San Antonio police backtrack on stating there was no evidence to support hate crime charges for Jonathan Joss murder. “We shouldn’t have done it. I will own that.”

The Florida Bar has filed misconduct charges against Attorney General Pam Bondi. She has been in violation of multiple ethics rules since being sworn in.

Looks like the lawsuits against DOGE are getting an important new declarant.

I just want to say that the DoJ attorneys handling the DOGE cases deserve every bit of how humiliating this is going to be. I hope they suffer.

I am sitting (remotely) in another bankruptcy hearing for Alex Jones and Infowars' parent company Free Speech Systems, as is my karmic punishment for misdeeds in a past life, and I will let you know if anything interesting happens

In May 2025, U.S. Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine urged ICE to adhere to Department of Homeland Security regulations that require law enforcement officers to properly identify themselves and limit the use of face coverings during operations. (Continued below)

It’s like veep but much much much stupider

In a new declaration in the DVD case, an ICE official describes how ICE officers and detainees face medical and security threats in South Sudan—the place where ***the government’s own lawyers proposed keeping the migrants in order to conduct reasonable fear interviews pursuant to a court order***

MERZ: Tomorrow is the D Day anniversary, when the Americans ended a war in Europe TRUMP: That was not a pleasant day for you? This is not a great day MERZ: This was the liberation of my country from Nazi dictatorship

Omg

Mike Lindell has been gagged.

What an extraordinary, beautiful thing. Sometimes the only sensible response to scientific discovery is wonderment and awe.

POCAN: You said the president supports the big bill passed out the House. You also said the president doesn't support cutting Medicare. VOUGHT: Correct POCAN: In the bill, there's a $500b cut that gets triggered to Medicare. You might want to take a look at that provision.

Boasberg: "Absent this relief, the Government could snatch anyone off the street, turn him over to a foreign country, and then effectively foreclose any corrective course of action." An unassailable point. The fact that the U.S. government is fighting this tells you what you need to know.

NEW: ICE has quietly rescinded a policy requiring agents to ensure courthouse raids don't clash with state and local laws. WIRED detected the missing language in a superseding memo posted to ICE's website this week. by me and @dmehro.bsky.social:

BREAKING: Chief Judge James Boasberg finds that those people sent to CECOT under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15-16 had their due process rights violates and certifies them as a class. He orders that the government "facilitate" the ability for them to seek habeas relief.

Columbia completely caved and are getting their accreditation pulled anyways. Anybody that doesn't go nuclear on these people when they even sniff at you is nuts. *COLUMBIA NO LONGER MEETS ACCREDITATION STANDARDS, US SAYS

BREAKING: Judge Xinis just lit the fuse—GRANTING the media’s motion to unseal records in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case. The cover-up cracks open now. Let’s see what they didn’t want us to know. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
