Many things have happened. Here are some of the things. This is the morning memo of TPM. Register For the e-mail version.
An unprecedented overview
Recently published emails and SMS offer an extraordinary overview of internal government communications in some of the most substantial legal cases of the first months of the Trump II presidency.
Internal communications come from Erez Reveni, a lawyer from the Ministry of Career justice who was dismissed by the Trump administration for being too frank with the court in the Abrego Garcia case. E-mails and SMS strengthen the previous allegations that Rebeni had made to search for denunciation protections.
For our needs, the most important element of Reuvenni’s revelations is the provided for federal courts, including misleading, if not downright false representations, judges, indefensible legal posts and violations of judicial orders. The main villain of the story provided by Reveni continues to be the head of the MJ Emil Bove, the former personal lawyer of President Trump who was climbing on the herd on the first most controversial cases of Trump II and who said that Reuvéni had declared to the MJ staff that they might have to say to the “kissing” courts. “”
Among the strengths:
- In the Alien Enemies Act case before judge James Boasberg to DC, Rebeni sent a text to a colleague on the alleged commentary of Bove: “I suppose that we are going to say” Fuck you “in court. Super”, he wrote. The colleague replied: “Well, Pamela Jo Bondi is. Not you.”
- In the case of the AEA, it was Bove, according to internal communications, which said that it was legally allowed to go beyond Venezuelan detainees in Salvador despite the ordinance of judge Boasberg.
- In the Abrego Garcia case, internal communications show a race from the Trump administration to find evidence in support of the appellant an “leader” of the MS-13 as a wider FROGIS campaign of the wrongly deported Salvadora.
For its part, Bove denied having proposed to challenge the courts and said that he does not remember saying “fuck you”.
Why this is Emil Bove
The moment of the Reuvenni revelations is strategic, which does not mean that they are in a way compromised or not credible. The leader of the Reuvenni account is about to obtain a seat for life on a federal court of appeal, so wait later to tell his story in whole would be too little, too late.
The appointment of Bove to the third Circuit Court of Appeals should be voted in the Senate judicial committee next week. Senator Thom Tillis (R-R-NC) said this week that he would vote “probably” to confirm Bove in a committee, practically assuring that the appointment would go to the ground, where it is not clear that the GOP senators will resist the nomination for life of Bove.
Discrete purges continue at Doj
Beyond the start of mass shots at the Doj and the FBI, a constant drum of shooting, demotions and resignations continues, reports the WAPO:
The Trump administration draws and pushes employees through the Ministry of Justice and the FBI, often without explanation or warning, creating speculation and rampant fear within the workforce on which could then be dismissed, according to several people with knowledge of the moves that have spoken of the anonymity condition to avoid compensation.
The FBI uses polygraphs to test the fidelity to the patel
Dozens of FBI staff members have been subject to polygraphs to try to sniff news leaks and disloyalty to the director of the FBI, Kash Patel, reports the NYT:
The use of the polygraph and the nature of the questioning are part of the broader repression of the FBI on news leaks, reflecting, to a certain extent, the acute consciousness of Mr. Patel of the way in which it is publicly described. The movements, according to the former officials of the office, are politically loaded and very inappropriate, emphasizing what they describe as an alarming quest for fidelity to the FBI, where there is little tolerance for dissident. The denigration of Mr. Patel or his assistant, Dan Bongino, according to the former officials, could cost people their work.

He interrupted his decision for seven days to give the Trump administration to the time to call it.
Khalil continues the federal government for $ 20 million

Khalil requests $ 20 million for false imprisonment, malicious proceedings and other complaints. Khalil has been released from detention, but his immigration case is still pending.
Harvard tries (in vain) to appease the Trump administration
WSJ: “Harvard leaders discussed the creation of a program that people informed the talks described as a Scholarship Center for Conservative, perhaps on the model of the Hoover Institution in Stanford, while the school fights the accusations of the Trump administration that it is too liberal.”
Brutal and self-deficiency
The Trump administration has decided to modify the old decades policy and refuse access to undocumented immigrants to Head Start and other federal advantages programs.
2026 ephemeral
The primary of the GOP for the Senate in Texas is not for the low hearts.
State senator Angela Paxton (R), the wife of the Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton (R), who questions the outgoing senator John Cornyn (R), announced that she was depositing the divorce:
Today, after 38 years of marriage, I asked for divorce for biblical reasons.
I believe that marriage is a sacred alliance and I have seriously searched reconciliation. But in the light of recent discoveries, I do not believe that she honors God or that I love him for me, my children or ken to …
– Senator Angela Paxton (@angelapaxtontx) July 10, 2025
Many things that happen there.
The national republican senatorial committee, the campaign arm of the GOP of the Senate which is desperate to lose the siege of Cornyn, quickly jumped from the news. “What Ken Paxton has been crossing his family is really repugnant and disgusting,” said a spokesperson.
