Who is enforcing these judgements? Trump doesn’t have a good reputation for obeying the law, and neither he or his henchmen really care about the damage they are doing to our country.
I believe that if Dump himself ordered Musk to intentionally break the law then there would be no immunity possible for him or for Dump. But Dump could also claim he was doing “official business” for the president and even if the courts threw that out he could still tangle it up the courts, probably for years. These new moves by the courts are good and are not going to be so easy for him or Musk to just dismiss. Many of them will stay in place until the final outcomes of any court proceedings, appeals, etc. and again that could take until the end of his term, easily, and hopefully.
The president appoints the head of the US Marshals Service. The one appointed by Biden in 2021 retired: Ronald Davis retired from the U.S. Marshals Service on January 17, 2025.
US Marshall's Service =6100 sworn and unsworn people who work for the President trump's Executive Branch-The Justice Department. Marshalls need orders to act and are not Lone Ranger, Superman coming to save the day.
Civil/State enforcement is even more easily blocked by threats, blackmail, violence-you know the MOB stuff.
There will be no illegality, criminal act, indictment, sentence that cannot be remedied by the absolute power of a Presidential Pardon.
1500 insurrections including violent ones sentenced to long prison terms-free to roam again, Madoff, other buddies of grift, crime trump has already pardoned.
trump will resign and President Vance will pardon him.
Do you see yet that courts will not be the answer? Don't go down the wormhole again to wait and wait for justice to be done!
We the People are the ONLY answer. MLK, Gandhi and millions of other leaders have changed the world with non-violent resistence. Followers used nothing else beside what they had-voices, purchasing power, bodies. But millions together can do it with perseverance and brave sacrifices.
January 6 ers thought violence was part of equation. $ is a 4th branch of gov, sort of. When screwed, it screams. Military is another “ sort of”. Plus, many voters did not vote and half who did were not for this. All actions against Heritage/Leo/Republicans/Trump/Musk seem worthy; all of them. Judicial, local/state, Congressional, media, and then of course there is the wrenches in the cogs of industry….
How can they tell if information is destroyed, or not transferred and then 1 set is destroyed? I want to know how the cyber police are monitoring the hackers. Man, we can’t afford to dismantle any of our trusted FBI servants. Crash Patel!
The US Marshals are obeying Musk and Trump's orders to escort government employees out of their place of work. What makes you think they'll turn around and enforce judgments against Trump?
And Musk is p**sed about it too. To showcase his total lack of understanding how the American judicial system works, Elon's calling for the judge who issued the order yesterday morning to be impeached! Darn that judge for correctly doing his job!!
Musk’s “immunity” is a pardon from Trump for criminal acts.
There is no pardon or immunity for civil penalties. Or, for violation of State laws.
The latter is tricky. Will it be possible for state prosecutors to bring state criminal cases against him for what he is doing? There seem to be state charges developing against some of the pardoned insurrectionists. But whether those are viable remains to be to be seen.
But how did he find out so many $$ sent out with out social security numbers. THere is a pocket gadget that can read our SSN numbers etc even through metal?? One 19 year old in our stuff has a background for that kind of thing.
You must realize these are not ordinary people whose actions can be logically explained. Much of this information was out there before the election and almost a third of the registered voters didn’t vote.
I saw a podcast yesterday with George Conway that was very disturbing. He said that both trump and elon don't care about the laws. Even if the judges rule against them in these cases, they probably won't comply. And who will make them do so? If they are held in contempt, or ordered to jail for not complying, the US Marshals are the ones that will enforce those edicts.
However, the US Marshals fall under the Justice department, which falls under the Executive Branch. Therefore, it isn't going to happen.
Then we will be in a place where laws no longer matter. If they don't apply to some, why should they apply to anyone else in this country? There will be chaos.
Also, what keeps trump from leaving office?
He said that the only way he sees the possibility of change is if there is a public outcry and revolt.
I'm sorry to be such a Debbie Downer after reading your uplifting newsletter.
I listened to that this morning and I have to agree both with you and Conway; The People are really the only refuge from chaos and the complete abolition of the rule of law ... this, however, leads me to visualize innocent people being killed by the military called up by Trump via the Insurrection Act (to give him cover; he obviously doesn't care about the actual legality...) as in Tiananmen Square and the tanks. This is not an impossibility any more and you're not being a Debbie Downer to talk about it.
I also viewed George Conway’s podcast. Despite the content being quite unnerving, it did highlight the power of Americans through their voice and great sacrifice which has been displayed for decades. Presently, America has been effectively hamstrung. We, the People, are the last barrier to the complete hijacking of our Constitution and our democracy.
