    90 Million Americans Sat Out 2024. The Midterms Are Where That Stops.

    I want you to consider something almost nobody stops to examine. In the 2024 presidential election, close to 90 million eligible Americans did not vote. One out of every three people who held the legal right to cast a ballot let that right go unused. That figure comes from the University of Florida Election Lab and the researchers who track turnout for a living. It carries no ideology. It is simply what happened. Now look at that number the way I look at an underperforming company. Ninety million people represent the single largest dormant asset in American civic life. The asset already exists. It is already paid for. It requires no new law, no new party, no new candidate, no new fundraising. It sits fully built and completely unactivated, the way a warehouse of finished inventory sits behind an owner who believes the answer is more advertising. In forty years of representing clients and in some cases, helping turn their businesses around, I found the same pattern almost every time. The owner chased something new and expensive while the highest and best use of their effort sat untouched in the next room. Here is where the leverage compounds. Midterm elections draw far fewer voters than presidential years. Fewer voters means every single ballot carries more weight, more influence, and more mathematical impact on the outcome. A vote you cast in a midterm buys you more result per unit of effort than a vote you cast in a presidential year. That is the definition of leverage, and most people walk past it. So if you are frustrated by corruption, worn down by self-dealing, and finished with conflicts of interest, and if you want to remove from office the people who enabled and continue to advance the agenda of the man now serving in the Oval Office, a man convicted on 34 felony counts and found liable by a jury for sexually abusing and defaming a woman, then understand what your effort is currently buying you. Another hour arguing online returns nothing. Zero. The activity feels like progress and produces no measurable outcome. Voting produces the outcome. Here is your assignment. Confirm your registration this week. Put the midterm date on your calendar today. Decide right now whether you vote by mail, early, or in person, and write that decision down. Then text three people you care about and walk them through the same four steps. That last step is where the multiplication happens. One activated voter is one vote. One activated voter who activates three others is a return you cannot buy with any amount of advertising. History does not belong to the loudest voice in the room. It belongs to the person who shows up. Mitch Jackson, Esq. This is a public episode.

    They Admitted It in Court: Trump Canceled Billions to Punish States That Voted Against Him

    The Trump administration admitted in court that it canceled billions in federal clean-energy grants based solely on whether states voted for Trump in 2024, targeting projects in states that backed Kamala Harris and had two Democratic senators, while sparing Republican states whose grants its own review had flagged for cancellation. Despite the major news networks not reporting on this story, it’s important news you should know about, and so I wanted to share the details in this quick Saturday morning video before heading out for an early morning paddle. Here’s the referenced linked document. Legal Exposure: Appropriations Clause and Impoundment Control Act: Refusing to spend funds Congress appropriated, for political reasons and outside the ICA’s procedures, is an unlawful impoundment. First Amendment political discrimination and unconstitutional conditions: Pulling federal benefits to punish political affiliation runs against the patronage-retaliation cases, though extending that individual-focused doctrine to a state’s aggregate vote is untested. Equal protection under the Fifth Amendment: Treating states differently based purely on how they voted, with the government conceding no policy justification, fits the rule that a bare desire to harm a politically unpopular group is not a legitimate purpose. Administrative Procedure Act, arbitrary and capricious and pretext: Canceling grants on a waste rationale that the filings show was actually electoral is textbook pretext, but a 2025 jurisdictional fight may force these payment claims out of district court and into the Court of Federal Claims. Take Care Clause and oath of office: Selectively refusing to execute appropriations to punish opponents violates the duty of faithful execution, though this works mainly as an impeachment theory rather than a standalone lawsuit. False statements to Congress and perjury: If the record contradicts Secretary Wright’s testimony that no decisions were political, that raises exposure under 18 U.S.C. § 1001 and, if he was sworn, § 1621, subject to a high materiality-and-intent bar. Hatch Act and executive ethics: Using official authority over grants to reward states that voted a certain way cuts against the bar on leveraging office to affect elections, though the President and Vice President are exempt and some appointees have carve-outs. Impeachment, high crimes and misdemeanors: Weaponizing the spending power to punish political opponents is an abuse-of-power theory that does not require an indictable crime and echoes the first Trump impeachment. This is something a new majority in Congress may want to review after the midterms. Before I do more of these, I have a quick question for you. Did you enjoy this video, or do you prefer my written posts? I’m thinking about sharing more videos like this whenever breaking news happens so I can give you timely analysis while the story is still unfolding. I’ll only do more of them if that’s what you want. Let me know your preference in the comments. I read them all. Thanks! Mitch Jackson, Esq. Uncensored Objection ™ is a reader-supported publication.

    The Republican Party Is Dead. I Can Prove It. (audio version)

    Hand a Reagan Republican from 1984 the agenda their party runs on today and they would not recognize a single page of it. That is not an insult. It is an autopsy, and in this episode I lay the body on the table and go through it organ by organ. Five conservative principles the party built its name on for fifty years. Small government. Personal freedom. Fiscal discipline. Free markets. The Constitution itself. I show you, with court rulings, budget numbers, and the laws being passed right now, how every one of them was abandoned, and I name the exact moment each promise died. This is the case I would make to a jury, and you are on it. You will hear why the government now stands in your doctor’s office and your kid’s classroom, why the party of the balanced budget drove the national debt past thirty nine trillion dollars, why the tariffs raising your grocery bill got struck down by this president’s own Supreme Court, and what all of it costs the country your children and grandchildren inherit. It runs under the length of your morning coffee. Press play, and let me prove it to you. See the written version here https://mitchthelawyer.substack.com Uncensored Objection. Law. Facts.
