We got a few more today before the DoJ realized they released a bunch of rape reports of Trump and removed them.

SHOCKING FEDERAL COURT MOMENT: DOJ attorney Julie Le, "The system sucks, this job sucks" to Judge Jerry Blackwell who pressed her on why so many court orders are being ignored by ICE/Trump admin. She asked to be held in contempt just so she could get 24 hours of sleep. • Judge Blackwell had ordered the SHOW CAUSE hearing because he was frustrated that in 5 Habeas cases he was presiding over, he felt his orders were being ignored, leaving immigrant detainees unconstitutionally locked up for days. Ms. Le said that govt lawyers just cannot keep up.

it doesn’t sound like the resignations are done in Minnesota DOJ.

Former Tennessee Libertarian party chair @joshuaeakle.com notices how many in Trump’s cabinet/inner circle are in the files — and theorizes maybe this is no coincidence

Trump’s Profiteering Hits $4 Billion In August, I reported that the President and his family had made $3.4 billion by leveraging his position. After his first year back in office, the number has ballooned.

David Kirkpatrick demonstrates how Trump has made $4 bn by illegally trading access to the White House to get rich. He controls the DOJ and the Congress so he won't be held accountable—until he doesn't control the DOJ and Congress. This is the day's essential read. www.newyorker.com/news/a-repor...

After Minneapolis, Tech CEOs Are Struggling to Stay Silent Silicon Valley’s power brokers spent the past year currying favor with President Trump. Two deadly shootings in Minneapolis are now exposing the price of that bargain.

Maybe they'll find the Epstein files in the Fulton County Board of Elections office . . .

If only there were Republicans with the courage to pull the lever on that amendment.

But alas, if you remain a Republican, you are categorically a coward.

I. Did.

Harder isn't impossible. And the fact that the amendment has a provision for just such a situation means that it WAS, in part, designed for just this situation

Trump posts discredited conspiracy theories following seizure of 2020 ballots in Georgia In the hours after FBI agents in Georgia seized 2020 election ballots, President Trump posted a series of thoroughly discredited conspiracy theories about the election.

If only there were a constitutional amendment designed for the situation where your president has gone completely bat shit insane 😡

US links security guarantees for Ukraine to peace deal ceding territory Washington signalled Kyiv would receive more backing after any withdrawal from the Donbas, say people familiar with talks

I realize it's been lost in all the other evil going on, but Trump is selling Ukraine down the river; now says no military support unless Ukraine gives Russia territory Ukraine still holds

Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

I believe those were officially reclassified as "tourists" 🙄

A financial printing company (whatever that means) paid nearly $1 billion for exclusive rights to Khaby Lame's TikTok business

Can we just admit that the simulation we're living in has gone off the rails and needs to be rebooted?

The $40 million that Bezos paid for the Melanie propaganda film would cover the cost of about 200 journalists for a year.

Hmmm, if Noem is right here I can think of a whole lot of ICE agents carrying weapons and refusing to show ID in Minnesota right now. Start locking them up

“[My father] had one problem,” Trump said. “…He started getting, what do they call it?” He pointed to his forehead and looked to his press secretary for the word that escaped him.
“Alzheimer’s,” Leavitt said.
“Like an Alzheimer’s thing,” Trump said. “Well, I don’t have it.”