George Conway is not my favorite source because of his ex-wife but he is smart and tells the facts as they are.
This is it.
And Presidential pardons cover Musk, all Cabinet heads, any buddies of trump and coupmasters.
Pardons have no limits, no restrictions. They are absolute in the US Constitution. Should have been limited by Amendment decades ago. Put it on your "to do" list if We get our nation back.
Gabriela… I saw the same. We only have democracy ( ability to live in a republic nation and globally), if we agree on civility, a set of not just parameters)but agreed rules of law.
Every house every home, every institution will always require ongoing evaluation. Improvement always helps the house stand better.
We have always been diverse. ( even a man and a women to me is thr most diverse relationship there is).
Wanting power is greed. Wanting money is not evil. Wanting wealth at the expense of everyone else is evil.
We are needing to climb up the mountain every day.
We must face truth and it’s a downer. THEY WILL NOT COMPLY AND THERE IS NO ENFORCEMENT. Weak Dems didn’t do enough to prevent the last 3 weeks from happening. They could have blocked, delayed and obstructed as Indivisible has urged. Yet, they acquiesced and many voted for the horrid, evil, unqualified nominees. Schumer and Jeffries are weak leaders. We’re in a war. Our democracy is at stake. Not a time to be worried about being nice and observing protocol.
I was with you until your last sentence. Where I would disagree with you is that “we the people” let it happen. Maybe not you and me, but collectively, it happened because people voted for Trump. They chose the con.
You actually get it. US Marshalls are 6100 sworn and unsworn people spread around the US. They usually deliver subpoenas. Unsworn employees are what. Do they follow any code, take any oath to US Constitution, law/order-what just hired bodies?
There is no way of knowing that the stolen information has been deleted other than the promise of the rat himself. It's a pretty safe bet that the material was compressed, encrypted, and shipped off-site for layer dissemination. Encrypted, because there's a huge market for that information, and he isn't going to let it go for nothing. Given that his kids have been in there for days gathering information, it's unlikely that the cease and destroy order is worth the paper it's written on. While the rat of musk persuasion isn't smart enough to know how to get the information out, his kids would. It isn't hard. But it will be untraceable.
Court marshals are there to enforce the judge’s rulings and don’t forget, the fraudster and his little company still have a monitor installed checking on his business movements that he hasn’t been able to get rid of.
US Marshall are controlled by trump's Justice Dept. not the court's. There are 6100 Marshalls spread around the US. Some are sworn, some unsworn-just bodies. They bring in people who have fled bond, serve subpoenas, little stuff.
Nothing is illegal anymore for trump and all his coupmasters. Presidential pardons will erase any consequences to current criminal actions.
Don't get it yet? Think Russia, China-see any law/order, enforcement that impedes autocracy, oligarchy, kleptocracy there?
We have no law/order, justice, consequences because no enforcement or Presidential pardons make them a farce, a ruse, a comedy, a novel, a play, illusionary things, an idea.
There is NO enforcement power vested in court verdicts, orders, rulings.
DOJ, FBI, must enforce what the courts order. This is the way USA set up the powers of justice--so courts do not have too much power.
Musk, GOP, MAGA politicians in states etc. know if they stick close enough to trump/Heritage/Musk objectives they will make $$, get power through criminality and will get a Presidential pardon for their behavior.
Musk probably has his pardon already or he can blackmail trump/Vance into if with trump's private info., taxes, FBI investigations etc. You have to think like a powerful, wealthy, connected person and pretend you are that person.
Abstract, critical thinking and curiosity show you what they MAY do not what they CAN do.
🙌🏽⏰🔥⌛️⚖️🆘 If we acquiesce then we are done. And, given that choice most ppl will want to continue to oppose this coup & will view all the dirty deeds as provisional and not permanent. Who wants to just let Felon47 just walk in & Steal Everything We Hold Dear? Not me!!
I'm with you. The Economic Boycott February 28th is real I was notified by a local resistance group.
So stay home, BUY NOTHING, use no services, give no business to anyone but Mom and Pop small stores. I have done this during certain periods to do my own little protest. I will extend this Boycott as long as I can.
Right, why isn't he being held accountable. How do you raise a child or grandchildren up with the lies and deception knowing this is supposed to be a world leader. What a joke!
Ben, I called my representative Dan Crenshaw’s office every day last week to let him know what I thought of Elon Musk and his crew. Whether it does any good, only time will tell, but the very act of calling really brings my stress level down. I’m only one voice but I think the momentum is building.
