DOJ drops case against veteran arrested after burning American flag near White House Prosecutors sought to drop the charges against Jan Carey after a judge said he was entitled to further inquiry into whether the administration was vindictively prosecuting him.

Remember when Trump signed an EO ordering people who burn the flag to be “vigorously prosecuted”, and then in protest a Veteran burned a flag in Lafayette Square?

His case has been dropped because a judge said he could pursue an investigation into whether he was politically targeted.

Last week: “We don’t need your stupid aircraft carrier, UK!!!!”

Today: “Hopefully, the UK will send an aircraft carrier to the Strait of Hormuz!!!”

What a fool.

Do I trust The Regime’s attempt to pivot on vaccines and distance themselves from their anti-public health campaign?

Absolutely not. And while I don’t think a victory lap is warranted, I do believe that it is the massive pushback from all of us that is having an impact.

Keep going, fam. 💜

Surgeon general nominee now says Americans should get vaccinated for measles Dr. Casey Means told Congress last month she supported the measles vaccine, but she declined to answer whether she would recommend it to Americans.

Casey Means doesn’t have the votes to be confirmed as Surgeon General.

During her confirmation hearing, she wouldn’t answer if she would recommend MMR vaccines in the midst of the measles outbreak.

But in her written comments, she’s changed her tune, because power means more than her convictions.

As difficult as it is to scale infrastructure…

…the hardest thing is to scale people.

Yet technical founders spend most of their time on tech, because it’s interesting.

Exactly wrong. That’s what you’re good at hiring for.

Go solve the more important, harder problem.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

a tan chihuahua-sized rodent with a graying muzzle is being held aloft in front of a white wall. the creature looks at the camera with dark, round eyes. each of his ears are the size of his head, sticking out on either side like satellites. he looks a little embarrassed that he's been caught.

We only rate dogs. This is clearly a gigantic mouse that someone just found in their home. Please gently return them to the garden and only send dogs. Thank you… 12/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (IG: kitsune_inu)

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

Oh, honey . . . just because you played dress-up at a fake "military academy" that your parents sent you to because you were such an unmanageable, obnoxious teenager doesn't mean you were in the miliary. You had that duty, but lied to get out of it.

Q: “Judge Boasberg said in his opinion you, quote, ‘promptly complied with President Trump's apparent direction to prosecute Powell.’ How did you have the idea to start this inquiry?”

U.S. Attorney Pirro: “It doesn't matter where a case comes from. I can have a suspicion. I can read the newspaper.”

Massachusetts Charter Schools Subject to Records Law, Court Says Charter schools in Massachusetts are subject to public records laws despite their independence and corporate organizational structure, the state’s high court said Wednesday.

My office is sending a clear message with this win: no taxpayer funded institution is above our Public Records Laws.

We just learned that 6,000 companies have contracts with ICE. Not just a few hundred. SIX THOUSAND.

We have a lot of boycotting and demands to make, folks.

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.

Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.

But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

I put a relative in the ground today. All I could think about while looking at the casket was all the people crying and in pain.
Then I see the US President post how "honored" he is to be killing Iranians. Iranian children.
I have lost a child so I understand that pain.
Hell is too good for them.

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.

The Senate must reject this bill.
