Marjorie Taylor Greene wants you to believe she’s suddenly serious and respectable. But we didn’t imagine the last five years we have receipts. Including… whatever this was. New script, same actress.

I think the American public has the right to see the secret protocols of the Witkoff-Dmitriev pact. What business deals have been agreed?

The intern was reportedly shaken, so McBurney offered to drive him home. ICE agents then surrounded the judge's car and demanded everyone to exit the vehicle, threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply.
Dana Smith, Head of Security Operations for
R.I. Superior Court, confronted the agents and told both the judge and the intern to stay inside the car. After an argument, ICE confirmed they had misidentified the teen and left. The intern was released once his ID was checked.
"This egregious incident underscores both the community's and the Judiciary's concerns about how ICE is conducting its operations in Rhode Island," R.I. Supreme Court Chief
Justice Paul A. Suttell said.
Citing that climate, Suttell said the Judiciary understands recent calls to expand the use of
virtual court hearings in Providence.

The **chief justice of the Rhode Island Supreme Court** called to expand virtual hearings β€”citing this incident where ICE threatened to smash the window of a judge’s car β€” because people who work at the courthouses are no longer safe

Disagreeing doesn’t give you license to invent threats, Elise Stefanik.

Equating disagreement with terrorism is reckless and dishonest.

White House blew past legal concerns in deadly strikes on drug boats The Trump administration sidestepped skeptical lawyers across national security agencies as it pursued a military campaign against alleged narcotraffickers, officials say.

On the patently unlawful boat strikes

It's hard for USGs to claim β€˜mistake of law’ or β€˜advice of counsel’ – when they’re firing lawyers who wouldn't sign off on the strikes.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.

Bomb threats target Democratic lawmakers after Trump 'traitors' posts Five out of the six Democratic lawmakers whom Trump accused of "seditious behavior" have received bomb threats at their offices.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin’s home was targeted with a bomb threat after being labeled a β€˜traitor’.

Donald Trump has called for the death of former military Democratic lawmakers, following the release of a video where they urged the armed forces to disobey unlawful orders.

If the 28-point plan came from Russia and somehow ended up in the hands of U.S. lawmakers, then we don’t have a β€œleak” problem we have a foreign influence problem. And anyone downplaying that should not be anywhere near national security decisions.

Senators Launch Inquiry After a White House Official Intervened on Behalf of Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation In letters to the White House and DHS, Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Gary Peters called the intervention a β€œbrazen interference with a federal investigation.”

NEW: After ProPublica reported that the White House intervened on behalf of Andrew Tate, two senators say the behavior β€œraises grave questions regarding the independence and impartiality of federal law enforcement operations.

Trump's Kasshoggi Murder Cover-Up

Vindman refers to β€œshocking and disturbing” Trump and MBS call about the gruesome murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi.

"The American people and the Khashoggi family deserve to know what was said on that call."

Jamal Khashoggi 'murder recording transcript' is published Turkey's Sabah newspaper publishes what it says is a transcript of the Saudi journalist's death.

Khashoggi, once inside the consulate, became suspicious.

Khashoggi was suffocated with a bag put over his head, with the sounds of a scuffle allegedly picked up by the recording.

The tape captured his alleged dismemberment.

In every way, Trump demands fealty to himselfβ€”and to his whims, wholly untethered to lawβ€”over fealty to federal officials’ oaths of office. So again: Are you effing kidding me? What Dems did here was patriotic. They forced the debate we need over Trump's lawlessness.

What about Trump's corrupt orders to DOJ to prosecute his enemies? Here it's complex, but there are scenarios in which these orders could be illegal. His lackeys might be breaking the law in carrying them out.

It's also very clear Trump or someone very close to him might have given unlawful orders when the admin defied a court order against deporting migrants to an El Salvadoran gulag. Same on the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case.

What's weirdly missing from coverage of the Dem video is any discussion of this Q: Is it reasonable to fear Trump is giving illegal orders, or not? The answer is, yes, of course it is.

On the boat bombings, for instance, evidence is extensive. Here's a look at it:
