This is a great development. In the end the case probably still goes away, one way or another. But Judge Ho won't just rubber stamp the corrupt deal and wants to fully explore the options. Also, you've gotta love the citation to the Michael Flynn case - that will drive Trump world crazy.

Upset to learn that Judge Vargas’s clerks don’t follow me on here bc if they did she would’ve added one more thing to this order….

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”

I don’t know how many different ways to say that agency personnel don’t work for Elon. They don’t have to report to Elon. They report to their agency leadership, which reports to the President.

I’m beginning to suspect that some people don’t understand the concept of an Article III judge

“I’m in West Virginia — My insulin went from $6 to $80”

Where you at Dems ? You fighting to get them far better severance or going to ignore them, and all others in similar circumstances?

The truth 👇

If you look closely, you’ll notice I’ve been wearing the same shirt on all my national appearances. This is not because I am a slovenly gamer (even though that’s what I am), it’s a very deliberate decision. This is the shirt.

A JetBlue pilot was arrested at Boston Logan Int’l Airport for second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor. He's not a drag queen—he’s a 33-year-old white male named Jeremy Gudorf. Where are the MAGA crowds to condemn DEI? I can't seem to hear them over their deafening silence of hypocrisy.🤔

The point is that Trump and Musk are, willy-nilly, doing the work of Putin, who wants to bring the USA to its knees, in revenge for what the thinks the USA did to the USSR. And we are stupid enough to go along with his plan.

So the President has abruptly fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Charles Q. Brown Jr., and is replacing him with a retired three star general, Dan Caine. This portends a future grave crisis as the President attempts to restructure the military into one personally loyal to him.

Missing my friend & icon Congressman John Lewis. Wishing him a happy Heavenly Birthday! We must channel his love, compassion, and fearlessness. As we grapple with the bigotry, hatred & divisions of today, let’s recommit ourselves to fight back & get into some “good trouble.”

No matter how preposterous, the Times headlines nearly every Trump story as if it were written by the White House comms team.

I bet maple syrup was flying on the walls last night when Trump watched Canada beat the United States. O Canada! 🍁 🇨🇦

This is so sad. He’s with Trump in his profile pic, too.

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Russian agents…👇 All. Of. Them. ✨

As the GOP pushes their Tax Scam they plan to kill health care coverage for children and the poorest Americans. All so their billionaire donors can profit. Don't Cut My Medicaid

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

Trumps devotion to Caine seems to have started when he donned a maga cap to brief Trump while deployed in Iraq

Republicans have proposed cutting the healthcare of 72 million Americans by as much as $880 BILLION Why Because they want to give more tax cuts to the ultra wealthy Think of it They’re willing to let people die So they can give their rich friends-like Elon-tax breaks Don’t Cut My Medicaid

The new golden age of America, sponsored by the GOP Tax Scam: the sick and the hungry suffer, while the billionaires on the front row of his inauguration gets the gold.... Don't Cut My Medicaid

Ukraine has no choice but to defend itself. Mass graves in Izium and Bucha, torture chambers in Kherson, the rape and murder of children, kidnapping, and looting—this is the reality of russian occupation. Occupation doesn't mark the end of Russian war crimes; it merely conceals them.

My new favorite drug is Republican members of Congress getting yelled at in their districts by constituents who hate Musk.

King Donold is demanding Boeing rush production of his new Air Force One planes. They better do what he asks!

I’m starting to think he’s got no second act. He’s like a bad one-hit wonder band from the 80s.

again, this is the easiest political slam dunk in the world find a veteran with a lifetime of public service who has been fired for no reason and bring him on television with you do it again tomorrow with a different veteran, and again, and again show the human cost

Crazy question but is there a Chairman of the Joint Chiefs right now? there's never a gap. Brown is out but Caine needs to be confirmed by the Senate. He also I think needs probably a couple waivers. I assume the responsibilities devolve on the Vice Chair. But still seems pretty weird.
