You can be mad at Jim Comey for what he did to HRC in 2016 and also decry any potential indictment as bullshit. You can do both.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

🚨NEW: Kerry Kennedy has announced Late Show Host Stephen Colbert is the recipient of the 2025 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award for his advocacy for free speech and speaking truth to power. REPOST to congratulate Colbert on this honor!

"Every truce with Putin is temporary. Every handshake comes with fingers crossed behind the back. Every concession is pocketed and used to prepare the next aggression." He has shown us who he is many, many times.

EXCLUSIVE: Not only does an Excel spreadsheet of Trump mentions in the Epstein files exist, but so do training videos explaining how to flag the files for Trump mentions. Plus, the number of people who had access is larger than previously known. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei...

I genuinely don’t understand how people don’t understand that Trump is asking for this because he he knows it isn’t deliverable

Just bought Lawless by @leahlitman.bsky.social and The Shadow Docket by @stevevladeck.bsky.social from @bookshop.org. Two individuals who I turn to for all things SCOTUS while supporting local bookstores. Looking forward to these important reads.

... I can only find one brief (not 3) that Reuveni joined that advanced Bove’s vacuous arguments for skirting Boasberg’s orders. But that corroborates his letter. He tried his best to dutifully advance DOJ’s positions till, in the Abrego case, he could go no further. That’s integrity. /9-end

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Due to a shelter-in-place order and ongoing safety concerns following a shooting that targeted two elected officials, the No Kings protest in Northeast Minneapolis has been canceled. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the communities impacted by this horrifying violence.

🚨POLL🚨: As the administrator of the WITAOD community, I’m happy to announce that we’re *almost* ready to debut merch! But I need input from the WITAOD faithful on a question that has bitterly divided the @lawfaremedia.org team: Which would you prefer on your merch? A) WITAOD B) WITAOD? Vote!

These men are trying to kill me

Trump's tariff war could reduce the supply of Christmas toys. But deporting children could reduce the demand.

Import Chinese battery: 145% tariff Import Chinese battery inside Chinese laptop: 20% tariff Import Chinese battery inside Vietnamese laptop: 0% tariff Fuckin brilliant. A+ work here team. I am so glad there are such smart people working on our trade policy.

It warms my civ-pro-professor heart.

This is the just the beginning

San Diego. This lady for the win.

Protest just getting started here in Chicago.

We are thrilled that we have surpassed the $20K mark and have had over 400 people contribute to TPFA5 so far! (thank you @rexparker.bsky.social for the shout-out on your blog over the weekend 🙏) fund.nnaf.org/tpfa

Some questions that Mike Waltz and the others must answer: 1) How did he preserve the thread and others for PRA 2) What phones were everyone using 3) What kind of security do those phones have 4) WHERE were they using those phones 5) What else is on the phones 6) Why was Joe Kent included

Id just like to point out as far as the whole Venezuela deportation thing goes, that if the dictator of El Salvador respects the rule of law enough in returning those abducted who don't meet the criteria for their detention, what does that say about our own government for deporting them?

The only fair way to handle this is to appoint a team of teenagers to tear this company limb from limb until we find out what kind of financial damage they are hiding and where

You CANNOT have criminal justice w/o shared norms about law. What Trump did, starting in 2018, was to destroy those norms. Until you restore them, any attempt to pursue justice will create civil war. That said, you don't get out of this problem until you win over those Trump converted.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Starting a new thread called: The oldest elected president in US history has lost his mind, and it's insane that the media isn't talking about it every day like it did with Joe Biden.

@propublica.org reporter Brett Murphy with an explosive scoop. This is insanity.

Is this how Trump is fighting human trafficking?

😅

I just wanna congratulate @meidastouch.com for beating Joe Rogan, and thank them for recommending my Substack. Indie media FTW! Check theirs out here: www.meidasplus.com

Just want to point out that illegally firing civil servants on the pretext of "saving money" will actually cost the taxpayer MORE money based on statute....the taxpayer will owe legal fees to those employees who are fired illegally and file suit.

Something that has gone largely unmentioned in the Eric Adams case: one of Adams' co-conspirators is already before Judge Dale Ho, and the other is about to be. 🤔 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

The Chiefs can still be named Super Bowl champions if Mike Pence has the courage.

A serious proposal: If the Trump administration is going to neglect and eliminate entire US Government functions, Democrats should select a full shadow cabinet to fill the void. Send an alt SecState to the G20, have an alt CDC Director let us know what’s really going on with Bird Flu and TB, etc.

I for one, am grateful to have a Fox News host with zero administrative experience, a drinking problem, and who is accused of multiple sex crimes in charge of the armed forces when my son is drafted for the wars in Greenland and Panama.

If Jack Smith provided new information on Trump's premeditation to call for violence in the middle of the election and no one noticed, whose fault is that? www.emptywheel.net/2025/01/07/l...
