NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: β€œWe are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

More than 75 former judges urge Senate committee to reject Trump judicial nominee Emil Bove | CNN Politics More than 75 former federal and state judges on Tuesday called on the Senate Judiciary Committee to reject the nomination of Emil Bove, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, to a prestigi...

When more than 75 former judges come forward to warn that a judicial nominee would be a danger to democracy, we should listen. Emil Bove has been an unethical lawyer for years and behind DOJ’s assault on the rule of law. Every senator should reject his nomination.

US seeks one-day sentence for police officer convicted in Breonna Taylor case The U.S. Justice Department has asked a federal judge to sentence a former Louisville police officer who was convicted last year of violating Breonna Taylor's civil rights to serve just one day in prison, despite the fact the conviction carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

β€œWhat Senator Alex Padilla did today was political theater.”

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions β€œdisrespectful”.

This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

Senator Padilla was violently assaulted for doing his job.

If this is how federal agents treat a sitting U.S. Senator peacefully asking questions, how far will they go?
