The claim that Emil Bove told DOJ lawyers they might have to say "fuck you" to court orders rightfully shocked people. The full scope of lawyer Erez Reuveni's claims, however, paints an even more damning picture. At Law Dork, here are 11 key allegations from the whistleblower disclosure —>

This Louisiana public official gets to decide whether to grant evictions. That role allows him to pad his earnings with eviction fees; that's how he collected most of his $255,000 take-home salary in 2023. boltsmag.org/louisia...

I understand that they don't give a single shit about us, but it's really disappointing to see zero news coverage about how the court order to restore passport gender marker self-selection is being willfully ignored.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Bove dismisses concerns abt Eric Adams quid pro quo based on fact that Dale Ho (already impugned in this hearing) bc Ho dismissed it. BUT HO SAID THERE WAS A QUID PRO QUO. You are, quite literally, blowing off a judge's ruling.

Feels like ranked choice was absolutely decisive in this race—not because of the vote count, but because of how it changed the incentives from zero-sum to cooperapetitive. It allowed a fractured left field to align organically through co-endorsements instead of falling into a circular firing squad.

I've been banging this drum for years now, I know, but Zohran's Big Night is a clear illustration of the power of giving people a vision of the future that boldly contradicts the rhetoric of Republican fearmongers. Not just "disagrees on policies," but actively paints a different image of the world.

the more i think about this the more i think that his campaign was a showcase for how centrists say they want democrats to campaign. the issue is that what this looks like varies from place to place. i would not expect mamdani to be able to win in virginia, but a mamdani-style campaign could!

Key elements available to Democrats everywhere: 1) Relentless focus on cost of living 2) Find new ways to get attention to that message. Then do it again. Repeat. 3) Build coalitions motivated by mutual dislike by unpopular elites / incumbents.

Houston police called ICE on a woman who called 911 to report domestic abuse by her ex-husband. The only reason she didn't get deported is because ICE said there was no one to take custody of her kids, according to the police report. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

Media figures rushed to assume Trump's warmaking would automatically be popular. But new polls show majorities disapprove, and new reports reveal the mission might have failed at its objective! New piece from me on the absurdity of "war is always popular" punditry: newrepublic.com/article/1971...

Three years without the protections of Roe v. Wade. Three years of cruelty. Three years of women denied care, criminalized for miscarriages, and forced to cross state lines in crisis. Three years of the GOP screaming “freedom” while snatching away our bodily autonomy. (1/2)

Emile Bove's confirmation hearing..and vote? Democrats alone cannot stop Bove...they need three GOP senators. Right now, none have committed to opposing him. *Probability: Low to moderate...but could shift based on new revelations or INTENSE pressure on moderate Republicans.

WATCH: Sen. Chris Murphy on the intel report showing the U.S. strikes on Iran nuclear program were not as effective as Trump claimed: "We were supposed to get a briefing today. It got canceled. I think it got canceled because they are trying to figure out how to lie their way out of this mess."

A U.S. citizen on their way to work abducted by ICE then locked in a basement, with federal government employees refusing to consider indisputable proof of citizenship. Congress endorses it. SCOTUS keeps thwarting judges from even slowing it. What more is there to say? We live under fascism now.

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they knew was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ
