An impt report from @jessicahuseman.bsky.social and @votebeat.org The Trump regime’s politicization of what is supposed to be neutral, free and fair election administration has undercut years of productive relationship-building between states and the fed government. www.votebeat.org/2026/01/15/c...

Before you read about the FBI raid and think about how bad it is for our democracy, read about Hannah’s life this year and think about how unbelievably brutal it is for her. archive.ph/2025.12.27-1...

DOJ has occasionally claimed that it needs to search reporters' records to find the source of a security leak. But that's pretty obviously not what they were doing when they searched the Post reporter's house. They arrested a suspect days ago, after more or less catching him in the act.

Bondi statement on FBI search at Washington Post reporter’s home:

Hannah Natanson is an exceptional reporter and should never have been subjected to this type of extraordinary intimidation tactic. We have few details now, but it’s hard to interpret this as anything other than an attempt to squash the freedom of the press.

The majority of the leadership team inside Minnesota’s U.S. Attorney’s Office resigned Tuesday in protest of directives from federal officials in the wake of the killing of Renee Good, according to sources familiar with the decision.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

Even by the standards of Trump's DOJ, this one is worth a read. Always finding new and creative ways to make me say WTF.

Halligan’s response accuses the judge of “gross abuse of power,” among other things. Read the filing: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Typo alert: Describing stalled negotiations with opposing counsel in the Dan Richman case, Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward says he does not “err this grievance lightly.”

Responding to Judge Boasberg’s order to propose relief to 137 Venezuelans unlawfully sent to CECOT & then Venezuela, Secy Rubio says that addressing the issue now would cause “material damage to US foreign policy interests.” So apparently the govt's not going to.

Within a day or so of the shooting, myself, @ericcolumbus.bsky.social, and @annabower.bsky.social predicted on the Lawfare Podcast that this would be the focus of any investigation; there’s no joy in having been correct — just a growing sense of dismay.

INBOX: Former Special Counsel Jack Smith launches his own law firm alongside former Jan. 6 Committee counsel Tim Heaphy and DOJ alum David Harbach and Thomas Windom.

Will be interesting to see who suddenly cares about the president’s weaponization of the Justice Department now that it might threaten their bottom line $$$

Hard to overstate what a remarkable statement this is from a Republican senator — even a retiring one — accusing thte Trump White House of weaponizing DOJ to control the Fed: "It is now the independence and credibility of the Department of Justice that are in question."

This short statement by Jerome Powell deserves attention. He’s accusing the Trump administration of attempting to use a bogus criminal prosecution to extort compliance with White House demands to lower interest rates. Via @annabower.bsky.social

Dear god www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...

WP Editorial Board: "I don't understand why deliberately lying to knowingly perpetrate fraud is considered illegal."

I glad we have Lawfare for expert legal and national security analysis. givebutter.com/lawfare-inst...

They’re probably inclusive legal positivists

Like it's entirely fine to say "we, the board, think this shouldn't be the standard here for reasons A, B and C", but that is different to wrongly saying they /are/ the relevant standard. And even a loss on appeal in general doesn't mean the case was wrongly brought or applied prior doctrine wrongly

Prosecutor: *Accurately summarizes the law* Washington Post Editorial Board: That’s a bold claim by the prosecutor!

It’s nauseating.

They probably went to YLS

Crime is legal if you do it with words

I can't describe how bad Minneapolis feels right now. My neighbors are pulling kids out of school. The public schools are offering remote learning until 2/12. We are having conversations in our alleys about how to protect ourselves. It feels like a military occupation with a blockade.

Here’s a good explainer we @lawfaremedia.org published earlier this year (by Aaron Zelinsky, John Connolly, and David Reiser) that covers a lot of these issues. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/stat...

The Vice President of the United States has somehow reached the conclusion that this video is exculpatory.

i just watched this video and the fact that they believe this to be exculpatory is genuinely insane

I have not independently verified this footage, but it appears to be authentic. Immediately after Renee Good is shot and killed, someone off camera (presumably the ICE officer who shot her) calls her a “fucking bitch.” bsky.app/profile/anna...

Video clip of Renee Good's last words before she was murdered by Jonathan Ross who then called her a fucking bitch & left the scene of the crime.

Alpha News claims that it has obtained the cellphone video recorded by the ICE officer who shot and killed Renee Good. (Warning: Disturbing.)
