I’m a career prosecutor who took a $25,000 check from an affiliated entity of Donald Trump’s while investigating Trump University and later left my lobbying firm to become Donald Trump’s personal impeachment lawyer, White House aide, and Attorney General. So don’t you DARE question my integrity.

This exchange is quite something

It begins with Attorney General Bondi alleging that grand jurors who indicted Comey were "liberal" (Grand jury identities are to be secret)

And ends with her mentioning the "great picture" showing her and Trump and others at dinner

Greta Thunberg called out Russia and Israel, Pope Leo called out Russia and Israel, the late Jane Goodall called out Russia and Israel. Notice a pattern? Intelligent and heroic people stand against tyranny whether it is Russia or Israel.

I'm surprised how many people I meet who cover politics but don't get a reference to "the northern district of Texas." It's simple - there's a district Republicans file in where the judge lets them win everything.

The Law is complicated, political legal battles are pretty simple.

“Ew. She’s a girl. Everyone knows that we don’t take girls seriously” he said

The problem with MTG is that it’s too easy to just ignore her

Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

Cops misled journalists about using a powerful surveillance tool to track a woman across state lines because she had an abortion, then tried to cover it up when we found out the truth. Huge story from @jasonkoebler.bsky.social and @josephcox.bsky.social this morning: www.404media.co/police-said-...

Again, going in circles, but Trump ****literally**** does not understand how the American government works. He has ****never**** understood it. He was, until this administration, protected from his own stupidity but now there is no longer anyone at the helm. It’s ***actual*** anarchic governance.

Fire after fire, L.A. County keeps promising to fix failures but doesn't deliver The seeming lack of progress after the Woolsey fire — particularly in developing clear policies and protocol — indicates a failure to learn from such disasters.

Operation “Freaky Friday”: What You Need To Know - National Immigrant Justice Center Operation “Freaky Friday” appears to affect a limited group of children who arrived in the United States as "unaccompanied children.” It does NOT appear to target all immigrant children more broadly.

Legal teams in Chicago are mobilizing to educate children on their rights and document any coercion. But make no mistake—this is cruelty by design.

That includes transferring kids to ICE custody when they turn 18 or even threatening to arrest their parents.

It’s psychological warfare against children.

THERE’S NO BOTTOM WITH THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION

Operation “Freaky Friday”, a calculated scheme targeting some of the most vulnerable people in the country: immigrant children.

ICE is sending letters offering minors $2,500 for “voluntary” departure, while threatening enforcement if they refuse.

GB News’s US expansion feared to be new way for Trumpian views to reach UK audience White House backing was on full display as GB News launched The Late Show Live

NEW: Last month, a delegation from GB News entered the White House & met with Trump.

Senior Trump figures turned up at its US launch party. Could it now become Trump’s preferred outlet in Europe?

It’s reopened the debate over Ofcom’s oversight of impartiality.

Republicans post fake image of Oregon protest – using photos of South America A federal judge had blocked Trump’s request to deploy California national guard to Portland

Republicans using old Ecuador & Brazil riots to invade Portland!

“On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photo of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart.”

“What’s so interesting about the moment we’re in is the discrepancy between payrolls and the other economic indicators we’re looking at,” said Jason Thomas, Carlyle’s head of global research and investment management. “If you looked at the employment data, you’d think it’s an economy that’s on the cusp of or in a recession. That is nowhere else in the data.” In particular, he said, “inflation looks much more widespread than just looking at the durable goods that would be subject to tariffs,” the implementation of which beginning in April has thus far caused less inflation than was anticipated.

The Trump economy at work, the government can't function so investment managers are releasing economic numbers and everything looks great except for, y'know, employment and inflation.

Violence on the streets of Portland is rising

Still from the movie Heat; Robert DeNiro and Val Kilmer run in traffic holding high powered rifles.

CNN: Trump says violence on streets of Portland is rising.

Syrian state media says a ceasefire has been reached between the army and the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) after fighting in Aleppo, where one soldier was reported killed.

If I cringe any harder at the Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp's stand-up comedy routine, I may fold in on myself, collapsing into a PSR-J0952–0607-style neutron star of vicarious embarrassment. ~AA
