Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

new resignation from SDNY Hagan Scotten -- he's a John Roberts clerk -- Roberts can't be happy at that -- and a 2 times bronze medal winner for duty in Iraq. This is the best of DOJ v the worst of the political system. The lines so clearly drawn

Strong rumor with credible sourcing: DOJ has put all of public integrity line attorneys in a room and told them they have an hour for someone to choose who will sign motion to dismiss and if nobody does, they will all be fired. The nastiest strong-arming in DOJ history by a long shot.

This person - Emil Bove - is reportedly ordering federal prosecutors in the DOJ's Public Integrity Section to dismiss the prosecution against Mayor Eric Adams. Any prosecutor who did this could be risking their bar license. This corrupt scheme actually smacks of obstruction of justice.

Just realized it's been probably two weeks since I've referred to Trump as a convicted felon or court-declared sexual assaulter. So much to remember!

NEW: the Justice Department agreed to a proposed order that would largely prohibit the Treasury Department from sharing sensitive financial data with Musk's DOGE. Although begs the question of what they already have!

So I wonder how many of Trump’s rich friends/henchmen just made a ton of money as a result of Trump's flip-flop on tariffs on Mexico? Kinda feels like Trump took a page out the playbook "Market Manipulation for Dummies."

Why “investigate” J6 prosecutors? To scapegoat those who had donated or worked for Dems as politically motivated bad guys. Go on a fishing expedition of their files for anything that can be twisted as political. Use it to argue that Dems weaponized DoJ against Trump supporters.

Veterans EARNED their healthcare. Republicans are ripping it away—slashing funding, blocking benefits, and forcing Veterans into a system that will fail them. We won’t stand by while they spit on those who served. Save veterans' healthcare! #SaveVeteransHealthCare

Todays rich irony: Harris didn’t invite JD Vance to the naval observatory. So MAGA is furious. Oh by the way in 2020 Trump didn’t even do a Transition The hypocracy is a feature

172 hours until the presidential oath is taken by someone who’s virtually certain not to abide by it and who, having broken it before, is an adjudicated insurrectionist whose disqualification under Sec 3 of the 14th Amendment hasn’t been lifted by Congress. But that’s just the U.S. Constitution.

“As Los Angeles burned for days on end, horrifying the nation, scientists made an announcement on Friday that could help explain the deadly conflagration: 2024 was the hottest year in recorded history.” It’s GLOBAL WARMING, not just “climate change.” Pls get it right www.nytimes.com/2025/01/10/c...

Are people really making jokes about or saying negative things about the residents of Los Angeles whose homes and lives are being burned to the ground? All I can say is count your blessings. Because likely you and your community will have your turn at some point, with the hell we have 1/

NEVER NORMALIZE TRUMP. NEVER!!!

submitted 82 days ago • 19 comments

Remember it’s not normal for a FBI director - appointed by the president-elect himself to serve a 10 year term 7 years ago - to resign in this way, and it’s normal to nominate someone as unqualified as Patel to replace him. None of this is normal - and should not be normalized by the news media!
