Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."

Tostrud also agrees that federal agents appeared to mishandle Pretti's firearm but that this fact alone doesn't justify a continued restraining order and there wasn't enough information to decide what should be done about it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

So is this SC Justice John Roberts? Would that be the reasoning behind the NDA

New on MS NOW: Leader Jeffries says Democrats will begin impeachment proceedings against Kristi Noem if she is "not fired immediately."

In response to Trump’s trade war, the rest of the world makes free trade agreements while Trump fires off new manic tariffs weekly every time another leader says something he doesn’t like.

I must agree with Rep. Ted Lieu. This was just a distraction becuase Republicans refuse to talk about Epstein files. 🤣🤣🤣

Turns out we invaded to protect indigenous communities in Venezuela. Who knew?

Trump is selling seized Venezuelan oil and putting the cash in a bank account in Qatar. Nothing to see here. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

NEW: Statement of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Trump’s criminal investigation into him. He says they are seeking an indictment over his Congressional testimony, but calls it pretext to pressure him into lowering interest rates.

Oh, I definitely will remember…

The tl;dr of this report is not that these administration officials are upset about ICE having murdered Renee Good; it's that even these goons realize Noem's lies about the murder were so poorly crafted that people aren't going to believe all the other lies the administration tells the public.

Just to be clear, Bernie Sanders and Josh Hawley proposed a bill in the Senate a year ago, along with AOC and Luna in the House, to cap interest rates on credit cards at 10%. It is nice that Trump has suddenly decided to get on board with it in an election year.

The Guardian gets it right:

Vance and MAGA decided to push all their chips into the middle of the table and put a big bet down on the actions of ICE agent Jonathan Ross, thinking that the public was going to side with him that Renee Good put his life in danger and he merely acted in self-defense. Dumb move.

Support independent media.

I would wager that the actual reason why no prior sitting president has apparently ever taken the Montreal Cognitive Assessment test, is that no prior president or VP since the test's creation in 1996 has ever engaged in behavior that is as suggestive of cognitive impairment as Trump has.

Canada: Our Prime Minster studied at Oxford and Harvard, was the Governor of both the Banks of England and Canada, and is recognized as one of the sharpest financial minds around. America: oh yeah? Our guy has to take dementia tests every week.

JUST IN: A magistrate judge has ordered alleged pipe bomber Brian Cole detained pending trial. He’ll likely appeal this to his eventual trial judge if/when there is an accepted federal indictment.

Jack Smith's deposition must be bigger news "There is no historical analog for what..Trump did..[H]e was free to say he thought he won..He was even free to say falsely that he won..But..he was not free to..violate federal law and use knowingly false statements..to target lawful government function"
