Breaking on MSNBC: Two top criminal lawyers in the Eastern District of Virginia have been fired: Elizabeth Yusi, the criminal chief, and her deputy Kristin Bird. Both had been involved with Letitia James case and were skeptical of it.

Sunday reading: I wrote about the aggrieved extremist who is currently firing thousands of federal workers and ravaging state capacity based on conspiratorial nonsense - and about mainstream media’s infuriating tendency to sanitize Russell Vought and the regime he serves. This week’s piece:

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help. He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

NOTE: Leavitt says Trump will "stop by for his routine yearly check up." But…Trump had his annual check up already. 5 months ago. On April 11.

Trump's reaction when Carlos won....Priceless

“But no price is too high to pay in this pointless war against decades of lifesaving science.”

WTF? This is part of the ceremony of citizenship. These people aren’t against illegal immigration, they’re against legal immigration as well, and always have been.

Trump says that because he’s moving Space Command to “a locale called Huntsville, Alabama” which will *now* be forever known as “Rocket City.” He’s so powerful with these names, the bib from the marathon my dad ran there in the early 1980s has had this brand new nickname magically appear on it.

@joshtpm.bsky.social - Josh, will you be writing an ode to Duke Cunningham?

1) Help Ukraine build war industry and 2) Then order and pay for purchases of locally made Ukrainian weapons that will be given to Ukraine. Get the most out of spent money. Better logistics. Decreased dependency of US (just happens on the way....)

Really good piece here by @anthonylfisher.bsky.social. Give it a read.👇

@netrootsnation.bsky.social - in reading "Things to know before you go" - I have a question about the shuttle mini-buses. Not having any mobility issues myself ... how long a walk is it to go from the Hilton to the Convention Center? Is it more of a beat-the-heat (or rain) aspect?
