UnitedHealth secretly pressured nurses to change patients' records to include DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate) without their consent, so those patients would die instead of being saved with medical interventions that could cost UnitedHealth money. This is murder. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"Pirro never served as a federal prosecutor, or in any role at all in the DOJ. She was the elected district attorney in Westchester County, New York, and served as a county judge for three years during the ‘90s, although she does not appear to have practiced law at all in the past two decades."

Tonight we learned that it was indeed Andry, the gay man sent to El Salvador because of his “mom” and “dad” tattoos, who an American journalist saw sobbing as guards slapped him repeatedly and shaved his head. He is an innocent. And Trump sent him to a torture prison. Bring them back!

Trump just pardoned crypto firm BitMex for violating money laundering laws — making him potentially the first president in American history to pardon a corporation. It's truly a new Golden Age for corporate crime.

It is hard to express, without resorting to expletives, how utterly stupid it is to suggest that the United States, world's richest economy with a population of 334 million, should have a bilateral trade balance of zero (no trade surplus, no trade deficit) with every country in the world.

A President who disregards Congressional appropriations unifying all federal payments under a single department run by his appointees alone would have total control of the federal purse, capable of punishing or rewarding individuals at will. "Anti-constitutional," as @jamellebouie.net says.

It’s a long “memorandum,” but it’s essentially telling Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem to go after lawyers who challenge the federal government — which is many lawyer’s jobs. It’s basically a catch-all “let’s Paul Weiss whoever pisses us off” memo.

One suspects the entire point of Cerna's circle jerk here is to mock the rule of law. We don’t have evidence that they’re terrorists, but because we don’t have evidence, that itself proves they’re terrorists??? Kafka, eat your heart out.

UNREAL. ICE implies in a sworn declaration that MOST of the Venezuelans sentenced to hard labor in a brutal Central American prison without charge or trial or so much as a cursory hearing had never been convicted or even charged with ANY CRIME whatsoever, not even a trivial one, anywhere, ever!

I could write up why there’s no constitutional problem with the President using an auto-pen to sign official documents—or I could just post the 30-page 2005 opinion by George W. Bush’s Office of Legal Counsel that explains why in lots of detail. I choose the latter: www.justice.gov/file/494411/...
