One wonders if these people even understand the fire they are so carelessly playing with.

This is such a cowardly, weak statement. “to demonstrate this case is being handled free from political interference”? Does Sen Murkowski believe we are all idiots? The SOLE reason the case even *is* a case is because of political interference!

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

I had a hearing in this grand old courtroom today. Really did feel a bit like Atticus Finch. @cookiegma.bsky.social

This was awesome.

China has not bought a single soybean from the U.S. in over 3 months, thanks to Trump's disastrous tariffs. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/09/28/soybeans-sacrificed-in-trumps-china-gamble-00583232?utm_content=politico/magazine/Politics&utm_source=flipboard

While we don’t know what will happen this prediction strikes me as quite reasonable and likely.

Which way, Christian?

Unbelievable throw and catch!

Now armed federal agents are walking around the Bean and the Gold Coast. This is all peacocking, a show for no other purpose than intimidation. And they don't have the guts to even show their faces. blockclubchicago.org/2025/09/28/a...

These “officers” are running roughshod over the Constitution and the rights of all people. They are in effect the criminals.

George Hardy, last of the Tuskegee Airmen's World War II combat pilots, dies at 100

One of Trump’s own former attorneys….

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting: Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial 100%

ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!

"...the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it’s actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message.... 1/2

Statement from The Atlantic’s editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg:

Chris Wray is as honorable a person as you’ll find. This is off the rails. But of course I repeat myself.

For Pete’s sake when will any Republican find the freaking balls to stand up and say “enough!”

It’s hard to think of anyone as insane as Trump but Stephen Miller just might be the one.

I feel like we are living in the "ten years before the setting of a Cormac McCarthy novel."

Gopher tortoises on our place. The Georgia state reptile, they thrive in the sandy pine woods of South Georgia.

One year ago today.

This is nuts.

This is so far beyond the pale. Its only purpose is to stoke division. These agents are people with families to feed. They are fired for what? For showing some empathy with citizens who were protesting for a more just society?

This president is completely out of control.

DOWN GOES FSU.

Friday night lights in South Georgia. One of my favorite things. 🏈🏈

Attention all human beings: Be prepared to order when you get to the drive thru. This is not the time to debate what you want, ask a bunch of questions, or otherwise dilly dally. WE ARE ALL WAITING IN LINE BEHIND YOU. 😂😎

A thread.

This is a thoughtful, well written report. As always the death penalty is an issue on which I’m torn. www.cbsnews.com/news/alabama...

Don’t live on your knees.

Whatever Comey did to HRC (handing Trump the 2016 election) has NOTHING to do w/this outrage. Hate him ‘til your last breath. It’s your right. But this man did NOT break the law. He did NOT lie to Congress. This is blatant political persecution - which means ANY of us could be next.

BREAKING Troy Edwards, James Comey’s son-in-law, has resigned from the Department of Justice. Edward’s as a prosecutor in the same office that just indicted his father-in-law.

Former FBI Director Jim Comey indicted, even after career prosecutors thought there wasn’t enough evidence to move forward. A president ordering prosecution of whomever he perceives as his political enemies is a dark turning point in America. Pray for your children.

Lindsay Halligan is a disgrace to the Bar. May her name live in infamy.

The United States of America - the dream of Jefferson, Lincoln, MLK - is now locked in a battle for its very survival. There will be a country called the US but unless MAGA is utterly politically destroyed the dream of America will be over.

What's to stop a future president from prosecuting him in a sham trial and imprisoning him, regardless of the "presidential immunity"? If that president is immune for official acts, wouldn't they be allowed to break the "law" established by that SCOTUS precedent? That case leads to full lawlessness

The immunity decision (Trump v. US) shook my faith in the law to the core and we are now starting to see the rotten fruit of that historically terrible decision.

With all of this, I have a question: What does Donald Trump want? I mean deep down what is it that he truly desires? What would satisfy him? He’s tearing our country apart. To what end? (I have my theory but I want to know what you all think)

Every day brings news that only the most imaginative dystopian fiction writers could invent. Yet, it is all real. abcnews.go.com/Politics/heg...

In all the deluge of news this is still the one to me - that might eventually bring Trump down. I agree he has essentially committed murder.

I’m spreading the gospel of local Georgia based artist Cody Marlowe. If y’all like, say, Drew Holcomb or similar go listen to his new album Fever. It’s on Spotify etc. Love this guy’s songwriting. No he doesn’t know me or pay me. 😂

Agree! 😀

I agree.

Amidst all the bad news we hear let me share some good news. The Georgia Court of Appeals made the long trip down from Atlanta to Valdosta to hold oral arguments in our beautifully restored historic courthouse today. I would guess close to a 100 students came out in addition to many other citizens.

We do not have a president, nor a Department of Justice. We have a dictator (a soft dictator, but consolidating power by the day) and his flunkies. As an attorney I am utterly ashamed. And frankly angry as hell at anyone who took the same oath I did and goes along with this.

Got my 8 hours billable time in. Now the Rapture ™️ can come.

Mockery is good. 👍
