The nation’s justices are facing a bizarre new scourge of food delivery pranks they say are designed to intimidate them into not challenging President Donald Trump‘s policies in court. Federal judges told the Washington Post that pizza orders, possibly numbering in the hundreds, have been sent to the homes of jurists in at least seven states since Trump assumed office for the second time.

The stunts appear to eerily draw upon the 2016 Pizzagate conspiracy theory, an extremist MAGA claiming the existence of a Satanic pedophilia ring in the Democratic Party.

Michelle Childs, a Washington Circuit Judge, told WaPo that she’d received no less than seven anonymous deliveries to her home since the beginning of February, with one arriving not long after she contributed to a ruling against the White House over firings at a government watchdog.

“It’s unsettling because I’d like to go to work every day, even with the hardest case, just feeling like there’s no sense of intimidation,” Childs said, adding, “You need a strong judiciary for the system to work. This is infringing on democracy generally.” Some of the orders have turned up under the name of New Jersey District Judge Esther Salas’ son, Daniel Anderl—who was shot dead at their family home back in 2020 by a disgruntled attorney disguised as a delivery driver.

1. Sounds like a Ring doorbell would be useful.

Don’t answer the door, talk to the delivery person with the speaker instead of in person and just refuse the delivery. You didn’t order it, and you don’t have to accept it. They have to leave and take the food away.

5. Yes! That's the best thing to do. I guess

they're already paid for? But no tip!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. Probably not paid for. Pizza shops fools for accepting large orders without payment or confirmation

If they did ring a local number to get "confirmation", then the local police have someone to put on the hook.

If the number is not local, then more the fool the pizza company.

2. DOJ and Bondi not going to investigate.....

think about it.

18. "Some the orders have turned up under the name of New Jersey District Judge Esther Salas' son, Daniel Anderl--

who was shot dead at their family home back in 2020 by a disgruntled attorney disguised as a delivery driver." These aren't pranks, they are death threats. Bondi isn't AG, she's Trump's enforcer.

3. They should accept every of of them -

Then give them to homeless shelters.

4. these pizzas arent cheap..feed the hungry on the magats dime!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. magas don't have money for it, and pizza shops are fools to make large orders without payment. . . nt

[OldBaldy1701E]

9. I say start threatening to charge any pizza place that does this as an accessory.

Then, charge a few. That stuff will stop the second one of the places has to actually answer for it.

They won't be making any 'pro bono' pizzas anymore.

[Cha]

6. Yeah, just don't accept as they are not

accepting their Intimidation Tactics.

[Buddyzbuddy]

10. Don't they require prepay and a phone # for call back?

Ours does. And, if not, it's a quick fix.

[FakeNoose]

11. It's a lame attempt at spreading terror among the federal judges

The crazy MAGAs are demonstrating that they know the private home addresses of the judge's entire family. How are the MAGAs getting this information? One possibility is that Elon Musk is raiding private government data archives and sharing it with RWNJs.

"We know where your children are. We can get to your parents and extended families. So don't you dare rule against us!" I wouldn't be surprised if some of these federal judges decide to resign very soon.

12. Sometimes I feel like we're living in a bad Saturday Night Live sketch.

[IronLionZion]

13. Sounds like unlawful use of intimidation against civilians in the pursuit of political aims.

but we can't call it terrorism for some reason. So I guess this is just highly organized and carefully planned mental illness.

[amcgrath]

14. Pizza places aren't delivering without a credit card and phone number are they?

it shouldn't be hard to track who is ordering them

[Mopar151]

15. Done with a hacked credit card!

Quite possibly one with the Judges name on it!

[Karasu]

16. How the fuck anyone can actually support this fucking insanity enough to engage in bullshit this stupid is beyond me.

17. MAGA morons are such babies.

Pathetic.
