🚨NEW: Erez Reuveni, the DOJ lawyer fired for his honesty in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, sends Congress a whistleblower letter detailing lawlessness at the DOJ around the CECOT deportations. He says Emil Bove told the DOJ to respond to likely court orders blocking flights with "fuck you."

Marco Rubio needs to be asked whether he believes his grandfather who remained in the U.S. after receiving a deportation order from our govt should have been treated the way the father of 3 Marines was treated by ICE this weekend in California. ASK HIM. Make him confront his lack of character.

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

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

CNN: Three sources tell CNN that according to an early U.S. Intelligence assessment, the U.S. Military strikes on three of Iran's nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country's nuclear program and likely only set it back a few months

US intelligence assesses that the US and Israeli strikes set back Iran's nuclear program by only a few months: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/u... Hm. JCPOA was rather more effecting at setting back Iran's program. Sometimes the diplomatic toolbox works better than the military one.

The people who cheerleaded us into every war in the past are doing it again, joined by MAGA cultists willing to set aside former positions since Dear Leader is infallible. Lots of wars ended with a single non-nuclear air strike, so I’m sure this is all over now. 🙄

If Trump retires “peacefully to enjoy his cryptocurrency wealth, his presidency will still go down in history as the embodiment of injustice, malfeasance, cruelty and transgression.” He certainly should be impeached and convicted, though he almost certainly won’t be. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/o...
