A freedom-loving people will not stand for the corruption and the power grabs we’re witnessing daily in our country. That's why millions of Americans took to the streets a few days ago, and it's why elections like the Virginia governor race will show the path to a better future a few days from now.

BREAKING: Jack Smith is insisting upon a public hearing if Congress wants to talk to him Good. Why does the GOP want backroom secret questioning? What are Republicans afraid of? Let the American people see & hear for themselves!

"Destruction of federal property is a federal crime-18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines it as willfully injuring or committing any depredation of U.S. gov't property-Damage exceeding $1k is a felony w/ a fine-up to 10 yrs in prison or both" Meanwhile-took me forever to get permits to repaint my mailbox.

A man was arrested for playing Darth Vader's theme music, "The Imperial March," behind National Guard troops walking through Logan Circle. Now the ACLU is suing on his behalf. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

1. Promote and write code for Trump’s stablecoin. 2. SEC drops its Binance lawsuit. 3. Get a Trump pardon. @wsj.com www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

Mike Johnson doesn't know sh*t

"I think he's doing it so he can name a part of the White House after himself that's even bigger than the White House." Watch our man-on-the-street interviews and hear how regular people feel about Trump's ballroom, brought to you by @jaredpoland.bsky.social and @samsteindc.bsky.social:

Sixteen-year-old American Mohammed Ibrahim has described horrific conditions in Israeli prison: overcrowded cells, no heating or cooling, and barely enough food to survive. Democrats in Congress are demanding his release, but he remains detained without trial.

BREAKING: Donald Trump has pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, whose crypto exchange has been boosting the Trump family’s own crypto venture, WSJ reports. The most corrupt president in history.

The Universe Browser is believed to have been downloaded millions of times. But researchers say it behaves like malware and has links to Asia’s booming cybercrime and illegal gambling networks.

Maybe this is obvious to everyone but…why does the White House need a ballroom? It has enough space for state dinners, no? Is this for dances? Weddings? Storing classified documents? Just confused so the reason would be helpful thx

Well, well, well...

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government. She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her. So I confronted him.

If you’re driving around in unmarked cars, wearing masks, and kidnapping people, you’re not one of the good guys.

@merkley.senate.gov embodies strength and determination. He just spoke on the Senate floor for over 22 hours, standing up (both literally and figuratively!) for the American people. Well done, Jeff!

Today I watched the 5 episodes of PBS's Watergate documentary ..there's plenty parallels to what's happening today Episode 1 www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRIR...

"After sniping at a reporter for documenting their text conversation, Halligan went back to her tragicomical prosecution of a former government official for lying about conversations with reporters. Maybe she’s just pissed because Jim Comey knows how to speak on background?" — @lizdye.bsky.social

techno serves to enslave

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death. adamisacson.com/boat-strikes/

On Monday, @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org sat down with @annabower.bsky.social to discuss her article about how interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan reached out to her on Signal—and the conversation that followed. Watch their discussion: youtube.com/live/SZZyccE...

"Staff at ICE’s training academy in Brunswick, Georgia, recently discovered one recruit had previously been charged with strong arm robbery and battery stemming from a domestic violence incident..." www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Greg Newby, who led Project Gutenberg ( @gutenberg.org ) with passion and purpose. Greg’s belief in free and open access to knowledge continues to inspire us and so many others working to preserve our shared culture online. gutenberg.org/about/newby....

I published a book on the role that the Trump Pentagon played in enabling January 6. The very first sentence of any report on this breaking news should inform Americans that the odds of another January 6 succeeding—say, in January 2029—just increased by 1000%, and that was likely the point of this.

New in PN: Lindsey Halligan's humiliation continues apace "After discovering — too late! — that you have to tell reporters beforehand if you want conversations to be off the record, Halligan now finds herself attempting to prosecute 2 high profile cases on the 'rocket docket.' It’s not going well."

okay, why does building a white house ballroom with private funds not violate the anti deficiency act. what am I missing here

As Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses the U.S. of committing murder for killing a Colombian fisherman in an attack on a boat in the Caribbean, we speak to the country's just-recalled ambassador to the U.S., Daniel García-Peña.

He raped underaged girls. He raped grown women. He virtually shat on America. He’s currently assaulting The People’s House. Release the Epstein Files.

Donald Trump’s administration doesn’t respect the Constitution. But they’re learning that Illinois does not and will not bow under their tyranny.

ICE fired shots again, hitting a civilian and a U.S. marshal. DHS, once again, is claiming the man rammed ICE with his car. Let’s see how long before that version of events unravels. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

If North Carolina enacts this new map, it will be sued. I don't bluff and I usually win.

I lived this as a youngster. I remember my dad, who was shot in WWII, telling me that this happened because of hate and fear.

"Game theory tells us that the only way to convince Republicans to stop using their current decision-making rubric is for Democrats to adopt it themselves. Tit for tat. Democrats should be using every lever of power available to them by law." www.thebulwark.com/p/no-kings-a...

I’m shocked the guy who hired undocumented immigrants (Polish laborers) w/no safety equipment and paid them $4 an hour in 1980 (then stiffed them) to tear down Bonwit Teller (including art deco friezes promised to the MET) is demolishing the East Wing of White House w/bad intent.

Both the U.S. marshal and the immigrant were shot by federal officers. You’d never know that from this headline.

🚨BREAKING: The State of Arizona filed a lawsuit accusing House Speaker Mike Johnson of violating the Constitution by refusing to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. The plaintiffs argue that Johnson’s delay has deprived hundreds of thousands of Arizonans of representation.

The biggest renovation of the White House -- the so-called Truman Reconstruction of 1949-1952 -- came about only because the building was in such a state of disrepair that inspectors decided it was unsafe for occupancy. Not because the president just decided he needed a big fancy ballroom.

NEWS: Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes and Rep.-Elect Adelita Grijalva have SUED the U.S. House of Representatives in federal court in Washington, D.C. over Speaker Mike Johnson’s refusal to swear in Grijalva. Grijalva would be the 218th vote for the Epstein Files discharge petition.
