Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

Letter from Mayor Adams' lawyers to DOJ (dated Feb. 3 but filed on court docket today) makes clear the immigration policy oriented quid pro quo Adams was seeking storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“They didn’t assault.” That Trump is allowed to deny the reality we saw with our eyes on Jan 6th, that is on tape!, & just ramble on with lie after lie, is a total indictment of our failed media industry. How reporters can just stand there as he says this stuff is beyond me. Have some self respect!

thank u for the reviews 🥹

Yeah. I'm a lifelong Dem, but Dems aren't making their case as the party that actually cares about people or equal application of the law. Like seriously, do something to stop this guy. Anything.

One of the best to do it. Proud to have watched him play for the best years of his career at Safeco Field (now T-Mobile Park).

Sadly, only 1 of the 1,500 pardoned insurrectionists got the message. But I'm glad she has a modicum of common sense.

The purges have begun: "at least 15 experienced career staffers" out at DOJ "across several divisions," including "a top counterintelligence attorney who played a key role in deciding to search Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence to retrieve the documents"

I know everyone cares more about TikTok being banned/immediately resurrected and possibly bought by Trump and Snoop shilling got MAGA, but what's up with Vol 2 of the Jack Smith report? Is Cannon just sitting on that until after tomorrow? WTAF? That's more important than those other two things, btw.

@annabower.bsky.social Where's your dispatch? Can't seem to find it. Could totally be user error on my part.

Anyone know what happened at the hearing with Aileen Cannon today re: Vol. II of the SC report on Trump's mishandling of classified documents?

Get 'em, Mehdi.

Today, MAGA is losing it over this video of Pete Hegseth SLAMMING Trump. “All bluster, very low substance… he’s an armchair tough guy. He said that John McCain is not a war hero yet he sought his own five military deferments.” RT to ruin Trump’s day!

NEW: Meta has quietly dismantled the system that prevented misinformation from spreading in the United States. Machine-learning classifiers that once identified viral hoaxes and limited their reach have now been switched off, Platformer has learned www.platformer.news/meta-ends-mi...

This is exactly what Joe needs to do. He's robed in immense power, and he's immune for official acts. Safeguarding national security is an official act. Do it, Joe. For America.

Four takeaways from Jack Smith's special counsel report on Trump's attempt to overturn his loss of the 2020 election. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/14/u...

That should tell folks everything they need to know about the character of the incoming guy.

Everyone: Please take the time to read it. This man is a clear danger to our national security, but he's headed back to the big show blc...folks like that he swears, calls people names, says outrageous shit, hates immigrants and women, and threatens to invade allied nations. Did I get that right?

Special Counsel Jack Smith: "Indeed, but for Mr. Trump's election and imminent return to the Presidency, the Office assessed that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial."

@muellershewrote.bsky.social Any idea of a timeline on the 11th circuit decision? Time is short. Just trying to understand how to set my expectations. Thanks!

Why was the due date for a response to Aileen Cannon's request for clarification on references to Vol. I of the SC report due on a Sunday, a day when both the DOJ and the courts are closed? Oh, that's right. To buy another day and then put in another injunction to run out the 5 days left. JFC.

She’s right, you know.

Excellently put. The irony in their actions is that in attempting to avoid the perception of political motivation, they are acting politically. The only apolitical path is to treat everyone the same, without regard for office or social status. How that keeps escaping smart people is beyond me.

🚨🚨 HOMEWORK 🚨🚨 A little Friday night mission, should you choose to accept it. Write to Merrick Garland and ask him to instruct the U.S. Atty in the SDFL to drop the appeal of the documents case. That’d end this report fight, and we could see BOTH volumes. www.justice.gov/doj/webform/...

@muellershewrote.bsky.social AG, what do you make of Nauta and De Oliveira's lastest request to extend the three day stay in releasing Vol. I of the SC report? Just dropped approx. 20 min ago.
