Is Justice Done? You’ve probably seen or read at least something about the story that is the subject of tonight’s post.

Prosecutors are facing discipline for telling a judge the truth in a sentencing memo. This post traces the case, its facts, the sentencing process, and helps us understand why this completes the cycle of corrupting the Justice Department Trump has set us on.

I voted early at my county auditor's office today. City council, school board.

EVERY election. EVERYwhere. EVERY time.

LFG, people!

LFG!
EVERY election. EVERYwhere. Every time.

"Do you know who my führer is?"

Can someone explain to me how throwing stuffed animals, chanting and forcing an ICE agent to "drive at an extremely slow rate of speed" is a criminal conspiracy, but threatening Congress & macing, beating and causing the death of officers defending the Capitol on J6 was ... fine?

Donald Trump is weaponizing the Department of Justice against his political opponents. This is just the latest example. Everyone who cares about democracy and the rule of law needs to speak out loudly and clearly that this is wrong. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Victor Shi posts: “This was published one year ago. Everything is right.” The image shows a New York Times Sunday Opinion page with bold black text reading: “DONALD TRUMP SAYS HE WILL PROSECUTE HIS ENEMIES, ORDER MASS DEPORTATIONS, USE SOLDIERS AGAINST CITIZENS, ABANDON ALLIES, PLAY POLITICS WITH DISASTERS. BELIEVE HIM.”

It was never “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” It was also a clear warning of what was to come.

Trump: What's the Deal? (Full 1991 BANNED Documentary) The film was commissioned in 1988 by Leonard Stern. Donald threatened to sue any broadcaster or distributor that took on the film. It was screen only twice & subsequently suppressed.

Air Pollution From Industrial Facilities Is Far Worse Than Estimated The Trump administration has put a stop to EPA rules that would have required more than 130 industrial facilities to install air monitors to measure pollution. Millions of people living near these pla...

NEW: About 90,000 people living near larger chemical plants face an unacceptable risk of developing cancer, the EPA says.

New rules adopted last year could’ve cut that number to 3,000 residents — a drop of 97%.

But Trump has halted those efforts.

Ask yourself: Why would the government need to aim our citizen soldiers at ... us?

today i spoke to students at CUNY graduate school of journalism and the professor started things off by quoting my own words to me: “tom homan is a bitch.”

a landmark moment.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

Never been so grateful to be a small town librarian in my life!

Trump nominee at U.S. export bank withdraws amid scrutiny of Russia ties Bryce McFerran is a senior executive at a steel-trading business co-owned by one of Russia’s richest oligarchs and is married to a member of a Russian family with extensive ties to the Kremlin.

One of the most difficult things abt the Trump Admin.

It's beyond question he's corrupt and happy to harm the US.

What ISN'T clear is what he considers too scandalous to pull off.

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

Can't blame them, but this is really bad for a lot of smaller makers in the US 😕

Kevin, do you feel like some of these folks in your replies are actively working for a fascist America?
Because man, it sure feels that way to me.
Encouraging people NOT to do the one thing that can actually effect change in a democratic state?
FFS, why?

Since there are none, I would guess not.
At least, none that are honest and realistic.

"Please help. Please help. Please help us. We have rights, we’re citizens here, please help us"

My god. This 911 call with a Chicago woman pleading for help as ICE pulls pulls people from their cars, aiming weapons at them is grotesque. Monsters have invaded our city. Monsters.

📌Every bill to help feed people in my long lifetime has been passed by Democrats.
Every bill to starve them has been passed by Republicans.

It didn’t take a Reichstag Fire to burn down Congress | Will Bunch Newsletter Plus, what’s troubling about Maine’s Nazi tattoo flap.

It didn't take a Reichstag Fire to shut down Congress - the cornerstone of the Founders' plan for an American democracy. Just a useful idiot named Mike Johnson

My new column on a House disappearing act more about enabling dictatorship than about the Epstein File www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

The Senate is still meeting and holding votes as normal despite the shutdown.

The House has not held a vote in a month and a half now solely because Mike Johnson wants to prevent the release of the Epstein Files.

They've killed our government to save their pedophiles.

As with everything else they consume, Musk and his cabal steal what appeals to their own egos and ignore the gestalt, certain their limited understanding is wisdom when in fact, it is wisdom's opposite.
What could they know about someone like Tolkien, opposite to them in nearly every way?
