The grand jury refused to indict felony charges so DOJ brought a misdemeanor. The trial jury acquitted—note: that means that every single person on the jury voted for acquittal. There wasn’t even a single vote to convict. joycevance.substack.com/p/prosecutor...

It’s crystal clear what Make America Great Again really means.
Evanston, IL - IL-9 Congressional Candidates State Senator Laura Fine, State Senator Mike Simmons, State Representative Hoan Huynh, Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss, Skokie School Board Member Bushra Amiwala, Phil Andrews, and Sam Polan released a joint statement condemning the federal indictments of six people, including candidates, local officials, and activists. The leaders called the charges "an appalling abuse of power" and a "direct attack on the freedoms that define this country." "We unequivocally condemn the partisan and unethical indictments of the Broadview protestors at the direction of Donald Trump's weaponized Justice Department. This is what happens in dictatorships and failed states; we should never accept it here. In exercising their right to protest, these individuals were participating in the most American of traditions - and one that is more necessary and urgent every day. We support these rights unequivocally and support Kat, Cat, Michael, Andre, Joselyn, and Brian in their fight against an unjust prosecution. They want to make an example of one of us, hoping the rest will fall silent. They want us to believe that fear is safer than truth. But silence has never defined our state. We must stay stronger than ever and never back down to this type of bullying and intimidation." Signed: Laura Fine, Bushra Amiwala, Mike Simmons, Sam Polan, Hoan Huynh and Daniel Biss
NEW: In a joint statement, six of the top #IL09 candidates condemned the indictment of Kat Abughazaleh and five others on Wednesday, calling it "partisan and unethical."
"This is what happens in dictatorships and failed states; we should never accept it here."
Statement:
At the behest of corporate lobbyists, Trump's CFPB will block states from erasing medical debt from credit reports.
This comes as the GOP allows ACA subsidies to expire – which could cause millions to go uninsured and medical debt to skyrocket.
A perfect storm of cruelty.
Tweet by Michael A. Cohen that says Trump denied disaster relief for blue states and approved it for red states, accusing him of rewarding supporters. He adds that in a democracy, Trump would be impeached for it. Below is a WGN News link titled “Trump denies disaster declaration for Illinois.”
Our presidents should serve all the states, not just the ones that voted for them.

If That’s a donation, it goes to the treasury and only congress can decide how to spend it. No such (lawful) thing as private payment of government obligation.

I don't bluff and I usually win.
I feel lucky I grew up watching the explosion of the internet, culminating in the ubiquity of smart phones. Connecting humanity was our generation’s moon landing.
I feel cursed living through the innovation drought. Everything today feels designed to exploit the connected.

Tom Joscelyn analyzes the combination in the Trump administration of a purposeful and sometimes cunning authoritarianism, and a dark and destructive nihilism.
Not good!

Donald Trump lives in a carefully curated media bubble—half Fox News, half AI deepfakes—where everyone thinks he’s brilliant and America’s biggest concern is the White House ballroom.

Just sayin’:
“Comey’s attorney said he planned to challenge the case as selective and vindictive…He is also planning to argue the indictment should be dismissed because Halligan wasn’t lawfully appointed as U.S. attorney.”
My prediction and analysis from last week:

This thing where the president of the United States sues individuals and newspapers and television networks AS A PRIVATE CITIZEN to line his own pockets — how did that happen?
Meanwhile no one can sue or prosecute the president, because supposedly that would interfere with his official duties.
I am completely not a bullets guy, so maybe this is one of those questions that will lead to conservatives jumping down my throat for my unmanly ignorance, but:
Writing on bullet casings? Has that always been a thing? Is it a new thing? Is it, like, the lazy nihilist's substitute for a manifesto?
Don't look to the markets to reflect real risk. Markets are "conventional wisdom processors", where participants are all trying to guess what the average participant thinks. We're not so far removed from sheep as we like to believe.

He understood the significance of controlling citizenship and access to (or denial of) claims on the state for protection of rights.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
