NEW: Carol Loennig tells Nicoll Wallace on MSNOW that the DOJ intends to try and indict Letitia James a THIRD time. The trouble with that is these multiple tries help James prove her vindictive and selective prosecution bid, and bolster a case to get the grand jury materials.

She should sue them

Update: The guy they endorsed a year ago wants them to leave the country.

Can’t wait until they also rule that California’s map to counter Texas is illegal. 🙄

Democracy dies on the Supreme Court’s shadow docket. From Kagan’s dissent:

omg

This isn’t just a political win for Trump. It’s a blessing for racial gerrymandering for political goals. It’s a gift to the administration’s and congressional GOP’s open embrace of white nationalism to hold power by stripping marginalized groups of their rights. This is an American tragedy.

A grand jury has declined to re-indict Letitia James. 👏

A big deal (or it should be):

Sooooo Medicare for All?

9 House Republicans could choose to take away Johnson’s gavel today if they wanted.

The FBI reward for any information about the bomber was cranked up years ago and they were not getting anywhere meaningful. The timing of this “breakthrough”, given the gaggle of bad actors in charge, should be met with some skepticism.

President Trump has now pardoned 12 members of Congress convicted of crimes varying from tax evasion, campaign corruption, lying to the FBI, bribery, insider trading, obstruction, etc. If Jeff Epstein were alive today, he’d be a free man in Trump’s America.

We are so far off the playing field here we can't even see the stadium.

Trump has issued 1500+ pardons and counting…a who’s who of drug kingpins, crypto scammers, violent insurrectionists, terrorism financiers & corrupt politicians. In Trump’s oligarchy, the rich and powerful can pay their way to reside above the law.

Trump said he’s going to void anything Biden signed with an autopen. 1. He can’t do that 2. Cool. Throw all the J6 convicts back in jail - Trump pardoned them with an autopen

The Trump administration has notified Congress that it plans to eliminate Voice of America’s international offices and radio services.

The way I've looked at it is, there has never been, and never will be, a bottom with Trump and his ilk.

Me too

Did you know Trump has added 2.2 trillion to the national debt since taking office 10 months ago?

Devastating. Trump admin selling off historic public art to the highest bidder. "It is a tragic irony that murals meant to represent the contract between the government and its citizens would be sold to the highest bidder rather than preserved for posterity." www.alternet.org/trump-destro...

As the mom of a five-year-old reading this and imagining what this family is going through made me physically ill. Unimaginable evil is being perpetrated before our eyes and with our tax dollars.

Maybe if he eased up on rage posting in the middle of the night he might stay awake during cabinet meetings.

I know we want to look away, sometimes we *need* to look away for at least a bit, just to get by, to try to get through it all. But sometimes, it's just too horrible to look away. We have to ask ourselves: what we will say, what did we do, where were we, when all this was happening?

Trump unleashes xenophobic tirade against Somalis, branding them "garbage" in an outburst that was shocking in its unapologetic bigotry even for a president known for his history of insulting Black people, write Zolan Kanno-Youngs and @shawnmccreesh.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

We didn’t hit it twice We did hit it twice and that’s legal The Admiral did it We didn’t see them I’m in the fog of war and you’re not even though I am right where you are

I know this is annoying but imagine if Joe Biden slept through a cabinet meeting

There have been reports of volunteers in TN being harassed, and those incidents have been forwarded to local authorities. Everyone deserves to participate in our democracy without fear or intimidation. If you ever find yourself in a situation that feels unsafe, don’t hesitate to reach out for help.

One of the four elements of malignant narcissism is sadism.

So, seems like we’re not all that serious about fighting the war on drugs after all. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

Please focus these posts on winning back Congress and not some abstract tribunal. Congress is the only place these folks will face questions - not in Hegseth’s DoD or Bondi’s DoJ, or the Hauge (we aren’t subject to the ICC). And not in the next administration because Trump will pardon all of them.

The attorney for Juan Orlando Hernández (the former Honduran president convicted in the United States on major drug-trafficking charges) announced today that his client has been released from a federal prison in West Virginia after receiving a full pardon from President Trump.

The wholesale murder of people in international waters, without due process, is a crime. If left unchecked, it will lead to more such crimes. This is how things work. Letting them get away with it is the same as giving them permission to keep doing it.

One of the hypotheticals in Trump's arguments for immunity was that he could send Seal Team 6 to kill someone and be immune from prosecution.

All the more reason to shop at Costco over Target or Amazon.

"In April, he welcomed Witkoff to the St. Petersburg presidential library for another three-hour meeting with Putin. Witkoff took his own notes, relying on a Kremlin translator..." www.wsj.com/world/russia...

If you fall for a billionaire telling you to hate your neighbors, especially if you claim to be Christian, I don't know, man. That's pretty stupid.

Exhibit 926 in criminal contempt proceedings. Noem’s declaration is due Friday to Judge Boasberg.

Indeed, it's a confession and admission of guilt to heinous crimes.

When he’s gone, I know there will be a lot to do, but can we make sure the living rose garden gets restored? Started. Going.

The House and Senate are both investigating Pete’s war crimes

Real photo.

Pete Hegseth is a war criminal and should be fired immediately.

What he said: 💯 🎯
