Bondi, fired; Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, resigned amid a dispute; and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who cited a family health issue after clashing with Trump over Iran policy. Her deputy, National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent, resigned in
protest over the Iran conflict – a decision Brian and Shant note carries extra weight given his wife, a fellow military veteran, was killed in action in the Middle East.
Other departures include FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, who resigned after Trump rolled back flavored-vape regulations following a Mar-a-Lago meeting with tobacco lobbyists; CDC
Director Susan Monarez, removed after resisting RFK Jr.’s pressure on vaccine policy; Navy Secretary John Phelan; and IRS Commissioner Billy Long, reassigned to an ambassadorship in Iceland.
Brian and Shant flag a related trend: Trump increasingly leans on acting officials to sidestep Senate confirmation entirely, a workaround with essentially no legal limit on duration.
Brian’s bottom line: this level of turnover isn’t politics as usual — it’s a warning sign of an administration hemorrhaging experienced officials, whether by choice or by force.

‘World bribery financial’: Reaction to Trump family crypto venture getting bank status
Top U.S. & World Headlines – August 17, 2026
MAGA Turns on Trump’s ICE LEADERSHIP!!!
Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian break down the
MAGA revolt against Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, who’s facing calls for his ouster less than six months into the job after telling the National Governors Association that mass deportation isn’t one-size-fits-all
– industries like hospitality, agriculture, and home healthcare rely on immigrant labor, and claims that immigrants are stealing American jobs aren’t true across the board.
Far-right influencer Laura Loomer, an outspoken Trump ally, responded by branding Mullin “Markwayne Muslim” and accusing him of enabling an
“Islamic takeover of America” and giving cover to “Muslim communists,” while Steve Bannon, Tomi Lahren, Robby Starbuck, and former border czar-at-large
Gregory Bovino piled on, calling Mullin “the wrong guy at the wrong time for the wrong job.” The Wall Street Journal has reported growing frustration from Trump himself, even as DHS points to record deportation, arrest, and self-deportation numbers under Mullin’s watch and the White House insists his job isn’t in jeopardy. Brian and Shant push back hard on the substance:
Mullin’s comments were a mild, obvious acknowledgment that mass deportation carries real economic costs, and there’s zero connection between deporting Latino immigrants and any so-called Islamic threat.
Brian’s bottom line: a 30-something social media influencer with no government experience is now driving DHS policy debates, and the administration’s mass-deportation coalition is starting to
fracture under the weight of its own contradictions.
