Lindsey Halligan's humiliation continues apace She's bad at media, and even worse at law.

New in PN: Lindsey Halligan's humiliation continues apace

"After discovering — too late! — that you have to tell reporters beforehand if you want conversations to be off the record, Halligan now finds herself attempting to prosecute 2 high profile cases on the 'rocket docket.' It’s not going well."

He 𝙞𝙨 The Onion.

Trump’s Vile New $230 Million Shakedown of DOJ Just Got Even Worse It’s bad enough that Trump wants—and DOJ will likely fork over—this tribute payment. Now, get this: It can probably be done at first without even being revealed publicly.

Good: Jamie Raskin tells me he's formally demanding any/all internal communications between WH and DOJ on Trump's $230 million payoff.

More Dems should talk this way about Trump's criming. He's turning the presidency into a massive Bribe Delivery System.

When he finished his 22-hour speech, Merkley warned that authoritarianism “is not around the corner” but “here right now.”

I would like Mike Johnson to point to a single member of the American Communist Party.

Ask former President Barack Hussein Obama whether or not he really believes that in 2020 Joe Biden got 15 Million more Votes than he did in 2012 (65.9 vs. 81 Million). Additionally, ask him why it is that Joe Biden “beat” Obama in every single Swing State with the Black Vote in 2020, even though Black Voters hate him, but in no other State? THE 2020 ELECTION WAS AN ILLEGAL SCAM/HOAX THAT THE PEOPLE OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY WILL NEVER FORGET!

i will never understand how 77 million Americans thought empowering this was a good idea. our country was so lucky to survive his first term and he's much worse now.

Inside the Hermitage, the winter palace where Tsar Nicholas II and his family lived before they were executed—in a country where Russians were starving.

When I say the MAGA movement is post-truth, this is the sort of thing I mean. Push blatant lies in advance of an event, see overwhelming evidence that the lies were false, know that others saw it too, but plow ahead with the same lies, opposed to the notion that living in factual reality matters.

Why millions of Americans are facing a spike in health care costs Millions of Americans are bracing themselves for a significant hike in their 2026 health insurance premiums without the subsidies at the center of the government shutdown battle. It comes as insurance...

A KFF survey found the average annual health insurance premium for a family increased 6% from the previous year. https://to.pbs.org/4ht7NCS

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

The White House, and America, and the Constitutional order -- all in a pile of rubble because a petty tyrant wants to break things and remake them in his image.

#NoKings security folks I spoke with in DC had no news about arrests.
There were lots of babies & kids, people with dogs, elders on scooters or with walkers, & no counterprotestors or militarized police.
Park Police stood watch, but had no crowd control to do.
Snipers above, no shooters.
Good day.

In Chicago Saturday.

This guy is such a shameless suck-up that he's mis-capitalizing words ("Countries," "History," "Tariffs") to be more like his Dear Leader. 🙄

Not a single mention of this across the Sunday shows as far as I could tell

Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like “oh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.

@cbsnews.com no coverage of 7m people in the streets @facethenation.bsky.social Amazing! How about Avoid the Nation or Kiss the Ring

Great day! Thanks for joining the 100,000 Minnesotans showing up for No Kings Twin Cities!

Initial estimate for No Kings Twin Cities at 100,000! So many Minnesotans SHOWED UP to protect our communities, our country and our democracy that the 1+ mile march route looped back and found thousands hadn’t even left the starting point! 👏❌👑

Over 100,000 in Minneapolis!

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Paducah, Kentucky with reported 1,500 in attendance.

People told the Reformer they were there to fight for democracy against the threat of what they say is President Donald Trump’s overreach, including deploying the National Guard to cities, deporting immigrants without due process and cutting off federal funds to Democratic states.

Portland Oregon: #NoKings one of the most anticipated protests does not disappoint!

A thousand writers: “SEE IF I WRITE THIS YOU TELL ME IT’S TOO ON THE NOSE”

There’s nothing more American than saying, NO KINGS‼️

REPUBLICANS ABOUT JANUARY 6: “A gathering of tourists.”

REPUBLICANS ABOUT THE NO KINGS PROTEST: “A hate rally.”

They praise the mob and condemn the movement. You see what they’re doing, right?

BREAKING: Our crowd count estimate from the No Kings coalition responsible for planning today’s event is 7 MILLION nationwide.

7 MILLION of you gathered across the country to peacefully protest today.

2 million more than the first No Kings action in June.