Yep, same here. Most of the time I feel like a blue dot in a sea of red. I'm sure there are millions more just like us. All you can do is keep your head up, spread the word and vote like our future depends on it.
Good morning Ben and the Meidas Mighty! Due to my employment as a government contractor, I’m not able to do much… but know I’m fighting with you all in spirit! We got this!
I definitely would like to see a “War Room” for immediately responding to disinformation, misinformation and outright lies. Like Karoline Leavett’s snarky comment that Federal Workers are ripping taxpayers off and should think about working in the private sector where they can be more productive. A blanket insult she pulled from where?…don’t let her get away with that. Someone should ask her why she’s insulting 2 million plus people she knows nothing about. Make her the fool
Absolutely!!!! The messaging, attacking the lies and propaganda needs to begin before trump and right wing media began shaping the narrative. Their narratives are so predictable that it can be done. Yes MTN is awesome but the war room with everyone being on the same page and overloading social media at the same time with the initial responses will help weaken their attacks tremendously I believe. I believe this is what Jim Acosta was referring to.
We absolutely need a team to combat Every Lie within minutes with cold hard facts. In the past the Dems would debunk One Lie 3 days after it came out. In the meantime there would be a thousand more lies out there. Love the War Room idea!
Brian Tyler Cohen is putting togeter a group of podcasters right now called Chorus. Meidas should get him on ASAP to find out what this action is all about.
Build an Allied style WW2 coalition that can defeat the Trump-Musk-Gop Axis of Eviil
Resistance needs to do as much as possible to take on the 2025 nightmare.
Ben, thank you for all you and your brothers are doing to keep our freedom of speech. And to all of the other members of the MeidasTouch Network, thank you for your hard work and your diligence and ferreting out all the news.
I'm soo thankful I have this community for support, otherwise my sanity would be at Trump's level. And, OMG that's a place none of us want to be!! Thanks again to MTN, their families and the Meidas Mighty. Stay safe, stay strong and never stop fighting!!
BTW, my friends and family are boycotting the Super Bowl today. We want ratings to reflect Trump's inauguration and to stick to billionaire corporations who paid millions for commercials. Let's pray Trump and cronies are BOOED out of the stadium!!
Good for you! I don’t understand why all progressives aren’t boycotting the Superbowl for removing End Racism from endzone. Turn on TV on another station, I was told.
"The Senate phone system has been receiving around 1,600 calls each minute, compared to the 40 calls per minute it usually gets - thus disrupting the system." FLOOD THEIR ZONE! (202-224-3121) #Politics
I personally called our state reps office and Mitch Mcconnells office. Both mailboxes were full. I was given an email to send to the Republican senate office for McConnell and that email was declined. I can just imagine the chaos going on…gives me a small bit of glee
I was able to write a personal email to McConnell. Did you see his 60 Minute interview? Pretty obvious that he still hates Trump. He didn't impeach Trump because he thought the courts would do it. I told him that it wasn't too late to save democracy and that he alone could control how he will be looked at historically.
Good great Super Bowl morning to all... Good to always know the Meidas Mighty are on duty. I only worry that these court wins are temporary. The lies are still pouring out from Trump and his team of greedy power hungry loyalists and the right wing media. Telling us we have to put up with pain while they steal information, dismantle the government illegally, and fill their pockets with tax break for the wealthy. Beating down the rights disinformation machines is getting to the heart of beating back their Anti American agenda.
As a member it's especially nice to still be able to comment on the people we have reason to hate. Special benefit because I get banned from youtube as soon as I'm allowed back on. Thank you
Who is enforcing these judgements? Trump doesn’t have a good reputation for obeying the law, and neither he or his henchmen really care about the damage they are doing to our country.
Very good point.
Enforcement is critical!!!
The courts use the US Marshals' Service.
Civil judgments are processed through remedies like garnishment. https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/how-creditors-enforce-judgments.html
Musk is a private citizen and probably has no immunity. Yesterday, a federal judge temporarily blocked a Trump administration team led by Musk from accessing government payment processing systems in response to a challenge from the attorneys general in 19 states. Complaint.'https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/court-filings/state-of-new-york-et-al-v-trump-doge-temporary-restraining-order-memo-2025.pdf
Do the US Marshals report to the current DOJ? If so, doesn't that mean that Trump can stop them from enforcing the law? (I hope this is not the case).
In the meantime, the more We The People work together, the less power they will ultimately have.
If they don't follow the judges' orders, they'll be in contempt. Using the power of civil coercive contempt, can be jailed until they comply.
