When people in Washington lower their voices and say, “Please don’t use my name. I’m afraid he’ll come after my family’s livelihood,” it means something has broken. People no longer trust the law to protect them.

The administration’s scam is to point to something already illegal, pretend it’s rampant, and demand sweeping powers to “fix” it. The Cato Institute says noncitizens are not voting in detectable numbers. The Brennan Center found suspected cases at 0.0001%. This has nothing to do with evidence and is all about building machinery for voter suppression.

The administration stripped funding from PBS and NPR in the name of ending taxpayer subsidies for “biased” media. Now tax dollars may flow to OAN, tied to election conspiracy claims. Apparently “biased media” is fine when it’s their biased media.

Taxpayer dollars Congress allocated to strengthen the Secret Service after assassination attempts on Trump are now reportedly being redirected to White House construction, including the East Wing project. Congress and taxpayers deserve the truth.

When Vance says "the deep state took down Richard Nixon," he isn't just defending Nixon, he's attacking the idea that Congress, courts, and a free press can check a president who abuses power. The goal is to normalize presidential impunity. For Trump now. Potentially or Vance later.

Steven Cash warns Trump’s proposed January 6 "settlement" resembles the kind of state-funded loyalty network or private militia support system often seen under rising authoritarian regimes overseas.

A judge dismissed all charges against the Broadview Six after learning prosecutors communicated with grand jurors outside the jury room, excused dissenting jurors, and redacted misconduct from transcripts. The judge said her trust in the DOJ was broken. Think about how extraordinary that is.

Judge Crenshaw told DOJ and DHS officials: stop talking about Abrego Garcia in public in ways that could poison the jury pool. Patel is a DOJ official. Calling Abrego a “convicted gang-banging rapist” on camera looks like exactly the kind of public attack the judge warned them not to make.

A week ago, Kash Patel told Congress that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was a “convicted gang-banging rapist.” False. Today, a federal judge dismissed the separate DOJ case against Abrego Garcia, finding the prosecution was tainted by vindictiveness and reflected an abuse of prosecutorial power. The DOJ case was about something else. But Patel’s lie tells you a lot about the climate it came from.

The government is promoting the “rededication” of the United States to God, which collapses the line between private religion and state authority. They don’t get to define national belonging in religious terms. It’s exactly what the First Amendment was designed to prevent. #holdfast

ICE is being redesigned. They cut its training academy from 72 to 42 days, slashed hours on the Constitution and use of force, and even removed firearms safety and protest-rights instruction. As explained in Steady State's most recent Substack article, DHS is spending 100 million on a wartime-style recruitment blitz targeted at UFC fans, gun shows, and “patriotic” podcasts. This is an intentional pipeline for ideology, not public service. Aliya Rahman’s testimony shows exactly what that produces.

The National Trust's reply brief in the ballroom case dropped Wednesday night. It is a quietly brutal filing and accuses three of DOJ's most senior lawyers of making false factual claims.

Gov’t officials swear to support the Constitution. Loyalty to the President ahead of that oath enables authoritarian governance. Major General Randy Manner (Ret), explains that Hegseth’s words are that of a war criminal coming from someone who, as someone who was kicked out of the D.C. National Guard, has no qualifications to be the Secretary of Defense.

Justice Robert H. Jackson, a Supreme Court Justice and the chief U.S. prosecutor at Nuremberg, established the modern doctrine that individuals are legally accountable for unlawful acts even if committed under orders—a principle that underpins today’s U.S. military law and the Nuremberg Principle IV.

Steven Cash, Executive Director of the Steady State, responds to Trump’s Truth Social post regarding the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife, where Trump says the murder was justified, expected, and inevitable because Reiner had what Trump calls 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' and ‘angered people.’ This fits a broader authoritarian pattern of public cruelty meant to intimidate opponents. Steve notes that maybe it’s time that Americans on both sides of the aisle say “enough.” #holdfast #getsmart #SteadyState
