If you want to read the transcript of the February 3 hearing where Julie Le had her "this job sucks" meltdown, now you can:

If you thought "This job sucks, please hold me in contempt" was wild, try reading the next 10 pages of the transcript. Just beggars belief.

I've not conflated anything.
I don't care WHO started the education system.
The system was NOT created to educated ENSLAVED AFRICANS.

The "founding fathers" were not concerned with democracy. They were concerned with consolidating power onto themselves, away from the Crown.

The fascists and the oligarchs have gone too far. Theyโ€™ve revealed themselves (& been revealed). The world will never forget that they are abusers & democracy destroyers. They have no options now. They went with the coup attempt when it looked like it would save them. It wonโ€™t. Democracy rising.

Intelligence watchdog shares whistleblower complaint involving Gabbard with Congress after monthslong delay The complaint was closed administratively by the intelligence community inspector general's office in June 2025, under prior leadership, watchdog says.

Gabbard held this up for 8 months with a truckload of excuses from executive privilege to "It's too classified for Congress." They have FINALLY transmitted the whistleblower report to Congress. www.cbsnews.com/news/intelli...

Virginiaโ€™s New Governor Ends ICE Program. Local Contracts Remain, For Now. - Bolts Abigail Spanberger left the 287(g) program, which empowered state law enforcement to detain immigrants. Will Democrats also bar local police and sheriffs from the program?

NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.

This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.

Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

I can now report that Judge Blackwell did not grant Julie Leโ€™s request for a nap, and also noted that, as overwhelmed as she may be, the people who the Trump administration is detaining in violation of court orders have it worse

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. Thatโ€™s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. Itโ€™s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

There are problems with supervision and training that
have resulted in immense violence to our communities. That
we hear that it is pulling teeth for counsel of record to
get her own client to fix these constitutional violations.
It should not be pulling teeth to get compliance from the
Government with the Constitution.
And a question I have for the Court is: Is the
party making it impossible for counsel to comply? Are they
acting in blatant disregard of court orders so much so that
their counsel sees her own self as a bridge between the
Court and the party here? That this is not -- this is
unprecedented, and we know that counsel for respondents
don't have the power to get their clients under control. An
e-mail with bold font is not going to change the widespread,
systemic pattern of disregard for court orders and honestly

There's an e-mail in that Docket 29 that I sent
eight days ago to ERO, to attorneys from the DOJ, the
Assistant U.S. Attorneys and attorneys representing ICE, Jim
Stolley; still haven't received a response. I'm begging for
a means of clear communication, and I'm flexible. I'm
sharing my personal cell phone. I'm saying, Whatever I can
do to work with you all to get my clients home, let me know;
to work with you all to get my clients' belongings returned,
let me know, and I receive no response.
And I think just this question of the overwork of
counsel here -- and I know we're all working above and
beyond and not sleeping as much as we need to be, so I
appreciate everybody for putting that effort in. And I
invite the Court to think about the root cause of the
problem, the root cause of our collective overwork here and
the strain on our system with these repeated, repeated
constitutional violations.

Eventually, counsel for the detained individuals gets their say. Among many other thoughtful things, they suggest that DHS is making it impossible to comply with the Court's orders and discuss the extreme efforts they had to go through to get anything from the other side.

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

SHOCKING FEDERAL COURT MOMENT: DOJ attorney Julie Le, "The system sucks, this job sucks" to Judge Jerry Blackwell who pressed her on why so many court orders are being ignored by ICE/Trump admin. She asked to be held in contempt just so she could get 24 hours of sleep. @FOX9

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

DOJ Just DELETED This Document from the Epstein Files. We Saved It. The Trump Department of Justice has done it again.

The Meidas Network is a precious gem! Theyโ€™ve saved all of the Epstein files released.
We shortened the URL to make it firm to the platform. Itโ€™s safe.
