BREAKING: MSNOW reports Grand Jury refuses to charge Letita James.
DOJ can, by law, keep trying before a different grand jury, but this will be further proof of vindictive prosecution.

HAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The Incompetent Clown Show continues.

Trump invites America's wealthiest to fund his presidency Private donors are bankrolling Trump projects and policies on an unprecedented scale.

This is the most corrupt administration we have seen in United States History.

Our government is meant to serve the people, not billionaire campaign donors.

Being undocumented is NOT a crime.

And despite the endless stream of xenophobic and racist rhetoric from Trump and Republicans, the vast majority of immigrants — both documented and undocumented — contribute to America in more ways than we could imagine.

An Admiral who has a lifetime of exemplary service to our country, is allowing his legacy to become trash to protect an incompetent, drunkard Fox News host.

Sad. For him, and our county.

Solar Industry Group Describes Trump’s ‘Complete Moratorium on Permitting’ A letter from the Solar Energy Industries Association asks for Congress’ help to reverse the administration’s effective permitting ban.

HUGE: In a letter to Congress, more than 140 solar companies detail how the Trump permitting freeze on renewables is worse than imagined and hitting copious projects on private lands

They’re asking Congress to intervene and say “bipartisan permitting reform” won’t help without forcing Trump’s hand

Pam Bondi is pissing off Republicans by dodging Epstein files release A bipartisan group of congressional leaders has asked Attorney General Pam Bondi for a briefing on when, exactly, she’s going to get around ...

Pam Bondi suddenly launched a “brand-new investigation” into Democrats right when the Epstein files are supposed to be released.

Wild how the DOJ always discovers “new information” exactly when Trump needs a delay.

I hope all the folks standing behind Trump feel real good about being the backdrop for the racist ravings of a jerk.

Federal Judge Bars Some Warrantless Immigration Arrests in D.C.

Overnight, Judge Howell ruled warrantless stops in D.C. have been greatly overused, adding that guidance handed down by Stephen Miller and others essentially encouraged random stops without any regard to probable cause.

A Year Later, Donors to Trump’s Transition Come to Light

A year later, Trump has disclosed a list of 46 donors who helped pay up to $14 million for his transition to power.

Much of the list includes billionaires and people he went on to appoint to key positions.

Look at what Trump has done to what was a thriving economy under Biden.

They’ve siloed themselves off from vast fields of inquiry and knowledge, which means that they’re not just deeply incurious and uninteresting but also deeply unaware of how incurious and how uninteresting they actually are.

Push is on in US Congress to impose ban on lawmaker stock trades A bipartisan coalition in the U.S. Congress is seeking action to ban lawmakers from buying and selling individual stocks, a practice that has long raised ethics questions and is stoking infighting among lawmakers over how deeply to regulate their personal finances.

This is really important. Both in the fact of IMLS reinstating grants. (Which have been *crucial* for libraries and civic life across the country. Notably in rural areas.)

And in the example that the overall stalwartness and rigor of federal district/circuit courts has made a huge difference.

A Tale of Two Terms: How Powerful Figures Were Prosecuted in Trump’s First Term, Then Pardoned in His Second We found that Donald Trump has granted clemency in at least a dozen criminal cases that originated during his first term. No other president has used clemency to erase his own appointees’ actions on s...

Using his clemency power, Trump has undone prosecutions made by his own DOJ during his first term.

Experts say the actions show a broad contempt for the justice system: “He’s rejecting ... the work of people he appointed but didn’t fully control.”

She shouldn't have to keep doing this by herself. She is supposedly a member of a political party and every single one of her *colleagues* should be BLASTING the fascist in chief. ALL OF THEM. Where is the solidarity???

I used to think Republicans fell in line because they feared Trump would attack them in a primary election. Now, I realize it's much worse. They are physically afraid of Trump's supporters and the risk of violence.

A graphic with DNC Chair Ken Martin's statement on Aftyn Behn's overperformance in the TN-07 special election reading: “What happened tonight in Tennessee makes it clear: Democrats are on offense and Republicans are on the ropes. Aftyn Behn’s overperformance in this Trump +22 district is historic and a flashing warning sign for Republicans heading into the midterms. Aftyn centered her campaign on lowering grocery, housing, and health care costs for Tennessee families. Her Republican opponent ran his campaign focused on Donald Trump, and he had to get bailed out by a massive Republican spending onslaught to barely hold this traditionally safe Republican seat. The fact that Republicans spent millions to protect this Trump +22 district and still lost so much ground should have the GOP shaking in their boots. Democrats are all gas and no brakes as we head into next year, organizing everywhere and competing in elections across the country."

Aftyn Behn’s overperformance in TN-07—a Trump +22 district—is a flashing warning sign for Republicans heading into the midterms.

Republicans had to spend MILLIONS just to barely hold onto this seat.

My full statement on tonight’s election results:

The reason why I detest AIPAC is that they convinced the world that any mention of Netanyahu or Genocide is antisemitic . They have decided that any dissent about murdering Palestinians is antisemitic.

It is not antisemitic to want a country to stop killing children or wanting Netanyahu arrested.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib has introduced a resolution, backed by 21 House Representatives, to recognize the genocide in Gaza and call for sanctions against Israel:
