Excited for Allison Hannagan’s eventual disbarment over this

Worth emphasizing that there are serious questions about whether or not Lindsey Halligan is even legally in her job

Chat is it good when a lawyer for DOJ says this

I do find it funny they negotiated this historic and pretty incredible deal 6 days before the military doesn’t get paid and nobody will remember it

Let me help you out here it’s because Jack likes Nazi’s

X. The Defense requests all DMs sent by the President of the United States to his principle officers.

Paging Mr. “I like beer”

These thirty seconds show a scandal of unbelievable proportion and it might as well never have happened. Just sucked into the vacuum of history immediately. I can't dwell on it or I'll go crazy.

Clown car operation is being too nice

Bondi claiming they arrested [checks notes] "the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa" has me in stitches

Please welcome CBS News Deputy Editor-in-Chief Bill Belichick

It doesn’t help that one side is completely delulu about the optics of the shutdown, where they claim they holding three branches of government are just smol beans as they invade American cities

I gotta say, the fact that people are banking on the military pay issue to break this seems to be a fundamental misread

Every day I want to text my mother and ask her why she voted to have her grandchildren grow up in a worse world

The doctor also makes that because med school is $500-700k to attend

“Restoring trust” meaning “repeat federalist society talking points.”

I realize now I grew up in a world in the 90s, 00’s, and early 10’s that will be fundamentally different than the world my children will know

There is no budget "deal" to be made President Trump has so broken the constitutional framework as to make joint normal, responsible government impossible.

If appropriations bills are not seen as enforceable contracts, why should any Member of Congress vote to fund any part of the federal government under Donald Trump? You're voting to provide money for lawlessness. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...

I've been banging this drum for the past four months or so: DOGE and Russ Vought broke the appropriations process. What's the point of going through the arduous process of crafting 12 spending bills, clearing them through committee and getting them through two chambers if Trump does rescissions?

"No no, I meant a government so small that all it does is drown women in bathtubs."

The military has always driven social change: see one Lt Robinson and his acquittal for the same offense 12 years before Rosa Parks was arrested in Montgomery

I have a sneaking suspicion that the government has not shut down actually or that there has been direction to “activate” certain things outside the public view to blunt the pressure.

Elmo staring into an atomic explosion

People don’t seem to understand: we’ve already missed it. DFAS needed the government to reopen or the military pay bill to pass by the 7th. That isn’t happening.

I’m stewing that none of them have had the guts to go public with this. Did we learn nothing from the torture memos.

Fucking cowards

John Roberts is very lucky that the bar for worst Supreme Court chief Justice is very high

“Negative consequence follows” I mean I don’t know how else to take that but as a death threat

SCOTUS about to enter an administrative stay for four months and let the NG do whatever in the meantime

The Kilmar Abrego Garcia special where everything is now pretextual because they’re just that mad
