Commerce Department employees caught up in a legal battle over their mass firings are now learning that their health care coverage was cut off weeks ago, even though they were paying their premiums.

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that federal authorities may once again seek reporters’ phone records and compel their testimony in leak investigations, reversing a policy that was designed to protect journalists from intrusive government efforts to identify and prosecute sources.

These charges are so stupid. There was an ICE agent **in the elevator** with the defendant after he left the courtroom. But oh yeah, the state judge somehow obstructed ICE because she let the defendant leave the courtroom through a side entrance. The Trump DOJ is run by morons and thugs.

We’ve been absent for ages!! Need to get back on here and show you guys what’s been going on at carrot cottage ❤️

The Justice Department quietly invoked the Alien Enemies Act last month, granting Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents the power to conduct warrantless searches of people’s homes based solely on suspicion that they are “alien enemies.”

He sees that. He is the patsy.

Very sad to learn that Virginia Giuffre has died by suicide. She was just 41. Virginia was perhaps the most well-known survivor of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s predation. I’ve had four other Epstein survivors tell me they would not have come forward if not for Virginia’s courage.

America isn't a Christian country. It's a country where Christianity has the freedom to exist. There's a difference.

It's amazing the shit I took for giving this obvious prognosis in 2016 -- back before you were allowed to say it, and now it still gets me banned, because I told the truth too early on national TV and that makes it hard for officials to feign ignorance!

Judge says 2-year-old US citizen appears to have been deported with ‘no meaningful process’ politi.co/42TgorF

Defense officials are describing Pete Hegseth as paranoid and increasingly isolated. Panic-stricken Pete has been threatening Pentagon colleagues with polygraph tests in his frenzy to get to the bottom of leaks from his department. Last month, word leaked that Hegseth was…

Today at least two judges were arrested for acts that are not criminally illegal and a two year old U.S. citizen was kidnapped and shipped to Honduras by ICE, who called it a "deportation." Are we great again yet?

I was just thinking that when Dems have control someday they should pass a strong bill asserting that the judiciary at every level is fully independent and then I remembered that we have that bill and it's The Constitution

Seeing claims about the judge "hiding" the defendant. Read the complaint, folks (written by DOJ). The guy was literally in the public area where the agents were. I guess he got on an elevator before they could get to him. The complaint says after letting the defendant exit she came back to the bench

A two year old baby forced onto a plane by her government—our government. That’s what Ilan Wurman and Kurt Lash and their academic collaborators and defenders have been paving the way for with their bullshit articles. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

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.

When is enough, enough? This has gone way too far. These are not deportations, they are kidnapping. Power and Control.

VARNEY: Has the president's policies thus far brought any new manufacturing jobs to your district? REP. LISA McCLAIN: The number one thing that the president is bringing to our state and specifically my district is hope

I heard the FBI arrested a judge for helping someone evade an arrest. I’m assuming it’s this judge 🤷🏼‍♂️

The U.S. attorney for D.C. is accusing Wikipedia of “propaganda” and threatening its nonprofit status. Ed Martin is keeping Operation Whirlwind alive and well.

New post by Nicholas Cocozzelli: The chaotic tariff rollout over the past month—coupled with Trump walking back many of them—has likely emboldened John Deere to proceed with its offshoring plans. www.bleedingheartland.com/2025/04/25/j...

Virginia Giuffre, the prominent survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse, has died by suicide. Giuffre, 41, died in Neergabby, Australia, where she had been living. Giuffre was one of the earliest and loudest voices calling for criminal charges against Epstein. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Here comes the arrests of journalists now.

Dr. Oz claims they've found tens of billions of dollars in fraud. Where are all of the criminal cases for fraud then? I'll wait.

Let’s start with the basics.

It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books. It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse. www.chron.com/politics/art...

New in PN: Lisa Murkowski reveals the ugly nature of Trump's rule "Trump is not a normal president who governs through persuasion and political savvy. He constantly resorts to coercive threats. A system where that becomes normal isn’t a democracy. It’s a reign of terror."

EMERGENCY ACTION Join us we’re actively working to get coalition members on the ground! Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested by the FBI this morning after refusing to allow ICE agents into her courtroom. She was taken to the federal courthouse.

Once you disregard the legal rights of immigrants, everything is on the table Today, they are arresting judges Tomorrow it could be Democratic members of Congress

The circle of top advisers in Pete Hegseth’s orbit has shrunk recently to little more than his wife, lawyer, and two lower-level officials—leaving the Pentagon’s lead office without longtime expertise or clear direction. This had led to fears about dangerous slip-ups, such as weapons program delays.

Elections matter. Choose wisely.

No, @slotkin.senate.gov — Dems shouldn’t stop using the term “oligarchy”. They should make it a household term. And they should be wary of anyone telling them otherwise. People know what it means. And if they don’t, tell them. That’s what leaders do.

This is absolutely brutal

(1/4) It was America and Britain that guaranteed the sovereignty of Ukraine and its borders in return for persuading them to give up their nuclear weapons.

“He is one of the top five, probably, most targeted people in the world for espionage.” That seems accurate!

China has returned two Boeing jets, each valued at $55 million. With $69 million in tariffs applied, the cost per plane increased to $124 million. Orders for an additional 130 jets have been indefinitely suspended.

NEW: Statement from attorney for Judge Dugan. "Hannah C. Dugan has committed herself to the rule of law and the principles of due process for her entire career as a lawyer and a judge. Judge Dugan will defend herself vigorously, and looks forward to being exonerated."

Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague

NEW: Harvard Faculty of Arts & Sciences announces pay freeze through 2025-26 academic year as well as "pausing all non-essential capital projects and spending" to conserve resources for lengthy legal battle.
