Donald Trump's puppet DOJ has no business screwing around with next month's election.

Sending the feds into California polling places is a deliberate attempt to scare off voters and undermine a fair election.

We will not back down. Californians decide our future โ€” no one else.

And because we know this is being done quickly, cheaply and with Trump-friendly but un-vetted contractors, we can now assume the previously secure Presidentโ€™s Emergency Operations Center will now be riddled with security holesโ€”physical and electronic.

Federal judge orders Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino into her courtroom The order came one day after Bovino was accused of tossing tear gas into a crowd in Little Village without justification.

A federal judge has ordered top Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino into court next week in what could be one of the most dramatic hearings yet over the Trump administrationโ€™s aggressive immigration campaign in Chicago.

Trump Said to Demand Justice Dept. Pay Him $230 Million for Past Cases

Trump is already using the DOJ as his personal law firm, and now he wants to use it as his own ATM.

This Department of Corruption will go after Trump's enemies, protect his allies, AND line his pockets with your tax dollars.

(1/X) Check out a typical Harper's letter signatory's Twitter feed and you'll mostly *still* find 80% complaints about the "woke left", even in the midst of the greatest government crack-down on free speech in at least 60 tears.

Why? Because the "free speech" movement is donor/patron-driven.

I assume most of what's going on is visible to the world's intelligence agencies even though US citizens served by complicit media are in the dark. One example was when European leaders scrambled after the Alaska summit. They probably knew everything and tailored their appeal with that

Trump administration live updates: White House Changes Course and Will Demolish Entire East Wing

Trump administration live updates: White House Changes Course and Will Demolish Entire East Wing

The government may be shut down, but Trump is still managing to get some work done in Washingtonโ€”like illegally demolishing an entire wing of the White House to build himself a ballroom.

Lifting a finger to lower your health care costs?

Not so much.

But everybody's scared now. Even if their missions are going well and still funded, they're terrified that sticking their necks out to talk about good news will invite decapitation. Never mind bad news or mission challenges. That former generous openness to happily chat about missions -- it's gone.

Woah. Trenchant, who develops zero-days and surveillance tools for Five Eyes intelligence agencies (US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand). Has had an insider accused of selling secrets to Russia.

This timing matters because Dem legislators must amend Virginiaโ€™s constitution to alter its bipartisan redistricting commission.

Amendments must pass in twiceโ€”once before & once after a state electionโ€”before going on the ballot. Acting now means it could go on the 2026 ballot & take effect for 2028

It flies under the radar because it is overwhelmed by the sheer repulsiveness of the physical destruction of the east wing, but there is no way that a president should be allowed to use private money to change public property. It circumvents the power of the purse.

This. The president can't extort corporations to pay essentially taxes to him personally so that he can use that money at his personal discretion to do government work.

US sanctions Russian oil companies after failed Putin talks The US has announced new sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil, Russia's two largest oil companies over continued fighting in Ukraine.

These sanctions are a step in the right direction but nowhere near enough to stop oil & gas revenue fueling Russiaโ€™s murderous war machine. 1/
