Can’t believe I have to say this, but in Minnesota you will continue to have the freedom to get your COVID and flu shots.

Inside the Justice Department Where the President Calls the Shots The president has executed a wholesale transformation of the Justice Department, taking control in ways he could have only dreamed of in his first term.

WSJ is reporting that the Truth Social post where Trump told Pam Bondi to prosecute Comey *really was supposed to be a private message*

Just to be on the record, I am now, and always have been, anti-fascist.

Aren’t you?

Remember that "Pam: I have reviewed ..." TruthSocial post from Trump, the one that looked a lot like a private message?

Yes, it was supposed to be a private message.

Trump "was surprised to learn it was public."

Want to hear about a party that isn’t too keen on democracy, deporting people who side with their opposition and stifling the opposition press to remain in power?

The Alien and Sedition Acts have a LOT to say.

Prosecutors in Maryland are expected in coming days to charge one of Trump’s first-term national security advisers, John Bolton, now a top Trump critic, with mishandling classified information, according to people familiar with the matter.

WSJ reports that DOJ is going to charge John Bolton.

In case you needed anyone less sympathetic to rally behind than Jim Comey.

No it won't end apartheid or dismantle the Occupation but I still want Netanyahu in the Hague and though it may be a fool's hope, I hope to see him there.

Along with every member of his government and every western politician who supplied him.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Always bring it back to the Epstein Files.

Release the Epstein Filesβ€”seat Rep. Grijalda.

That's Trump's weakness and Achilles cankle.

He can't run or hobble away from it.

Republicans know it.

They know they radicalized their base for the past decade.

They know Trump is all up in those files.

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

India has a festival where a Hindu goddess slays a demon. This year the demon is Trump | CNN Sitting atop her lion, the Hindu goddess Durga wields a celestial weapon in each of her 10 hands. But her target isn’t the usual demon of deceit, Mahishasura.

I’ve lived in rural America long enough to know that the entire point was to bankrupt farmers…

We are all about to find out.

ICE is hounding Chicago area locals with excessive chemical munitions Agents are firing tear gas and pepper balls on lawful protesters, lawsuits say, sickening even uninvolved residents.

Federal officers are firing so much tear gas at protesters outside an ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, that some nearby community members who aren’t even protesting are struggling to breathe when they leave their homes to run errands.
