A friend who follows closely said that he worried Talarico’s biggest vulnerability was that he may be in the closet. I think this puts that to rest. His answer is perfect. He’s a Christian, not a puritan.

We need a desalination moon shoot and I don’t understand why it’s not one of California’s biggest priorities.

Jonathan Greenblatt sobs into his pillow.

This is bizarre. And shouldn’t be constitutional.

Yes but these aren't professionals, these are stormtroopers who took the job to get their $50k signing bonus.

4 new seats are going to be just what the doctor ordered. And any Democrat who tries to stand in the way will be primaried by a well financed candidate.

As an attorney, I want to commend the people who are able to have the presence of mind to keep documenting this when every fiber of your being wants to step in and help innocent people being attacked by Nazis. These people are not going to get away with this. Do not give up.

4. Create a federal fund to help ppl victimized by DHS file civil suits. 5. Cut federal police funding to any agency that hires preemptively pardoned ICE officers. 6. Aggressively prosecute pardoned ICE for subsequent crimes (DUI, DV, anything), bring in ICE conduct as aggravator (like OJ theft).

Fair point. But there are a lot of ways to be creative: 1. State charges (can’t pardon those) 2. Amend 1983 to explicitly reject qualified immunity, make civil suits easier. 3. Make public the complete service record of all preemptively pardoned, to help w civil suits.

I think this is worth filing the Bivens action just to get it on the record. I know they’ve narrowed it to basically nothing but just do it.

Sick.

Unfortunately, Illinois may not charge Bovine with perjury here because it was done in Federal Court. I think we all know the Department of Justice will not prosecute him for the crime. Judge Ellis could hold Bovine in contempt for lying to defy or evade her order. She should.

This would be outstanding. If Goldman showed he was a class traitor I’d discourage this. But he’s not. He’s a corp democrat. I’m with Lander here.

People need to lay off RFK for running out of the room. It wasn’t him. The brain worm just took the controls Ratatouille style and sent him running.

If this guy doesn’t start a shop called “The Criminal Sandwich” or “The Indicted Ham Sandwich” I’m going to be pissed.

For people that seem to be consumed by the idea that schools radicalize kids to become leftists…they don’t seem to realize or care that they’re doing it themselves.

Juries are what actually make America great.

Potentially setting up some civil damages relief where available to plaintiffs.

Still waiting on the real kicker. What’s the warning for violating this PI.

Imagine this administration claiming that people who weren’t mass shooters could lose their second amendment rights for their presence near one, to understand how stupid this argument is.

Judge, it’s your job to stop it. Start putting people in jail for violating it.

These ICE folks better hope they get their pardons signed. Because we will be holding these records for 2029.

Judge Ellis is laying out a clear evidentiary findings which should insulate her rulings from being disturbed on appeal. Great deference is paid to District Court’s evidentiary rulings. But we need real enforcement here.

Actuarial tables, please work.

They are turning guys who voted for Rahm Emanuel twice into the Weather Underground

This should be prosecuted by the Portland DA.

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

His name is Guillermo J. Diaz-Torres. Imagine having a name like that and being a fucking ICE agent. What a fucking loser.

These people have no self discipline. There’s going to be ample opportunity to throw the book at them for committing state crimes. Do it.

How did all these people get cancer but not Rudy Giuliani? Probably because he didn’t do shit after the cameras moved on.

I used ChatGPT to study for the California Bar Exam and passed so…Kim I don’t think this one is going to work.

One of the great joys of Zohran's victory is that NYC finally has a mayor who doesn't give a shit about what the New York Times thinks of him

Admittedly, I don’t know about the content of this book but its subject reminds me that Democrats need to get back in the game on think tanks. Smart people should be getting a salary to read these pieces and effectuate policies that help people.

She just buzzes with rage every day. It’s hilarious.

He needs it labeled because his demented ass keeps getting lost.

Zohran wasn’t the only hot person elected yesterday.

A very good reminder that despite the narrative they’re trying to sell the country, the majority of us don’t actually like what’s going on right now

whatever you think of Spanberger, the fact that her opponent ran a campaign based almost entirely on transphobia and is on track to eat shit in the biggest blowout the state has seen since 2009 is unambiguously a huge win

Republicans are so afraid of the success they’re sure will come from Zohran Mamdani, that they’re going to try to use the Federal government to harm as many people as possible. It will not stand. The American people will see through this. COST OF LIVING

Decision Desk has called both of Georgia's statewide races, for public service commissioner, for Democrats. If confirmed, this would be a really huge win for Democrats: It'd be their first statewide win in any non-federal race since 2006!

Hahahahaha. I think I’d plead the fifth rather than sound like this much of a pussy.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

If you let a pathetic fake bomb threat stop you from voting, you don’t deserve a democracy. People stormed mother fucking beaches bunkered with Nazis shooting at them to protect freedom. You can take absolutely no risk by not believing any of these fake threats.

if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.

Once again. The journalist could simply ask the questions again. But they’re incapable of remembering what happened two days ago. “You’ve certainly seen it now Mr. Speaker.”

hug your war criminals a little tighter today

Greg Abbott was a well respected judge for a long time. All it took for him to pretend to be a babbling idiot was a threat he may lose a primary.

us citizen shot by ICE officer after victim said 'not cool, bro'/'hey those are kids' is almost like a daily story at this point.

This is more like Jesus than Mike Johnson could ever dream of being.