Funds for the federal judiciary are included annually in the Financial Services and General Government (FSGG) appropriations bill. https://www.uscourts.gov/data-news/reports/annual-reports/directors-annual-report/annual-report-2023/funding-and-budget-annual-report-2023
If they refuse to fund the courts, the courts can hold the administration in contempt.
Pending motions to unfreeze funds. https://riag.ri.gov/press-releases/attorney-general-neronha-files-motion-enforce-court-order-unfreeze-federal-funding
I believe that if Dump himself ordered Musk to intentionally break the law then there would be no immunity possible for him or for Dump. But Dump could also claim he was doing “official business” for the president and even if the courts threw that out he could still tangle it up the courts, probably for years. These new moves by the courts are good and are not going to be so easy for him or Musk to just dismiss. Many of them will stay in place until the final outcomes of any court proceedings, appeals, etc. and again that could take until the end of his term, easily, and hopefully.
According to Wikipedia the DOJ is their parent agency, but they work for the district courts. They report to the judges.
Yes, they are directed by the U.S. Attorney General who is Pam Bondi........you think she will direct them arrest Musk???
The president appoints the head of the US Marshals Service. The one appointed by Biden in 2021 retired: Ronald Davis retired from the U.S. Marshals Service on January 17, 2025.

Madoff petitioned trump for clemency - it was never granted.
January 6 ers thought violence was part of equation. $ is a 4th branch of gov, sort of. When screwed, it screams. Military is another “ sort of”. Plus, many voters did not vote and half who did were not for this. All actions against Heritage/Leo/Republicans/Trump/Musk seem worthy; all of them. Judicial, local/state, Congressional, media, and then of course there is the wrenches in the cogs of industry….
He also ordered them to destroy what they took.
My questions are is it too late? Will they comply with destroying the information? How can we be sure our information is being protected?
Welllllllllllllll it snows in July
How can they tell if information is destroyed, or not transferred and then 1 set is destroyed? I want to know how the cyber police are monitoring the hackers. Man, we can’t afford to dismantle any of our trusted FBI servants. Crash Patel!
But Trump could pre pardon Musk. Isn't that what Biden did with the J6 investigative committee members?
The US Marshals are obeying Musk and Trump's orders to escort government employees out of their place of work. What makes you think they'll turn around and enforce judgments against Trump?
No proof of that. Baloney.
And Musk is p**sed about it too. To showcase his total lack of understanding how the American judicial system works, Elon's calling for the judge who issued the order yesterday morning to be impeached! Darn that judge for correctly doing his job!!
I'd issue an order to show cause why he should be held in contempt and order that he appear ASAP.
Lead by musk 😂. A boy with money that's all he is.
Musk’s “immunity” is a pardon from Trump for criminal acts.
There is no pardon or immunity for civil penalties. Or, for violation of State laws.
The latter is tricky. Will it be possible for state prosecutors to bring state criminal cases against him for what he is doing? There seem to be state charges developing against some of the pardoned insurrectionists. But whether those are viable remains to be to be seen.
Depends on state law. There are lots of mandated funds, matching funds, etc that may be affected.
I'm still expecting there will be tort actions stemming from election interference.
But how did he find out so many $$ sent out with out social security numbers. THere is a pocket gadget that can read our SSN numbers etc even through metal?? One 19 year old in our stuff has a background for that kind of thing.
I’m a lot more mentally active too!
You must realize these are not ordinary people whose actions can be logically explained. Much of this information was out there before the election and almost a third of the registered voters didn’t vote.
I still can’t wrap my brain around those 90 million registered voters not voting!!!???

Thank you. I had forgotten that George also mentioned pardons for everyone. To possibly include Trump pardoning himself.
Trump will resign before very long and President Vance, clean handed (ha) will step in and pardon trump. No problems at all for trump.

Good morning Meidas Mighty and fam.
That’s my question. Even though it’s court-ordered, how do we know if they’re destroying the information they’ve obtained thus far? 🤔
Please help me understand that. Because like Larry M. said, Trump and his goonies care NOTHING about the law.
Have a good Puppy Bowl and Super Bowl LIX day! 🐶🏈
And have a great Superb Owl Day as well!
Funny!
There is no way of knowing that the stolen information has been deleted other than the promise of the rat himself. It's a pretty safe bet that the material was compressed, encrypted, and shipped off-site for layer dissemination. Encrypted, because there's a huge market for that information, and he isn't going to let it go for nothing. Given that his kids have been in there for days gathering information, it's unlikely that the cease and destroy order is worth the paper it's written on. While the rat of musk persuasion isn't smart enough to know how to get the information out, his kids would. It isn't hard. But it will be untraceable.
