The New York Times just launched a new "newsletter about the law and the courts." They are calling it "The Docket."

The Times may not care that Democracy Docket has been publishing "On the Docket" and "Daily Docket" for years, but I believe our 400,000 subscribers might.

More on this tomorrow.

My fave gif. 😂

US Attorney General Pam Bondi with Louisiana Congressman Mike Johnson and Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt sitting on a stage talking. Eric Schmitt is wearing a navy suit with a white or light blue dress shirt, solid red tie, and black cowboy boots. His pants are very slim causing them to ride up high when he sits down and revealing a bit of leg betwen his pant hem and the tops of his cowboy boots.

come on

All boots and no cattle

From the court’s opinion today blocking Hegseth’s attempt to discipline Mark Kelly: “As Bob Dylan once famously said, ‘You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.’ Our retired vets deserve more respect from our govt, and our Constitution demands they receive it!”

Judge Rules Against Hegseth, Finding That He ‘Trampled on Senator Kelly’s First Amendment Freedoms’ A federal judge ruled in favor of Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) Thursday,...

A federal judge ruled in favor of Kelly Thursday, finding that Hegseth violated the senator’s constitutional rights by attempting to downgrade his rank and retirement benefits.

I am reminded of the near-constant incandescent howls of rage from conservatives when Michelle Obama helmed efforts to get healthier food in schools.

Bovino advanced all the way to within eyesight of Paisley Park, but his supply lines were stretched too thin and ultimately his frozen troops were encircled by Will Stancil and wine moms with whistles

Walz on when ICE agents will leave Minnesota: "I will come over and pack your damn bags if that's what it takes"

Walz: "In America, you cannot expect that the people are going to be okay with masked, unidentified people running you off the road and coming to your vehicle at gunpoint like we saw in St. Peter, Minnesota."

under questioning by Rand Paul, ICE officials confirm that yelling at officers is not assault and recording officers is not a crime

Sen. Lankford: What about all the people ICE/CBP doesn't murder?

HASSAN: DHS officers have killed two American citizens in Minnesota this year. What were their names?

LYONS: Renee Good and Alex Pretti

HASSAN: I'm glad to hear you say their names. Because so far this morning, as well as in 3 hours of testimony Tuesday, you failed to say their names a single time

There it is: one of the first times anyone in the Trump admin has admitted that protestors & bystanders are legally permitted to protest & document DHS activity.... Just two days ago, this same crowd spent hours claiming DHS agents have been "under attack" in MSP & beyond...

What a tool

Blumenthal on administrative warrants: "This is not a warrant. It's a permission slip. It's a green light from another ICE agent to go bash down a door, smash into a home, detain and arrest someone without a judge finding probable cause."

This is important. The head of CBP says here that his agency did NOT provide the assessment that led DHS to label Alex Pretti a terrorist looking to inflict mass casualties.

That appears to contradict Stephen Miller's claim that the initial assessment was based on CBP reports:

“I don't know anything about that…”

“I don't know anything about that…”

“I don't know anything about that…”

That Mike Johnson & Trumpophants album sure has a bad skip.

Pam Bondi, looks like you have some more witnesses to speak to.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

Pam Bondi reminded me today of SNL’s “The Girl You Wish You Hadn't Started A Conversation With At A Party” without the charm and intelligence and awareness.

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.

The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

NEW: A page from Bondi's burn book. This is a list of the searches by Rep Jayapal of the unredacted Epstein files. That means the DOJ grabbed her search terms from the computers they set up for members of congress to view the Epstein files to use as ammunition. The photo is from Reuters.

Epstein survivors deserve justice.

Epstein’s associates who were complicit in his horrendous crimes must be held accountable.

There’s no two ways about it.

Rep. Becca Balint: This is not a game, Secretary.

Pam Bondi: I'm Attorney General

Balint: My apologies, I couldn't tell.

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.
