Federal Judges Just Stopped Two Major Trump Plans - Adam Kinzinger



Two federal judges just delivered major setbacks to the Trump administration, raising new questions about how far the White House is willing to go and whether the courts remain the last line of defense.

A federal judge in Minnesota threw out DOJ subpoenas targeting Democratic officials, calling the effort a "blatantly unlawful and unethical" misuse of the grand jury process. Meanwhile, another judge struck down the administration's voter database overhaul after finding that millions of Americans had their personal information repurposed in ways that threatened voting rights and privacy protections.

Adam Kinzinger breaks down both rulings, why they matter, and what they reveal about the administration's approach to political opponents, elections, and executive power.

Plus: Trump threatens to sue ABC News over coverage of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool fiasco. Massive protests erupt in Albania over a Kushner-backed luxury resort tied to Qatari money. JD Vance scrambles to defend Trump's latest Iran negotiations after the President's threats complicate diplomacy. And Tucker Carlson announces he's leaving the Republican Party after 35 years, raising questions about where the MAGA movement goes next. - 06/23/2026.