Court ordered? So what. Who’s going to enforce it? US Marshalls, who report to Pam Bondi, who does whatever Trump tells her.
Court marshals are there to enforce the judge’s rulings and don’t forget, the fraudster and his little company still have a monitor installed checking on his business movements that he hasn’t been able to get rid of.
IMHO Musk has to be the greatest target defendant of all time.
Exposed to damages for election interference under state law. Usurped the powers of the government? Product liability for flaming Teslas?
US Marshall are controlled by trump's Justice Dept. not the court's. There are 6100 Marshalls spread around the US. Some are sworn, some unsworn-just bodies. They bring in people who have fled bond, serve subpoenas, little stuff.
Nothing is illegal anymore for trump and all his coupmasters. Presidential pardons will erase any consequences to current criminal actions.
Don't get it yet? Think Russia, China-see any law/order, enforcement that impedes autocracy, oligarchy, kleptocracy there?
We have no law/order, justice, consequences because no enforcement or Presidential pardons make them a farce, a ruse, a comedy, a novel, a play, illusionary things, an idea.
We can thank the SUPREMELY CORRUPT Court (of fools) for much of this. But the Judicial Branch is our only hope and so far, they are doing the job.
Don’t count on it. With Pam Bondi as Attorney General, she’ll do whatever Trump wanats.
This is a cut and paste of a previous post.
There is NO enforcement power vested in court verdicts, orders, rulings.
DOJ, FBI, must enforce what the courts order. This is the way USA set up the powers of justice--so courts do not have too much power.

No one! Trump owns all enforcement.
Exactly who watched elon destroy the records he has obtained? Lret's hope someone as cunning as elon is on our side and will outplay him
Exactly my question for both sides.
Right, why isn't he being held accountable. How do you raise a child or grandchildren up with the lies and deception knowing this is supposed to be a world leader. What a joke!
No kidding. He’s been so horrible for so long

Good for you! I don’t understand why all progressives aren’t boycotting the Superbowl for removing End Racism from endzone. Turn on TV on another station, I was told.
I might tune in to see if people boo at Trump who will be there
YES, 💯 👏
"The Senate phone system has been receiving around 1,600 calls each minute, compared to the 40 calls per minute it usually gets - thus disrupting the system." FLOOD THEIR ZONE! (202-224-3121) #Politics
I personally called our state reps office and Mitch Mcconnells office. Both mailboxes were full. I was given an email to send to the Republican senate office for McConnell and that email was declined. I can just imagine the chaos going on…gives me a small bit of glee
I saw mentioned that constituents actually write them letters. They seem to HATE WRITTEN LETTERS! So flood that zone too! #Politics
I was able to write a personal email to McConnell. Did you see his 60 Minute interview? Pretty obvious that he still hates Trump. He didn't impeach Trump because he thought the courts would do it. I told him that it wasn't too late to save democracy and that he alone could control how he will be looked at historically.
Yes!
Hi Mayor Ben.
Truth is what drives us & Facts are our destination.
The journey may be long & sometimes tiresome, take a break, restock our energy.
The last 50 miles & the last hill look daunting. But together we can push easier & we will cross the line together.
Don't ever submit.
Never stop.
We got this !
Good morning Ben and Team! Thanks for all you are doing! Also look forward to the morning coffee message and loved this morning’s pep talk!!
Good morning Ben and all the Meidas Mighty. Happy Sunday 😎
It's posts like this that makes me feel so much better and inspired to go forward which I definitely need today. I honestly can't thank you enough 💕
Good morning, Ben, and all the Meidas Mighty! I'm enjoying my coffee and starting to feel just a little bit hopeful.
Good great Super Bowl morning to all... Good to always know the Meidas Mighty are on duty. I only worry that these court wins are temporary. The lies are still pouring out from Trump and his team of greedy power hungry loyalists and the right wing media. Telling us we have to put up with pain while they steal information, dismantle the government illegally, and fill their pockets with tax break for the wealthy. Beating down the rights disinformation machines is getting to the heart of beating back their Anti American agenda.
They're like cockroaches
Not so great to remove “End Racism” from end-zone!
Obey the leader... fear is a powerful weapon. Just ask the RepublicSCAMs in Congress.
Sipping proudly! We can do this! 💙
As a member it's especially nice to still be able to comment on the people we have reason to hate. Special benefit because I get banned from youtube as soon as I'm allowed back on. Thank you
🤣👍
I can't think where this came from....
We won't die quietly. We will fight, we will survive & we will WIN !
