Republican members of Congress are resigning and complaining about GOP leadership to the press.

Maybe they’d have an easier time if they stopped focusing on their Epstein ballroom and billionaire buddies, and instead, started working with Democrats to lower costs.

β€œIf this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress ... holding this administration accountable, it won’t work,” Sen. Mark Kelly, a Navy veteran, said. β€œI’ve given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution.”

Today’s dismissal of cases against Comey and James is a triumph of the rule of law.

Career prosecutors did their ethical duty, refused to bring vindictive and meritless cases, and paid the price with their jobs.

That sound you heard was every GOP elected official with a lick of sense absolutely SHITTING themselves thinking about the visual of Mark Kelly back in uniform before a military court as Whiskey Pete's handpicked chucklefucks try to railroad him on bogus charges.

Pollsters are not asking the right question.

They need to ask approval for ICE/CBP raids and mass deportation.

We all want immigration control, but we don't want the hateful policies of this assministration.

Last week, I demanded the truth about Donald Trump’s call with Mohammed bin Salman regarding the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

Now, I’m being targeted in a sham investigation by DOW for calling this administration out on their corruption.

I'm not backing down. We will get the truth.

Some Park Rangers Are Still Owed Pay After the Shutdown Federal workers were guaranteed back pay once the government reopened. Some at the National Park Service are still waiting.

Federal workers were guaranteed back pay once the government reopened. But as many as 100 seasonal workers at the National Park Service have not received some back pay after being furloughed. nyti.ms/4rjKqjF

If you've actually gone grocery shopping recently, it's pretty easy to tell that prices aren't down.

This is a crazy story:

This.

Publicize what these people said.

Publicize that they asked soldiers to abide by the Constitution and disobey illegal commands.

The meaning of what's happening with these demands from DJT needs to be crystal clear.

Except, only applies if an (actual) indictment of @jamescomey.bsky.social was overturned. Pretty sure that to bring an Indictment, need a US Attorney -none were present.

So Trump calls for six serving members of Congress to be hung. The Sec Def calls for a serving Senator to be recalled to active duty to be Courtmartialed. All for saying military personnel can refuse ILLEGAL ORDERS. Absurd. Separation of powers. Statement inherent in the UCMJ.

(sigh) annnnnnnd before I even published my piece (which took several hours to put together)...it looks like Trump's proposal may be moot anyway.

Which is par for the course for healthcare analysis in the Age of Trump.

Comey rightly calls out the "biglaw" lawyers who have abdicated their responsibilities to uphold the rule of law, which -- after all -- is why the legal profession exists in the first place, as I discussed a few months ago.

I'd suggest @ericswalwell.bsky.social posts "We all know Trump is fed up with #K$h Patel, so when he tells #SealTeam6 to kill him, that is fine" (For the record, NOT OK why I support @captmarkkelly.bsky.social and the rest). cc @adamkinzinger.substack.com

The Voting Rights Act Is Still Working To Stop Racist Laws. The Supreme Court Might Not Care. Read about the fight for democracy from activists, elected officials, legal experts and others.

As the U.S. Supreme Court contemplates whether the VRA has outlived its usefulness, having heard oral arguments in October questioning the constitutionality of the landmark law’s most vital remaining provision, the question of racism’s grip on America remains. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/the...

Senator Kelly & his fellow veterans are American patriots.

Their video simply reiterated the Uniform Code of Military Justice's requirement to only carry out LAWFUL orders.

Not surprising that Secretary Talk Show Host doesn't know that.
