New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Hegseth is now threatening to recall Sen. Mark Kelly to active duty in order to court martial him.

Says the guy who auto-penned nearly 1600 pardons for January 6

There is no constitutionally legitimate scenario in which we are being de facto governed by the White House Deputy Chief of Staff using a half-dead president as his sock puppet. We went out of our way to amend the Constitution on precisely this point.

Why do judges stay their orders at all? It they believe they are right force the losing side to appeal to overrule them. It shows such cowardice on the judge’s part.

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

Same as it ever was.

"Two National Guard members were shot Wednesday near the White House and are in critical condition, according to a law enforcement official not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and who spoke to AP on condition of anonymity."

NEW: ACLU lawyers name Emil Bove, now a federal judge, as possible witness in contempt inquiry. The former DOJ official — who was Trump's criminal defense lawyer before that — is one of nine names submitted to Judge Boasberg. This evening, at Law Dork:

D.O.G.E. ceased operating eight months before it was supposed to. Why? Was the publicity too bad; the backlash too strong? Was Musk bored; scared? Why did Ramaswami never appear? Did Thiel scoop up what he wanted faster than expected? What's been stolen? How much is irreparable? Who's accountable?

Alaska vowed to resolve the murders of Indigenous people. But when one nonprofit asked state law enforcement officials for a fundamental piece of data — a list of Indigenous murders they’d investigated — the state said no. With @adn.com

here is the full clip, which they haven't posted here yet. i am grateful they summarized it b/c ... oof. the clip is worse than the summary. it takes her almost 4 minutes to get through this. x.com/DropSiteNews...

I'm a professor of English and there is a rule against using the word "charismatic" in the same sentence as "Dershowitz". Perhaps she needs an editor.

"We are crystal clear and explicit on our mission. You are going to know what We the People are demanding." Impeachment. Jessica Denson @jessicadenson07.bsky.social

In the I’m Sorry I Don’t Believe It File: FBI Director Kash Patel stated that no cover-up occurred in the Thomas Crooks assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, adding Trump is (obviously) content with the outcome of the investigation.

Trump is a lame duck (at least if the Constitution holds), and it’s beginning to show and his control over the G.O.P. is beginning to soften.

Could we please focus on (A) senate races (B) other local elections and (C) actually credible 2028 prez candidates—in that order. This guy from NY isn’t part if that conversation. People like Buttegeig, Spanberger, Newsome, Pritzger, Whitman, Shapiro actually might have national appeal.

We're not sitting on our hands and waiting for midterms, hoping that being "not Trump" is enough for people to vote for us. We're doing the work now. If you're happy to sit on your hands, that's on you.

January 3, 2027 is 408 days from now. We do not believe that waiting more than 400 days to even begin to attempt to remove this regime is safe or feasible. Demand your elected officials honor their oaths. Demand impeachment now. (And vote in the midterms, of course!) WE CAN DO BOTH THINGS.

We can consider how to move forward much more productively if we don't fabricate the facts of where we are and what we need. #ProudBlue

BREAKING: Texas went to the U.S. Supreme Court in the redistricting case on Friday evening, seeking a stay pending appeal and administrative stay of the three-judge district court ruling blocking the use of the 2025 map and ordering the use of the 2021 map. A response is due Monday.

The Oversight Committee's subpoena of the Epstein files requires the DOJ to turn over documents—regardless of any federal investigations. Even if Pam Bondi tries to slow down the bill passed by Congress, she CAN'T do the same on our subpoena. Release the files, NOW.

Protest in DC 20-22 November. 20th is Congressional visits, the last day before they break for Thanksgiving. 21st is a veterans rally. 22nd is a massive rally and Dropkick Murphys will be there. Join the Fam of Liberty any day that you can. If you cannot make it all 3 days, be there Saturday.

Hunger must never be used as a political weapon.   At today’s @hungerfreeamerica.bsky.social briefing, the data is clear: federal cuts are driving more families into food insecurity.   We must make sure our most vulnerable neighbors have basic necessities so they can access the American Dream.

TRUMP DID COLLUDE WITH THE RUSSIANS IN THE 2016 ELECTION! THE DEMOCRATS? SERIOUSLY? 11 Trump Campaign Staff went to jail for? Wait for it! For lying to the FBI about their colluding with the Russians. Geesh. We are not gonna let Faux News rewrite the history we all lived through! LIARS!

Finance is based on numbers, on objective, verifiable facts. Politics can be based on vague opinions, all thought to be equally valid. It takes not just a good mind, but also real effort, to challenge preconceptions and prejudices. It’s so much easier, and profitable, to follow your feelings.

BREAKING: Prosecutors in the Comey case just told the judge that they’re under orders from the Deputy Attorney Generals’s office not to disclose whether career prosecutors wrote a memo recommending *against* indicting Comey prior to Halligan going to the grand jury.

"If it lies within the province of a court to change the charging part of an indictment to suit its own notions of what it ought to have been ... the great importance [of] an indictment by a grand jury ... may be frittered away until its value is almost destroyed." —Ex parte Bain (1887)
