DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as ‘violent perpetrators’

A MN protester accused of assaulting ICE officer had case dropped after vids showed no assault.

LA protester accused of assaulting ICE w/ “hat” had case dropped; judge said govt acted in “bad faith”

In Chicago, 92 ppl were arrested for assault/impeding ICE; 0 convicted

DOJ keeps lying and losing:

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court.

Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business.

As well as everyone else who stepped up.

Is this what liberation day was supposed to feel like?

Even Kavanaugh’s dissent leans on an oh-well/too-late/sunk-costs defense:

“.. The Court says nothing today about whether, and if so how, the Government should go about returning the billions of dollars. ... That process is likely to be a 'mess.'”

“.. Shameful — but in a way useful,” he wrote in a post on X on Thursday. “No one should any longer pretend we have a ‘Department of Justice.’ We have a Department of Trump.”

GOV. MOORE: “.. the fact that he is waking up in the middle of the night and tweeting about me, I just, I pray for him and I just feel bad for him because that has just got to be a really, really hard existence.”

The Press Secretary confirms: Donald Trump posted the racist video of the Obamas.

I imagine it was extremely disturbing

WHITE HOUSE: "When you see it on Truth Social, you know it's directly from President Trump."

TRUMP 2 WEEKS AGO: "Somebody posted, a staffer posted ... somebody slipped. I didn't do it. This was done by somebody else."

Yes, it is not fair that thousands of Ukrainians are losing their lives in this deadly war that the Russians started and continue every day for four years.

It would be cool if they fucked off back to Russia. They would instantly stop dying after that too.

lol

This is new. “Violent criminal” immigrants are driving Americans’ wages down??????

My head hurts.

It's also interesting that they did this to Talarico, whose sincerity, authenticity, and inclusive Christianity is winning over people like Rogan, and who seems particularly threatening to the vengeful, grifting evangelicalism that dominates MAGA.

YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Rep. James Talarico On Confronting Christian Nationalism, And Strange Days In The Texas Legislature

Chaser: the 15 minute interview Colbert did with Talarico and posted to YouTube. (The FCC should really know who Barbra Streisand is by now.)

So good

The FBI posted about being careful about online scams and being catfished for Valentine’s Day and the replies with photos of Kash Patel with his country singer girlfriend were getting so much traction the FBI deleted the tweet.

a shame to let this @robgeorge.bsky.social post languish on another platform.

‘A shameful abuse of office’: Oregon senator assails Trump over $10B lawsuit against IRS Oregon Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden introduced a bill that would levy a 100% tax on any payout the president receives from his lawsuit over leaked tax information that showed he paid just $750 in federal income tax one year.

Please note that she's READING this. She PREPARED this as a rebuttal for questions about Epstein. She planned this, had someone write it down, and read it.

Fewer federal services in exchange for a larger deficit. At least he’ll have a massive slush fund from Venezuelan oil to comfort him while he tears down and builds more monuments to himself.

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

There's a totally plausible explanation here. Hegseth ordered some sort of military drill or test without going through proper channels. When FAA reached out to tell him it was jeopardizing airport safety Hegseth told them to pound sand. FAA then closed the airport to publicly embarrass Hegseth.

It's time, Canada. You'll be greeted as liberators
