DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as ‘violent perpetrators’

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions.

But placing him above the law by granting immunity and letting him wiggle out of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is totally cool.

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.

"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BREAKING: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office as part of the Epstein files investigation, per the BBC.

The probe centers on allegations he shared confidential material with Jeffrey Epstein while serving as trade envoy.

“.. We could spend the whole day reacting to every buffoonish spectacle coming out of the White House, but that's exactly what they want: for us to lose focus …
Don't be distracted by the noise; watch what they are doing to your rights while you stare at the screen.”

Absolutely amazing!

Listen closely to every word of this

“.. Perhaps Bessent wouldn’t have been so flippant if the testimony had come after the flood of data last week, which laid bare the challenges facing ordinary Americans ..”

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

ICE point weapon directly at woman peacefully protesting, just inches in front of her face.

Goon is pointing a B&T GL06 grenade launcher and shooting someone at point-blank range with this so-called
"less than lethal" ammo could be fatal.

“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔

@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

Ending this operation is not enough.

We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

Just like with Brazil arresting their insurrectionists rather than re-electing them, other countries are holding their Epstein-tied politicians accountable far better than we do. www.bbc.com/news/article...

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

Walz: "The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here. There's going to be accountability on things that happened, but one of them is the incredible and immense cost borne by the people of this state. The federal government needs to be responsible."

How the fuck is Corey Lewandowski in any position to fire a Coast Guard pilot?

What is his title?

What is his job?

What is his official position in the US government?

If you are Kristi Noem’s boyfriend you get to fire Coast Guard officers?

Verge headline: ICE is pushing Minneapolis underground by Gaby Del Valle Photos by Jack Califano Photo depicts a white brick wall plastered with two recurring posters: One that says Alex Pretty ICU Nurse - Murdered by ICE, shows his photo with red highlights. Another is similar but reads Renee Nicole Good American Mom - Murdered by ICE

ICE may have lost the battle for public opinion, and its operation may be hampered by local pushback, but it has succeeded in one respect: It has instilled terror in Minnesota’s immigrant communities, forcing them into the shadows.

Lawmakers Accuse DOJ Of ‘Spying’ On Their Epstein File Searches Citing Photo Of Bondi’s ‘Burn Book’ Rep. Pramila Jayapal accused Bondi and the DOJ of “spying” on members of Congress by keeping track of their search history of the Epstein files.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal accused Bondi and the DOJ of “spying” on members of Congress by keeping track of their search history of the Epstein files.

I’ll believe it when I see it….

Pirro should be impeached just for attempting to get an indictment against members of Congress for speech.

Her incompetence is actually useful right now because it negates her malevolence.
