It's not like she'll stay true to her word.None of them do.

So I guess for MAGA when a Chinese balloon goes over US airspace it’s a week straight of apoplectic comments that WW3 is starting because Biden is weak, but when Trump allows the Qataris to have an airbase in the US and fly fighter jets over our country that is America First.

Kash Patel is asked about why Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred to a lower security prison shortly after meeting w. Deputy Atty Gen. Todd Blanche

His response included calling Sen Adam Schiff (D-CA) a "fraud" & a "baffoon"

I've never seen that before in a Congressional hearing

Yes, release the Epstein files!!!

Defense Bill Opens Door To Guns-For-Hire At The Border The must-pass legislation that just passed the House would, for the first time, allow the Pentagon to send private military contractors to the border.

🚨BIG NEWS: Republicans just quietly added a line to a defense bill that would empower the Pentagon and Pete Hegseth to deploy armed private mercenaries inside the U.S. at the southern border for the first time in American history.

It's probably not ideal for the nation that the way the government works is the attorney general goes on shows and podcasts and then the real lawyers have to figure out if there's any law there before writing up a walk-back statement that she can post the next day.

The Washington Post has broken my heart | Will Bunch Newsletter Plus, the best Democrat in America right now.

The Washington Post was the paper of my teen dreams -- whose courage helped convince me to chose a life in journalism. Monday's firing of the Post's moral beacon, Karen Attiah, proved that a newsroom I'd believed in is now dead to me

Why I finally ditched the Post www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

DOGE has apparently created a cloud database of gov’t data & personal info about almost every American … used AI to mine it … and, evidently, exposed it to grave security vulnerabilities in the process.

This isn’t dystopian fiction.

This is happening in the United States.

At Issue: The Politicization of the F.B.I. Featuring New York Times F.B.I. and DOJ correspondent Devlin Barrett and Former F.B.I. Agent Michael Feinberg Hill Center launched its new public affairs discussion series At Issue in April. The series examines the many critical issues we are faced with today.

On Oct. 8, Lawfare Public Service Fellow Michael Feinberg will sit down with the @hillcenterdc.bsky.social for an in-person discussion on the politicization of the F.B.I.

Register for the event now!

This is unfortunate:

I wrote to the president of Harvard. I hope other faculty will speak their conscience, even if it means more struggle ahead.

BREAKING: New documents and testimony make it clear that Emil Bove urged DOJ officials to defy court orders – then misled the Judiciary Committee about it.

The facts are disqualifying. And the timeline is damning.

Let's break it down. 🧵

YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen We were denied entry into an ICE facility in Baltimore

Thankful for @vanhollen.senate.gov & other Maryland Democrats who tried to inspect an ICE facility in Baltimore yesterday.

The lawmakers waited for hours to be let in, and denied entry.

They had a sit-in in a building hallway.

Investigate ICE. THIS IS ILLEGAL.

This is *insane*

Think tanks are a vital feedback loop between government, academia, and the public.

There have been minor cancellations before, but dropping them wholesale is a dangerous precedent in insulating decision makers from criticism

Todd Blanche absolutely has a prohibitive conflict of interest acting as a lawyer for the United States of America and talking to Ghislaine Maxwell. Donald Trump is a very recent criminal defense client. The interests of Donald Trump and the United States are in conflict in questioning Maxwell./1

The only winners here are rich people. Everybody else loses.

He’s correct about this. This one will not fly under the radar because those rates are all public. People buying insurance will notice. It’s not buried in their taxes. And those screen shot of rates will be everywhere on social media.

Josh Hawley is exhibit #1 of what it means to have a cult leader in charge. He voted to blow up Medicaid & the Affordable Care Act — after vocally saying he was opposed to doing so — & now he’s complaining about it.

He had power to stop this disaster. He chose not to because the leader insisted.

STANTON: Do the victims and survivors in Texas deserve an apology?

FEMA ACTING ADMINISTRATOR RICHARDSON: What happened in Texas is an absolute tragedy

STANTON: I'll take that as a no

EXCLUSIVE: The Universe of Those with Access to the Epstein Files Keeps Expanding According to new sources, photos and testimony of the survivors of the Epstein/Maxwell sex trafficking ring were available to even more people in the government than previously thought.

Analysts were instructed to flag the names of prominent perpetrators from the Epstein files because “we don’t want to take anyone by surprise.” My latest: open.substack.com/pub/muellers...

Lots of confusion around Epstein. Hope this helps!

This is what fear looks like.

This was the order of events:

1. Paramount acceded to Trump’s extortion by paying a bribe.

2. Stephen Colbert calls his employer out for doing that.

3. Paramount fires Stephen Colbert for being honest about Trump.

4. Proving Trump’s bribe worked.

Two observations:

1. "Produce" to who? Note, he doesn't say release publicly.
2. "Pertinent" is doing a lot of work here. This does not mean all records, just the ones Bondi believes are "pertinent."

Trump is panicking and is very dangerous. Stay informed. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Nope, doesn’t seem like they’re buying it.

Trump's Growing Epstein Crisis Read more here.

Trump will almost certainly seek to divert attention away from the Epstein Files to some other topic. The most obvious move is for him to escalate the weaponization of the DOJ against his political opponents, including appointing a new special prosecutor. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...
