Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

I don’t even like James Comey, but this is so wrong. Let’s start indicting Supreme Court justices who blatantly lied to Congress

1. Until now, the debate over gov't funding has always boiled down to one question: which party is to blame for the shutdown. This time, tho, is there really any question? The Dems want to negotiate. The president refuses to. Since the gov't can’t be funded without a deal, the blame’s on him.

Because this administration thinks everyone believes the rules only matter when it helps “your side” (like they do), they are counting on Comey’s unpopularity to normalize this. Don’t let it. Whatever you think of him or his actions in the past, etc. this indictment is dangerous and an outrage.

Concerning …

Quinnipiac in recent poll asked: Do you think that the way people talk about politics these days is contributing to violence in the United States, or don't you think so? 82% of voters agreed with this including majority of Dems, Independents, and GOP. I said basically this and got fired.

If you are in the US military, this is your reminder that it is illegal to follow an unlawful order.

courts and state bars need to become willing, and quickly, to disbar govt attorneys for bringing these blatantly political prosecutions

Putin got everything he wanted and more. Trump just got humiliated. Listen to Rick break down the breakup heard 'round the world this week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ILAMub1-y8

And 1200 people taken like this are now “missing” from Alligator Alcatraz? What are we allowing, accepting, tolerating America?

Federal workers have already suffered more than enough… And nota bene this puts Musk at the receiving end as usual of US data which means your data.

Hegseth is putting all of the American generals and admirals from around the world into a single room. Why might Hegseth do such an extraordinary thing? Here I discuss four possible reasons. snyder.substack.com/p/hegseth-pu...

We used to help countries defend themselves against stuff like this. Under this administration, that help has been stopped. www.cnn.com/2025/09/26/e...

I still can’t put the pieces of this together at all. No wonder the DoJ didn’t write a speaking indictment. No scenario makes sense.

My assessment of the charges against Jim Comey, what the government will have to prove, what happens next and what we can expect the judge to do, & why this is ultimately about Donald Trump, as much as if not more so, than it is about Comey. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Jim Comey’s response to the indictment.

Just a reminder: democrats can’t shut down the government. Republicans hold the majority.

Before news of the Comey indictment broke, Bill Kristol & I discussed Trump’s takeover of DOJ. It’s remarkable that lots Republicans & Former Republicans have joined Democrats in support of democracy. There is no similar crossover in support of Trump. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

IN 15 MINUTES: Free Speech is disappearing before our eyes, so we have to get our licks in while we still can. The Breakdown will attempt to further hurt Trump's precious feelings at 7 PM EST: https://youtu.be/RpdDOIdW6M0

🚨BREAKING: A whistleblower warned Congress that a DOJ bending to Trump would punish those who refuse to bow. That moment is HERE. Ryan Crosswell is now running for Congress to fight back - and he needs all of US in this effort!

Republicans alone will be responsible for those looming mass layoffs, so we’re paying them back. We’re pledging to spend 2026 making sure these 26 MAGA GOP representatives lose THEIR jobs next fall. See any names we missed? Let us know here: https://action.lincolnproject.us/26for26

Let’s take the bits of wisdom and humility where we find them.

If your vote didn’t count, they wouldn’t be trying so hard to take it away. This one’s for you Georgia! youtube.com/shorts/AJqk2...

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

Forty special elections across the country since November 2024 and average margin of Democratic over-performance is 15 points. This is huge headed into next year's midterms.

First he fired them. Now he’s calling them back. 😤 Hundreds laid off by Trump’s DOGE cuts are being called back to work after months of uncertainty resulting in delayed services for taxpayers. No more stunts. No more chaos. Federal workers deserve respect. www.wusa9.com/article/news...

Brilliant 😅😂

Violence against ICE is wrong but not surprising.👇

The president corrupting DOJ to the point of frivolous prosecutions to harass his critics—sometimes defined as law enforcement officials honoring the law— is very serious and bad. And yet, much as the regime got bogged down not silencing Kimmel, it’ll spend limited resources not convicting Comey.

NEW: Trump's US Attorney in EDVA is going to try to get a grand jury to indict Comey despite investigators and prosecutors saying there's insufficient evidence. Not even probable cause. abcnews.go.com/Politics/new...
