Doesn't it seem likely Halligan simply lied to the grand jury?

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

G.O.P. Blocks Bid to Halt Trump’s Attacks in the Caribbean Sea

Republican Senators are cowards. They have a responsibility to curb Trump's abuses of power and they have abdicated that responsibility.

Your warning about needing things on hand to throw at the video is well-warranted!

Thank you for the thread.

Seems like a ton of words for what appears to me to be, “Jim showed up & showed out. He put his whole thing on the table & said, ‘Matter of Fact, I want the case dismissed and THEM all arrested. See you in court.’”

"Don't call me a liar!"
We wouldn't need to if you weren't lying.
What a mess she is.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

HOLY SH*T.

There it is.

Trump says he will speak to the DOJ about giving Ghislaine Maxwell a pardon.

Wow! Trump just threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to block court rulings against him.

🚨 Rep. Jim McGovern attempted to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Rep Elect AZ-07, but they would NOT recognize him in the House. He has a candid reason as to why he thinks this happened. 1/2

No one is above the law. The public deserves transparency & accountability from government leaders. We'll be in court to get answers.

Hi 👋 Mimi, the ACLU is doing an online presentation for protesters 🪧 tonight. I think that preparation is a wise course of action going into the next No Kings protest. I’m try to get the word out.

Details 🔻🔻🔻

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

John Oliver: "If ICE can bother some guys at a roofing job, bystanders can bother ICE at their state-sanctioned kidnapping job."

NYT giving Trumper supporters fodder to mistakenly believe the ruling is in Trump's favor when, in fact, the judge hasn't ruled yet. Details matter.

On the left:

Sept 2: Judge Breyer opinion (in CA case) showing DoD's own instructions of actions that violate Posse Comitatus Act (eg "crowd control").

On the right:

Sept 26: DHS request to DoD for military forces in Chicago "in direct support of ... access control, and crowd control."

Trump's lies are *shameful*. Unfortunately, Trump's narcissism has blocked his capacity for shame.

Hmm... I think of Kristi Noem as Trump's Himmler, given how ICE is behaving these days.

What?! The Supreme Court declined to do Trump's bidding by treading into the realm of reversing a jury decision convicting a pedophile? It's a sad state of affairs that I'm shocked and relieved.

ICE is Trump's gestapo. It's unconscionable.

Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school.

Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

It's appalling that this type of theater would be compelling to so many Americans.

The suggestion is one of hundreds of impeachable offenses the Trump administration has committed.

Lawrence O’Donnell is right: the fight for Virginia’s future is the fight for America’s future. The most important election this year is Abigail Spanberger for Governor. Power, rights, and democracy itself are on the line—let’s raise hell and win. 🔥 #VoteVA

And she doesn't know the difference between the word persecution and prosecution. Sad.

Very much worth reading parts of Judge William G. Young's ruling taking on the Trump admin's assault on the First Amendment.

Notable that a decision from a Reagan appointee is filled with paragraphs like this one.

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

I have had zero contact or updates since

Trump says the US is in "armed conflict" with drug cartels.

Meanwhile, his DOJ is disbanding a task force that took on cartels.

Trump doesn't care about stopping drug trafficking — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.

This is a power grab.

Such a colossal waste of time, energy, and tax dollars.
