Kash Patel: "When you attack our nation's capitol, you attack the very being of our way of life — We will always refute it & combat it" Unless you’re J6 insurrectionist who attacks the capitol — then you receive a pardon & get called a patriot…

Americans are struggling to pay their bills and afford groceries, and we've got a President who is asleep at the wheel.

They cannot be given authority to forcibly remove anyone from their vehicle this way. Think about how bad actors would abuse this power.

Sounds like a certain petulant orange shitgibbon is getting lost wandering around the White House in addition to falling asleep on camera multiple times a week Photo credit: Kaitlan Collins

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.

Colorado’s Democratic secretary of state vehemently rejected the DOJ’s unprecedented request for her state’s unredacted, private voter data, asserting she would not help Trump “hurt the American people.”

Abbe Lowell, the attorney who is representing Letitia James: “I can't tell you a time in the federal system...where a federal prosecutor thought a case was strong enough to bring to a grand jury, and the grand jury said no.” @kaitlancollins.bsky.social

Pardon incoming 🙄

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

Naturally, but the GOP and their MAGA fluffers on social media will have nothing to say about this, and Mike Johnson will pretend not to see this story until 2029. Trump Jr-backed startup gets $600 million dollar government deal.

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

Me too

NEW: GRAND JURY REFUSES TO RE-INDICT LETITIA JAMES per @nicollewallace.bsky.social on Deadline White House. HAHAHAHA

President Donald Trump wants to keep former special counsel Jack Smith's final report classified, according to a new court filing Tuesday.

So am I.

Good for her! Sue their pants off!

I worry more about the data than anything, honestly. They almost certainly aren’t managing it properly. It’s only a matter of time before it’s all compromised. The surveillance technology can - and should - be mitigated by our next Dem POTUS

I think we’ll see charges (pending Trump pardons, obviously), but I don’t think it’s going to be during this administration. That being said, I do thing Hegseth and Patel are wearing out their welcome with Trump and we’ll likely see some junk drawer (Cabinet) rearrangement soon.

I didn’t see that. That’s incredible. If a bunch of major retailers joined together to do the same, we could see real, and immediate action on the tariffs.

Trump: we’re going to keep America safe. We’re keeping the drugs out! Also Trump: pardons a guy convicted of trying to bring *hundreds of tons* of cocaine into the US.

So, to recap: Washington Post story breaks on Hegseth. Pentagon says fake news. White House confirms the story roughly 12 hours later - and defends it. Press Sec confirms that Hegseth personally ordered the execution of the two stranded men. This isn’t going well.

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.

Hegseth told soldiers under his command in Iraq to ignore legal advice about when they were permitted to kill enemy combatants under their rules of engagement. The anecdote is contained in a book Hegseth wrote last year in which he sharply disparaged the Geneva and Hague Conventions.

It’s now official: Trump has pardoned one of the world’s most notorious drug traffickers. Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández was convicted of drug trafficking last year in the U.S. and sentenced to 45 years in prison. 1/

JFC. There is a deep sickness in maga that really enjoys cruelty

I want us to hang on to the fact that the people who were murdered were just civilians out in boats, most likely fishermen, who had never even heard the sketchy conclusions of American officials for which they were executed, much less had a chance to defend themselves.

another “working from home” day…

VOLUME UP ☝️ ☝️ #NoKings

Tennessee polls close at 7 PM CT. If you’re in line when polls close, stay in line. Your vote will count. LFG!

“What part of your body was the MRI on?” Trump: no idea, but it wasn’t the brain! 90% probability MRI was on his brain. Trump also says it’s ok to release it. Journalists, do your thing.

FYI, going to do an AMA tomorrow evening, tentatively around 8 pm Eastern. Sorry for the late notice! The holiday weekend pretty much obliterated all of my plans. 😆

WELKER: His asylum was approved in April on Trump's watch. Was there a vetting process in place? NOEM: The vetting process all happened under Biden WELKER: Are you saying he wasn't vetted? NOEM: Vetting happens when they come into the country and that was completely abandoned under Biden

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:

Alina Habba’s parents emigrated to the US from Iraq citing persecution.

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

Lead NYT right now.

"If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder."

Turns out that the reminder from Congressional Democrats that members of the military shouldn’t follow illegal orders was timely. Read the details here: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

We went from a country that defended others from being invaded for their natural resources, to a country that is now threatening to invade others for their natural resources. Systems of governance are only as good as the people you elect to uphold them.

Murdering drug couriers while pardoning the head of a drug cartel doesn’t seem to advance white Supremacy but it’s extremely cruel all round. Juan Orlando Hernandez was at the center of one of the largest and most violent drug-trafficking conspiracies in the world. The psycho just pardoned him

Oh good. The wag the dog begins in earnest

people big mad at president psychomoron

Trump drops 11 points - 11 points! - in the past month in Gallup. Just a staggering decline. 1/

This is a highly unusual order from a Secretary of Defense, and it’s almost certainly a war crime. In the strike in question, two people survived and were clinging to the side of the ruined boat, and a second mission was spun up to execute them.
