Got a call from the wife of a cooperating witness in a case I prosecuted in the 90s. I’ve written a letter for him on occasion because he was a stand up guy who did a good job under duress. ICE just picked him up. He’s been in the country like 35 years.

A reminder that the @nytimes.com told New Yorkers to not rank Mamdani at all, & instead endorsed former hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson. Tilson sits at a whopping .8%. Corporate media trust is dead. They killed themselves by failing to fulfill their promise of holding the powerful accountable.

Remember, Bezos and WAPO gave a green light to Bondi's nomination. This is embarrassing and a disgrace to the Office of the Attorney General.

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

That Judge Dale Ho had no choice under the law other than dismissing the Adams prosecution had no bearing on whether Bove's deal with Adams to drop the case was, indeed, a thoroughly corrupt quid pro quo effort to extract policy concessions from the Mayor.

“Donald Trump has many legal fixers, but only one that he has nominated for a federal judgeship. That would be Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, whose path to Senate confirmation got thornier yesterday after an explosive whistleblower complaint against him…” www.thebulwark.com/p/wake-up-ca...

"The judicial system only works if litigants understand they have to abide by rulings they don’t agree with. If the government can simply throw up two middle fingers and keep on violating court orders, then the whole system of checks and balances is meaningless." — @lizdye.bsky.social

"it is crucial to observe who played 9/11 Politics against Zohran. Who made a deliberate point of trying to make Jews like me hate and fear Zohran. It was DoorDash, Bloomberg, Ackman, Karp, and the rest. It was capital." www.forever-wars.com/this-is-the-...

It is notable how often the Trump Admin demands apologies, rather than simply changes in policy, etc.

Self-deportation isn’t a thing. ICE forced this Hawaiʻi resident to leave the country. He’s lived in the US for nearly 50 years, served in the military, received a Purple Heart for being shot in combat, but is being forced to leave for a drug offense.

Secretary Kennedy replaced CDC’s vaccine advisors based on false claims of conflicts of interest, and yet one of his new ACIP appointees reported more conflicts than all the 17 fired members combined. Striking.

Bombshell allegations by a DOJ whistleblower: Emil Bove—whom Trump has nominated to a federal appeals court—lied to courts and willfully defied their orders, then illegally fired the lawyers who tried to tell the truth in court. A massively damning document. static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

Tim Kaine is worthless when it comes to speaking out against wars and resisting Trump. He doesn't have any spine - yet here he (along with Ro Khanna) is being hoisted up by the progressive movement as if he is some kind of leader for the "anti war" movement. Beyond parody.

You can end police misconduct & the associated settlements & judgments overnight. Pass a law that they are required to pay for all police misconduct settlements & judgments out in whole (or partly) out of the retirement funds for police officers. That shit will get sorted real quick.

As boastful as Pete Hegseth was on Sunday, he projected the fear at the heart of the Trump administration's bombing of Iran: that they can’t stop the escalatory spiral they launched. Now at al-Udeid, the largest U.S. base in the Middle East, we’re beginning to see what that means.

This whole, "sexual assault and harassment is bad when Trump does it, but ok when our side does it," is sending a really clear message that the old guard of Democratic leadership only cares about women when it's politically advantageous. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...
