BLUF: DOJ has given federal law enforcement the green light to break into people’s homes without a judicial warrant if they “reasonably believe” someone who is a TdA member lives there. There is no requirement to even verify the TdA issue internally before busting down the doors.

Another day, another spectacularly corrupt pardon. This time, a ($10 million) tax-evading “health care executive whose mother played a role in trying to expose the contents of Ashley Biden’s diary.” In this administration, you earn a pardon for your crimes by committing or facilitating more crimes.

The Trump Justice Department has reversed a Biden-era policy that provided protections to journalists in leak investigations — paving the way for authorities to once again use subpoenas and compel testimony from reporters in probes targeting leakers.

This is wild: Trump is offering visits to the White House to people who invest in his bullshit crypto scheme. It is pay-for-influence in the most naked possible way. Just because the corruption is out in the open and unhidden doesn't mean it's not corruption.

Someone just spent $8 million on $TRUMP memecoins after the president announced that the top holders would be invited to join him at a private dinner at his DC golf club. The purchases were funded by a Binance account, suggesting the wallet owner is not based in the US.

This is a sleeper case. I fully admit this wasn’t even on my radar until this morning. But now Judge Gallagher has become the second judge to order the Trump administration to “facilitate” the return of an individual held in CECOT. And unlike Mr. Abrego, this guy is Venezuelan, not Salvadoran.

Look at this sweet, innocent baby —small, scared, utterly alone in a courtroom. No lawyer. No protection. No justice. Trump cut legal aid for migrant children, tearing away their last lifeline. They say they care about families. But this? This is sanctioned cruelty. @myvoicemychoice.bsky.social
