What the Evidence Shows

The claim states that the American Bar Association (ABA) 'just dropped a massive federal lawsuit against the Trump regime, naming every single department and every single cabinet member. ' Breaking this down, the ABA did file a major lawsuit challenging executive orders issued by the Trump administration that targeted law firms and lawyers. The lawsuit names more than two dozen federal departments and agencies as defendants, along with the heads of those departments and agencies.

This aligns with the claim that multiple departments and cabinet members were named. However, available sources do not confirm that literally every single department or every single cabinet member was named individually in the lawsuit. The language used in official reports and news coverage indicates a broad but not necessarily exhaustive naming of departments and officials.

The phrase 'every single' is likely an exaggeration or rhetorical flourish rather than a precise legal fact. Nonetheless, the core factual assertion, that the ABA filed a large federal lawsuit against the Trump administration involving numerous departments and officials, is accurate. This nuance leads to a verdict of Mostly True rather than True or False.
