The DOJ Just Hired a Man Who Cheered for Cops to Be Killed He called Capitol police “Nazis” and screamed “Kill ’em!” Now he’s working at the Department of Justice.

"The man who urged the killing of police officers is now employed at the DOJ.
"Not in a clerical role. Not sweeping the floors. He’s been brought in to work on the DOJ’s so-called “Weaponization Working Group,” ... to hunt those who once dared to investigate him and his fellow rioters."

New Law Firm Made Up of Former Federal Lawyers, Judges, and Others Formed Specifically to Take on the Trump Administration and Protect the Rule of Law! And I love them already!

A new powerhouse law group has formed:

"We represent [those]who have been unlawfully targeted for exercising their rights, and we bring affirmative litigation to curb governmental overreach...[We] came together to form this law firm to fight for the rule of law."

She told the DOJ that Trump never did anything concerning around her? Because she was never concerned about pimping out children to pedophiles. What a stupid headline.

How Kash Patel Was Duped Trump’s lickspittle FBI director fell for obviously fake Russian documents. So much for Wizard Kashs’s “smoking gun.”

This is a good analysis of the evidence that refutes the current claims of Patel, Gabbard, and Bondi.

Republicans complain about Texas Democrats “fleeing”—yet just days ago, they themselves fled D.C. to avoid voting on the Epstein files.

Why? To protect a convicted felon sitting in the Oval Office.

One side dodges accountability.
The other fights for democracy.

What a pile of horseshit. They truly have no shame. Legal work permit. Trying to board a plane. Travel within the USA

No due process.

Shame on these officers. I hope they struggle with the knowledge that what they are doing is illegal and immoral.

Paul Ingrassia—a 30-year-old former right-wing blogger and newly minted lawyer who was admitted to the bar in 2024—is Trump’s pick to lead the Office of Special Counsel.

Ingrassia has called Jack Smith a “disgusting man,” accused him of “election interference,” and said he should be jailed.

ICE smashed car windows in 50 cases in the first month of Trump’s 2nd term - versus 8 cases over the prior decade, per Propublica.

Staying in the car is seen as resisting arrest, even for pregnant women or scared kids, people with no criminal records.

Call / email Congress to investigate ICE!

I don’t think there is a day that goes by that I am not reminded of an old teacher’s admonition: “If the only history that interests you is the history that makes you feel good about yourself, you are not interested in history; you’re interested in propaganda.”

Corporation for Public Broadcasting shutting down Trump and Republicans in Congress canceled funding for the organization earlier this year as a means of targeting PBS and NPR.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down.

Without federal funding, dozens of small public media stations are at risk of closing.

Texas Republicans have unveiled a more extreme new gerrymander that targets 5 Dems by diluting Latino & Black voting power.

Trump won 30 of 38 seats by >10 points & 27 seats by >15 points. All GOP seats likely stay safe, & none that Trump won by <20 got bluer davesredistricting.org/join/b82658a...

Privatization has always been the goal. After the subprime mortgage crisis led to us bailing out bad actors in the private sector, why would we want to reward even more of that?

His Name Is Jesus. He’s a Carpenter. ICE Arrested Him. Seriously.

The number of detainees is sometimes mind-numbing but, behind almost every number, there is a story of a good person abused by the thuggery of this administration.

“They have to double incinerate the products because they contain high levels of hormones and they don’t want to risk leaking the byproducts out in the environment, which likely adds to the cost,” the congressional aide said. “The Trump administration is quite literally burning taxpayer money.”

I live with someone who watches FOX excessively. Before the election, it was always "The Biden Crime Family." Now it's "corrupt dems covered up Biden's decline." Parroting Trump's talking points blaming Biden and Obama for everything. No substantive reporting on the crimes of Trump, Inc.

Regardless of WSJ baby steps, most of FOX is still a cesspool of misdirection, outright lies, and hate. I don't believe for a minute that this will ever change.

Houston congressional candidate Isaiah Martin was violently thrown to the ground and arrested yesterday for objecting to Republicans gerrymandering in Texas. Republicans win by cheating.

Isaiah Martin spoke out as the leader he is and was arrested. 🤬
