THIS WAS SO PREDICTABLE

Remember when Trump built an entire narrative around “saving” white South Africans, claiming they were facing “white genocide” in their own country, which was a lie? He fast-tracked refugee status for them while slamming the door on everyone else.

Whenever a journalist, a commentator, a professor, a tech executive or anyone else calls it the “Department of War,” they appease warmongering chauvinists.

By law, the sole name of the Department of Defense is the Department of Defense. ...

A federal judge just called out the DOJ for politically motivated prosecutions The Justice Department's sullied reputation is finally catching up to it.

This was always going to happen: Trump, and the Supreme Court, turned DOJ into an extension of the president's will. Now, judges trust DOJ about as far as they can throw it.

The immunity decision and unitary executive theory breed corruption and ineffectiveness.

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.

I'm telling you, boring old lawyers are now going to ABA panels to applaud hostile retorts to MAGA panelists and yell "you're a clown" at them.

A whole lot of people who merely furrowed their brows at Trump I are now seething with rage, and the Dem consultant class needs to wake up to that.

Hunter Biden painting sale update - Lawyers, Guns & Money One thing that very definitely happens in political cultures is that norms about corruption can erode to the point where just the most flagrant imaginable influence-peddling in the most dire possible circumstances is met with little more than a collective shrug: Jared Kushner, one of the U.S. government’s chief negotiators in the Middle East, is […]

Donald Trump is notorious for filing lawsuits at the drop of a hat. He's filed over 4,000 of them. Many for defamation.

But Donald *will not* sue Ted Lieu for defamation. Why? He's been told by lawyers that in defamation actions, truth is an absolute defense.

Yes—you're reading this NYT report right: Israel shrieked at Lebanese civilians (including women, kids, and the elderly) to "FLEE FOR YOUR LIVES!", Denethor-style, then...

...bombed the bridge they needed to use to flee.

This war is evil. Those launched it are evil. No good person fails to see it.

Genuinely curious if the DOGE bros just thought they could pull a bunch of wires out of the walls, gleefully ruining/ending various lives, and then live long and prosperous existences free of being relentlessly owned online

Well done 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Wall art at Union Market in DC reads, “OPERATION EPSTEIN FURY.”

Look closer. Fallen soldiers’ names: Nicole Amor, Declan Coady, Noah Tietjens. Each marked, “DID NOT HAVE TO DIE.”

And at the bottom, the gut punch: “FIGHTING IRAN FOR THE EPSTEIN CLASS.”

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."
