Judge tosses Comey, James cases after finding prosecutor unlawfully appointed The judge's decision on the appointment of Lindsey Halligan marks a significant setback to efforts to go after the president's perceived political enemies.

I hope MAGA DOJ appeals, just so discovery into its misconduct can continue pending appeal.

Pentagon Investigates Misconduct Allegations Against Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly The review comes after Kelly, a retired Navy captain, appeared in a video with other lawmakers telling military members not to obey unlawful orders.

Senator Kelly’s remarks in the video are “a 100% accurate representation of what the law says."

“No American citizen should have to deal with this type of preposterous investigation.”

- Professor Eugene Fidell, leading military justice expert in Wall Street Journal

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Such a small, petty, insecure loser. The Trump admin didn’t trust this drunken fool anywhere near the Ukraine negotiations so they sent the Sec of the Army instead. So this clown needs to play more stupid games.

The number of ways this is disgraceful behavior from the Secretary of Defense is...a lot.

Service members do have a duty to refuse illegal orders

All Americans have a 1st Amendment right to say that out loud.

Patel Under Scrutiny for Use of SWAT Teams to Protect His Girlfriend

Patel’s heavy use of taxpayer resources has contributed to growing questions inside the administration about whether it exceeds standard practice, including deploying SWAT teams to guard his girlfriend. @alanfeuer.bsky.social Adam Goldman @glennthrush.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/23/u...

This is beyond embarrassing.

Border Patrol’s Charlotte sting reaches into country clubs, upscale shops As undocumented immigrants stayed home and federal agents swept through the city, even the wealthiest neighborhoods got a glimpse of what life without migrants might look like.

“It’s taking a toll everywhere.”

Charlotte's Border Patrol operation has rippled across the lines of race and class, spilling into tony neighborhoods where many residents gave little thought to how President Trump’s deportation push would affect them.

Patel Under Scrutiny for Use of SWAT Teams to Protect His Girlfriend The F.B.I. director’s travel on government jets has contributed to growing questions inside the administration about whether he is using taxpayer-funded resources inappropriately.

Kash Patel’s deployment of SWAT teams to protect his girlfriend and his own travel on government jets has led to questions about whether the FBI director is using taxpayer funds inappropriately. His moves have drawn sharp criticism from some former agents and conservatives.

Thanks for everything, DOGE. 🤡

The Day Donald Trump Turned Into Mamdani’s Beta A study in one man standing tall and another crumpling like a cellophane sack of half congealed bacon fat.

“But the second he encounters someone with spine, someone with moral clarity, someone unmoved by bluster, he folds. He wilts. He sits there like a dog brought instantly to heel, panting for approval from the very man he swore he would obliterate.”

Rubio Admits Difficulties in Translating US Peace Plan from the Original Russian

Secret US-Russia Talks Led to Peace Plan That Blindsided Ukraine The controversial 28-point plan dropped suddenly by the Trump administration to Ukraine as a take-it-or-leave it proposition mere days ago was mostly the result of several weeks of negotiations behind...

Trump’s controversial plan given to Ukraine as a take-it-or-leave it proposition was the result of weeks of negotiations behind the scenes between Steve Witkoff and his Russian counterpart Kirill Dmitriev that excluded Ukraine, its allies and key US officials.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.

The America First people in charge of the US government don’t seem very America First to me.

Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

Appeals court panel mulls $1M penalty for Trump in lawsuit against Hillary Clinton One of the judges said the president’s effort to revive the lawsuit his one-time personal attorney Alina Habba brought violated federal court rules.

Todd Blanche always looks like he just shit his pants and is deliberating next steps

You may not be able to afford rent and groceries, and your health insurance may be about to skyrocket in 42 days, but the good news is that the Saudis got F-35s, nuclear tech, and security guarantees after putting hundreds of millions in Trump’s pocket.

It really is disgusting that Trump can insult, berate, single out, threaten, and demean female reporters on a daily basis for asking fair and legitimate questions and you can’t find a single Republican woman in Congress to say it is inappropriate behavior.

Based on how John Thune continues to legislatively rebuke Mike Johnson on one issue after another, it seems pretty clear that he thinks MAGA Mike is feckless and incompetent and is just going to ignore him and do what he wants.

Big disputes are emerging among two GOP senators vying for Trump's backing on health care plans. BILL CASSIDY wants to redirect enhanced ACA funds ($35b/yr) to FSA/HSAs. RICK SCOTT wants to end those funds and let ACA enrollees take the *entire base subsidy* as cash if they want.

Turns out that the $16MM payoff ABC made to Trump bought them only a few months' reprieve. Weird how that happens.
