Where are the other msm outlets submitting amicus briefs or joining in?

Thursday’s front page of the British Daily Star. Putin’s Poodle

Frankly, I was hoping for millions, not just thousands.

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

I don't know if I agree. Sullivan's pension might have been on the line.

How angry does this make you? Tthese people refused to believe what they were told would happen in plain English - and now they have buyer's remorse - is infuriating.

On MSNBC now, Al Sharpton still hedging on supporting Adams. He won't outright say Adams has to go as NYC mayor. On never expect anything from @AlSharpton.

Feels like a metaphor

There are a whole bunch of Senators who could learn a thing or two from Danielle Sassoon about putting the good of the country before their personal ambition.

For those unfamiliar, the Associated Press is a non-profit cooperative formed by US news organizations that covers news for its 1,300 member papers, radio stations and TV stations. It is the foundation of the American press. It has always gotten the first seat and first question at official events.

So all the other news orgs are following suit, right? ...right?

Once again, it's up tp a woman to stand up against Trump. Kamala, Liz, AOC, Nancy, Lisa, Leticia, Fani, Amy,Jasmine,Kathy, and now, Danielle.

Remember, if you see anyone *else* reporting from the Oval Office or Air Force One, that person is a spineless scab.

Sooner or later, Emil Bove will find a federal prosecutor who is willing to betray their oath and dismiss the Adams case. I truly hope whoever that person is ends up subject to scorn, contempt and ridicule for the remainder of their hopefully miserable life.

Exhibitionist. Sad. Hard to be the least attractive Trumpette.

The interim US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, a FedSoc member and former Scalia clerk, has done more to publicly expose the corruption of the Trump administration this week at greater personal cost than any elected official I can think of.

Remember that Deputy A.G. Emil Bove, who illegal directed the SDNY to dismiss charges against Eric Adams, was one of Trump's criminal lawyers in NY case, in which Trump was convicted on 34 counts. He submitted some batshit, crazy arguments to the court, and lost most of them.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

2. Help Democrats The success of any opposition rests on the opposing party taking power. Next time you want to attack a Democrat for being too much of this or too little of that, realize that you are only helping the GOP. Instead, find a Democrat you support and volunteer for their campaign.

I know, right? NBC has lawyers. They must know the APA is ubiquitous in government cases.

And if you call for an Uber or Lyft and get a Tesla, cancel it and tell them why.

US aid freeze claims first victims as oxygen supplies cut off Seventy-one-year-old woman dies after being sent home from USAID funded hospital. Others die after hospitals close in refugee camps www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

Look I agree that Elon Musk appears to be on a lot of drugs every time he appears in public. That's not very interesting to me. I'm more interested in how many drugs he can do at once. I think he could probably do more than anyone ever. I bet he could take way more than the doctors say is safe.

This is how a democracy collapses: "A senior official at the Federal Emergency Management Agency instructed subordinates to freeze funding for a wide array of grant programs Monday, just hours after a federal judge ordered the Trump administration — for the second time — to stop such pauses."

Terrible commentators on Fox for the Super Bowl. I’m sick of Tom Brady’s reminisces and they both have said some really stupid things.

I do think it’s funny when the car companies are like “we may be divided but now more than ever, I think we can all agree: car ❤️”

KC forgot my friend @therickwilson.bsky.social 's first law: Everything Trump touches, dies.

This is posted by Hakeem Jefferson and NOT Hakeem Jeffries.

Remember in 2016 when Trump was interviewing potential VPs & word was he wanted someone who'd actually do the work while Trump did who knows what? He found that person in Elon. It looks like he's giving him free reign while Trump signs EOs and makes outrageous foreign policy statements.

It's the youth in our party that may save us. The old guard is quivering - and it's a shame, because they have the experience and knowledge to take action.

Rutgers, huh?

As a parent, and also as a criminal defense lawyer, I can say that if I were the parent of any one of these young people I would be extremely concerned about them being the ones most likely to take the fall in any future prosecution that arises over this. Don't let your kid be a sitting duck.
