A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

Prosecutors Began Investigating Renee Good’s Killing. Washington Told Them to Stop.

You should read this. It is the type of detail that experts in authoritarian regimes see as telling.
In this case, state agents are offered impunity from higher ups, and the legal system is rendered inoperative as a mode of accountability.

Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, Greg Bovino.

They must all resign and be held accountable.

Minnesota needs impartial investigations, the departure of federal forces, and an end to the campaign of retribution against our state.

They want to tell you a kid with a Spider-Man backpack is evil Liam Ramos' innocence, like the innocence of all kids, is unimpeachable. The visuals of his arrest are excruciating.

Something is deeply wrong if we, as a society, cannot agree that an administration that snatches up children, uses them as bait to hunt down others, is morally repulsive.

Trump Sets Fraudster Free From Prison for a Second Time

“Trump has used the unfettered presidential clemency power to reward allies and those who have paid his associates or donated to his political operation.” How do you spell corruption? D-O-N-A-L-D-J-T-R-U-M-P.

This is what integrity looks like. And slowly, all honorable people left at USDOJ are pushed out, replaced by toadies loyal to Trump and no one else. Very sad and very, very ominous.

ICE agents are Trump brown shirts, deliberately positioned to pick fights and normalize violence.

Some countries that have prosecuted or threatened to prosecute central bankers for the purpose of political intimidation or punishment for monetary policy decisions: Argentina, Russia, Turkey, Venezuela and Zimbabwe.

JAN 6
Y’all know what you saw.

On January 6, 2021, a mob summoned and encouraged by Donald J Trump stormed and vandalized the U.S. Capitol, beat police officers bloody, shouted death threats, threatened Congress, and sought to overturn an election they lost fair and square. We can never forget that!

An “arrest operation”? Trump has clearly not picked the best and brightest. He and his flunkies have violated the Constitution and all norms of international law, not knowing/caring of the consequences. It won’t end well for the U.S. nor, I suspect, for the Venezuelans. Sad!

Trump sympathizes with how stressful it would be for Putin to have to stop killing people for a while because of how inconvenient it would be for him to resume it. This whole thing is a farce. A charade. Putin is playing Trump like the useful idiot that he is.

MY LATEST: The “60 Minutes” we have known is dead. The fearless program that many of us grew up with was strangled by corporate titans seeking favor with the Trump White House.

The Orbanization of the American press "The really unnerving thing is Trump using state power to influence who a company gets sold to," Matt Gertz tells us.

Everything Everywhere All at Once

Trump’s toadies are corrupt and incompetent. The lower courts are doing what they can but SCOTUS is controlled by right-wing extremists who determine the result they want and then come up with the justification.

‘A classic authoritarian tactic’: outrage over Trump’s pardons for friends and allies Ex-prosecutors and legal scholars say US president ‘meting out pardons for blatantly corrupt and self-serving ends’

“[M]eting out of pardons for blatantly corrupt and self-serving ends is a classic authoritarian tactic that undermines the rule of law.” David Pozen, Columbia University law prof.

At the same time the Trump administration is firing FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors who investigated the J6 insurrection, they are pardoning those directly involved in trying to overturn the election and organizing January 6th, and prosecuting the President's perceived political enemies.

Letitia James Is Among Prominent Black Women Targeted by Trump

More retribution from this lawless administration with a large dose of racism and sexism.

The Supreme Court Just Rewrote the Constitution to Give Trump Terrifying New Powers The conservative supermajority's lawless shadow docket decision let the president unilaterally cancel $4 billion in foreign aid.

More shadow docket lawlessness from SCOTUS right-wingers. “When the president’s name is Donald Trump, it seems that the Supreme Court will sacrifice any constitutional principle to give him what he wants.”

Trump Gets the Retribution He Sought, and Shatters Norms in the Process

Wrong on so many levels and deeply sad. We’ve become a banana republic, no longer a nation where rule of law governs. Do you think, perhaps, the markets might eventually notice that our slide into autocracy is bad for the economy?

National parks truly are America’s best idea. Here, Merriman Falls in Olympic NP a few days ago. Spotty cell/wifi, enormous trees, and other scenic beauty are good for the soul.

Trump Demands That Bondi Move ‘Now’ to Prosecute Foes

This is absolutely bonkers. Un-American. A clearly impeachable offense.
