From preventing the release of Trump’s tax returns, to forcing the release of Hillary’s emails, to going soft on sentencing Jan 6 insurrectionists, Judge Boasberg is far from a ‘radical left lunatic’ as Trump claims. And he was first appointed by Bush, not Obama! Zeteo has the receipts:

Read this whole thread. It's possibly the worst thing to happen yet. A judge acted horrified by DOGE's behavior at USIP, then promptly sided with them by denying USIP's temporary restraining order. She was clearly intimidated. This is ugly, ugly, ugly.

Social Security numbers and other private information of more than 200 former congressional staffers and others were made public Tuesday in unredacted files related to the assassination of JFK. Many of these people are still alive and therefore now vulnerable to privacy theft and doxing

It seems like when you write a decision giving the President king-like powers, you shouldn't be indignant when he acts like a king.

This book tour is very confusing to me the only people who read the Free Press are the people funding the transparently astroturfed Abundance agenda rollout. This is Don Draper pitching Sterling Cooper, you’ve completely lost the plot here fellas

Can Ukraine stop Russia from allying with North Korea, Iran, and China? If not, then Russia cannot forbid Ukraine from allying with whom it chooses. That is a basic element of sovereignty.

A reporter should ask Trump if we're having midterm elections next year so we can just get him to say "no" already. Right now, elected Democrats are using the assumption that elections will proceed normally as a shield to avoid treating this as an emergency.

So: Russia flatly rejected one Trump envoy (Kellogg), made the next one (Witkoff) wait for eight hours, rejected the ceasefire, and instructed Trump that his job is to give Russia what it wants. That’s what Trump means by "respect" I guess.

Having an unreliable dipshit as California governor is a genuine liability right now. It's nearly as bad the Senate Democratic caucus situation. California should be the primary state anchoring opposition to the Trump administration.

It’s almost funny but actually shocking how MAGA spent all week trying to justify the detention of Mahmoud Khalil with BS ‘he’s Hamas’ accusations but then goes & deports Dr Rasha Alawieh, a Brown uni professor & doctor specializing in kidney transplant patients without any reasons given whatsoever!

“She describes [Zuckerberg] as a cross between a truculent teen and a toddler: he doesn’t like to get up before midday, even to meet prime ministers, and his obsequious colleagues feel obliged to let him beat them at board games.” Sigh. The tech bros are all the same.

Senate Democrats seem to believe that if 51% of poll respondents support fascism, oppression of minorities, disregard for court orders and suppression of rights enshrined in the Constitution, then it's "ah well, I guess we have to meet them where they are." A fundamentally un-American sentiment.

Weird...who would have thought people would be angry that the leaders of the two houses of Congress thought it would be a good time to do book tours in the middle of the dismantling of our democracy? I'm telling you guys...those DC consultants are really on it! They definitely learned their lesson!
