Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Brutal.

Never before has the United States had an Attorney General and FBI Director who openly serve the president personally as he works to break laws rather than enforcing laws for the country, Constitution, and American people.

I don’t know if any previous one even said “the president’s agenda.” Ever.

This @SenatorBanks, is he an educated man? Does he call himself educated? Seems to be struggling with facts, bless his heart.

They are counting on people not being able to understand how government functions or a linear timeline. I face a lot of people who think Biden overturned Roe v Wade, not understanding it was because of the SCOTUS judges Trump appointed. Or how laws are made.

It seems bad that the U.S. dollar has lost over 10% of its value since Trump took office. Maybe the president should do something about that?

The end of Maxwell's criminal appeal process opens the door for the US House Oversight Committee to move forward with plans to interview her over the #Epstein case. Rep. Robert Garcia, said in a statement that Maxwell "must now answer our questions truthfully." #OpDeathEaters

I don’t watch broadcast tv, but can’t the legacy media show with their cameras that Portland isn’t burning? Where’s the news film of that every night?

A judge blocked Trump from sending Oregon's National Guard into Portland.

That same judge then blocked Trump from deploying California's National Guard to Portland instead.

This isn't a "left wing" judge — Trump appointed her.

Says a lot about Trump's authoritarian power grab.

Reality is whatever Leader says it is.
They can light a matchbook on fire, toss it on the ground and get Fox to film it in close-up, and declare the whole country is burning.

You know what’s burning to the ground? The home of a judge who stood by the law over trump.

“The Constitution [should not be] a document for the government to restrain the people: it [should be] an instrument for the people to restrain the government.”
—Patrick Henry, anti-Federalist

FYI—if Mike Johnson wasn’t so afraid of what’s in the Epstein files, he wouldn’t delay the swearing in of Adelita Grijalva.

MAGA: “why didn’t Biden release the files and why didn’t you guys call for it?!”

America: “Because we assumed the justice dept was doing their job. But you all demanded it and now Trump is panicking…. So uh, ya now we def want to know why he’s panicking.”

See? Easy!

Don’t give an inch

I’m just a girl, standing in front of Dan Rather, asking him to go absolutely scorched-earth on Bari Weiss

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Claim: She boxed ICE in
Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her

There is no acceptable excuse for zip-tying children! None.

This shouldn’t even have to be said.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson:

"Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

Ex-Justice officials: 'It's our duty to sound the alarm' Scores of officials who have resigned or been forced out of the Justice Department this year are speaking out against its "destruction."

“We believe it’s our duty to sound the alarm about this administration’s degradation of DoJ’s vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it,” according to an open letter signed by 282 former officials.

It will take years to rebuild our Justice Dept.

California is the manufacturing capital of America, period.

We create more jobs, produce more goods, and drive more innovation than anywhere else in the country — because what gets built in California shapes the future and powers the U.S. economy.

Crumbling legacy institutions have been crumbling for a long time. Platforming MAGA. Declining to report on the state of democracy or of Democrats. That’s how we got here.

Showed a clip from a documentary about Korematsu this morning and managed not to yell back during the part where Justice Anthony Kennedy explains that presidents should never be granted unlimited powers or blindly trusted when they say it's an emergency situation.

They Were MAGA Believers Until a Border Stop Changed Everything George and Esmeralda Doilez made news, and a change in understanding.

This is an important interview. A couple stopped and profiled by border patrol comes to a realization: who they voted for lied to them. It takes courage to admit it, and more to go public.

A federal judge on Sunday blocked the Trump administration from deploying hundreds of National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, even as President Trump turned to the Texas guard in a widening hunt for military forces to send to Democratic cities. Follow live: nyti.ms/3KCr5t4

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror."

Trump is now 40 minutes late and counting. Naval cadets still standing around in total and increasingly uncomfortable silence.
