Imagine this: You’re playing football. But every time your team gets the ball, the other team runs to the ref, throws a flag, and calls for a review — even if you haven’t done anything wrong.
That’s what’s happening in politics today. Only instead of referees, it’s judges. And instead of footballs, it’s our freedoms and votes at stake.
This week, we got a peek behind the curtain.
Rep. Laura Friedman (D-CA) spilled the beans at a town hall meeting.
She flat-out admitted that House Democrats have been holding weekly meetings with state attorneys general to coordinate legal attacks against Donald Trump and his policies.

Yes, you read that right: politicians are working with government lawyers to sue the guy they couldn’t beat at the ballot box.
Weekly. Every single week. Behind closed doors.
Friedman said: “Maybe 75 members of the House sit down with the AGs to talk about legal strategy.”
Her words — not ours.
This isn’t just politics anymore. This is “lawfare.” That’s when you use the legal system, not to get justice, but to sabotage your political enemies.
It’s like using a judge’s gavel as a baseball bat.
Now let’s talk about Nevada’s top lawyer, Attorney General Aaron Ford. While Friedman didn’t name Ford directly, his fingerprints are all over this thing.
He’s co-chair of the Democratic Attorneys General Association and has led or joined multiple lawsuits that just happen to line up with these anti-Trump efforts.
Here are just a few recent examples:
- DOGE Lawsuit: In February, Ford joined 19 other AGs to sue Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Why? Because it tried to check how government money was being spent. Instead of asking questions, Ford sued.
- NIH Grant Lawsuit: In April, Ford sued again — this time over Trump’s cuts to research grants. No mention of waste, no attempt to work with Congress. Just another lawsuit.
- Birthright Citizenship Order: Trump signed an executive order to limit birthright citizenship. Ford sued over that, too. And don’t forget his fight to restore old education programs from the pandemic days.
None of these lawsuits are about enforcing the law. They’re about blocking Trump. Period.
That’s not justice. That’s politics in a robe.
Even liberal supporters are saying the quiet part out loud.
Friedman responded to the backlash by admitting the “Democrats Litigation/Response Task Force” is designed to “stop Trump’s illegal & unconstitutional actions.”
But here’s the thing: If Trump’s actions were truly illegal, you wouldn’t need 75 Democrats in a war room every week planning lawsuits. You’d let the courts handle it like any other case.
This isn’t about justice. It’s about sabotage.
Conservatives on X called it a “shadow government.” Some said it smells like treason.
At best, it’s a sneaky end-run around democracy. At worst, it’s a hijacking of the legal system by the folks who lost the election.
Let’s be real here. Aaron Ford might not be in that weekly Zoom meeting with House Democrats, but he’s marching in lockstep.
His lawsuits are lining up perfectly with the Democrats’ hit list. When it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…well, it ain’t no walrus.
Even some on the left aren’t thrilled. Friedman got heckled at her own town hall — by fellow Democrats — for not going hard enough against Trump.
That should tell you something.
Meanwhile, Republicans like Sen. Mike Lee and Rep. Darrell Issa are trying to stop this nonsense. They’re pushing legislation to rein in activist judges and fight back against lawfare.
Good. It’s about time.
So what now?
This should be a wake-up call. We can’t sit back while partisan hacks use lawsuits to overturn elections they lost.
If you care about free elections, the rule of law, and government that works for you, not the political elite, it’s time to speak up. Demand answers. Demand transparency.
And for the love of liberty, demand that your attorney general stop playing politics and start serving the people of Nevada who voted for President Trump.
