DOGE chief Elon Musk took to 𝕏 to briefly state the challenge America is having with activist judges attempting to subvert the Trump administration’s agenda, and thereby subvert the will of the people.
If ANY judge ANYWHERE can block
EVERY Presidential order EVERYWHERE,
we do NOT have democracy,
we have TYRANNY of the JUDICIARY.

While none of the cases have reached the conservative-leaning Supreme Court yet, most rulings have been against the administration. The handful of victories have been important but the overall cooling effect on President Donald Trump’s plans has made an impact. Taxpayer dollars that should be better used are still being wasted.
According to Grok:
Elon Musk’s post reflects ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and federal judiciary, highlighted by recent court blocks on Trump’s executive orders, such as those targeting diversity programs and Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, as reported by PBS and AP News.
The post aligns with a broader debate about nationwide injunctions, where federal judges issue rulings that halt executive actions nationwide, a practice criticized by some as judicial overreach, according to Wikipedia and legal scholars like Justice Clarence Thomas.
Musk’s statement echoes concerns raised by Vice President JD Vance and others, who argue that such judicial actions undermine democratic processes, amid a surge in such injunctions against Trump’s policies since 2017, fueling discussions on X and in legal circles.
Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
