I’m a career prosecutor who took a $25,000 check from an affiliated entity of Donald Trump’s while investigating Trump University and later left my lobbying firm to become Donald Trump’s personal impeachment lawyer, White House aide, and Attorney General. So don’t you DARE question my integrity.

Can’t stop thinking about this and what it says about a person.

“I’m just trying to find any clues, ideas, see where they took him, why they took him. And what’s the whole purpose for this?”

how do these people pray?

Like "Dear God, give us the courage to beat the shit out of peaceful protesters, the wisdom to zip-tie children together, and the strength to drive combat vehicles towards small groups of grandmothers..."

There are folks on the neighborhood FB group who, when even any sort of disturbance or petty crime is reported, say things like "the National Guard can't come soon enough" and it's driving me absolute bonkers. (And I stay off the "crime watch" group where it must be incessant.)

Texas National Guard arrives in the Chicago area Texas National Guard members have arrived in Illinois. City and state officials say Donald Trump is using them as “political props” in Chicago.

These programs weren't set up this way simply for the benefit of recipients. They are by design also a subsidy for American agriculture. That's the longstanding red-blue, rural-urban political deal of it. Like how they're getting nuked by the trade war, they are cannibalizing their own coalition.

When you are a local public affairs news outlet and you put out what certainly appears to be a paid PR piece glorifying a developer whose favorite book is…(wait for it)

The Fountainhead.

The FAA is delaying flights at Newark and Denver airports because they haven’t got enough air traffic control. Burbank has zero ATC from 4.30-10pm.

Lots of controllers who aren’t being paid during the government shutdown are calling in sick.

The image is an X post by Acyn (@Acyn ) from 13 hours ago, quoting Pritzker: "He's saying that Chicago is a war zone. None of that is true. They're just making this up. And then what do they do? They fire tear gas and smoke grenades, and they make it look like it's a war zone." The post includes a screenshot from CNN's "State of the Union" showing two individuals discussing, with a chyron indicating DHS officers fired at a driver who rammed their vehicle, later determined to be someone trying to storm the Presidential Palace, as the South Caucasus Coalition.

This is like planting evidence and then making an arrest.

Law Student Settles With Landlord Over Repair Demands Affordable housing advocate and online publisher Mathew Cardinale was sued by his lease-to-own landlord, Divvy Homes, after he requested thousands of dollars in repairs to the northwest Atlanta house ...

..more on the Divvy story and other on Mathew here: finance.yahoo.com/news/law-stu...

Matthew was always out there shining light on many #AtlantaWay shenanigans (& worse). He once exposed a contract-for-deed seller, Divvy, by becoming a customer. They sued him claiming he tricked them by becoming a customer with purpose to pursue consumer protection claims. He won (settled). RIP.

New Yorker cartoons nail it again.

Atlanta has been been rapidly gentrifying for years & seen tremendous growth in property values since 2011. Yet the public schools starve. And now Mayor wants to extend its tax increment districts, which include some of city’s hottest areas, for 25 years, diverting more $ from schools. #AtlantaWay

Mayor Tumlin (Marietta in NW suburban Atlanta) needs to go. In 2015, when observing a new development he had pushed to demolish apartments that housed low-income Brown & Black families, he said “It’s almost like a dream. It’s almost like it’s 1970 again." (See: #RedHotCity)

CASE ASSIGNED to the Honorable April M. Perry. Designated as Magistrate Judge the Honorable Jeffrey T. Gilbert. Case assignment: Random assignment. (Civil Category 2). (khg, )

NEW: Illinois's lawsuit against the Trump admin to block the deployment of the Texas National Guard there has been assigned to Judge April Perry, a Biden appointee.

Of course, any "facts on the ground" that might be used to justify the National Guard in Chicago (and be acceptable to some federal judge) is actually unrest driven by the violent aggression of federal agents.

The history of Nazis holding rallies in left-wing areas of Weimar Germany, instigating street fights, and then telling the press that only they could save Germany from the "violent communists" seems like an important thing for people to be studying right now.
