The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Yes this is totally incompetent but the real story here is the sheer lawlessness of Lindsay Halligan. Imagine being a lawyer and having such little regard for the rule of law that you would fake a grand jury indictment and lie about it.

Halligan should not only be disbarred, she should be in jail.

A map of where the U.S. military was deployed in the United States. The dots are color coded. The dots are in the District of Columbia, Los Angeles and surrounding areas, Florida, unknown locations in Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas, the southern border area, South Carolina, Idaho, Nevada, Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Border Patrol's Laredo Sector, Texas, Los Angeles and surrounding areas, Louisana, Nebraska, South Dakota, Georgia, Wyoming, Memphis, Tennessee, and Missouri.

The U.S. military is being used inside the United States. There's a lot we don't know about how, why, and under what authorities.

Today, Lawfare is launching a new project–which includes a tracker and a map–to follow where and how the military is being domestically deployed.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

Is hysteria an essential ingredient for fascism?

"I have heard about a whole lot of hate that's being directed at our Trans community. Anybody who is using this as an opportunity to villainize our Trans community [...] has lost their sense of common humanity. We should not be operating out of a place of hate for anyone. We should be operating from a place of love for our kids." - Jacob Frey, Mayor of Minneapolis August 27, 2025

August 8, 2025 (Friday) During the 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump vowed he could stop Russia’s war on Ukraine with a single phone call.

"Putin generally cannot travel outside Russia because he has been indicted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes, including the theft of Ukrainian children. And yet Trump is welcoming him to the United States of America."

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "It's the rule of Don, no longer the rule of law. And people need to understand the lines that are being redrawn in Texas are not about party. They're about power. And you've got to meet fire with fire and power needs to be asserted in blue states, not just red states."

The EPA is preparing to cancel $7 billion in grants intended to fund rooftop solar projects for low- and middle-income households. Officials plan to send notices to all 60 recipients in the Solar for All program, spanning 49 states, informing them that their funding has been revoked.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

Trump is so desperate to change the subject from Epstein that his DOJ is literally putting out press releases about Hillary Clinton’s emails.

Pam Bondi has just told the American Bar Association it will no longer have access to vet judicial candidates.

I assume this means the Trump administration is about to nominate some true stinkers as judges and is trying to limit the fallout.
