BREAKING: Judge Boasberg says "justice requires" him to continue contempt inquiry into Trump admin. “I certainly intend to find out what happened on that day,” Boasberg said of the March 15 Alien Enemies Act flights. He plans to begin hearings on Dec. 1. New, at Law Dork:

I think there's a decent chance that the Pope visits Chicago during this presidency and while there asks to see Broadview and I wonder how that plays out.

This should be a given. Why the hell would they think they would be privileged to do insider trading without repercussions? Anyone who did this should immediately be charged, just like us. Where the hell are the morals and ethics? This shouldn’t even have to be heard. Such corruption.

Why a special election in Tennessee is suddenly generating unexpected attention That Republicans are having to spend money in a district that Trump won by 22 points should alarm GOP incumbents everywhere. Read in MS NOW: apple.news/AQj0q5HOJR_y... 👉Tennessee Voters, Heads up!!!!

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.

I posted Trump’s unhinged screed announcing he’s signed the Epstein files but it contains so many lies that I deleted my post and will just tell you that Trump announced on social media he has signed the Epstein files

I’m pretty sure he copies and pastes that second shot onto whatever daily DARVO bullshit he’s slinging

Mike Johnson claims the Epstein files can’t be released unredacted because they contain intelligence-agency material that falls under national security. ✅ Reality check: Jeffrey Epstein was a civilian, with no government contracts, nothing he did should ever be considered classified.

The entrepreneurs who are part of the booming school safety industry face a cruel irony: they are dependent on the uniquely American epidemic of school shootings.

It was Miami Herald local reporter Julie Brown @jkbjournalist.bsky.social who actually covered the Epstein story and blew it wide open. She cared about the victims and Epstein's crimes, not access. National outlets not only didn't, they refused to. They thought it was tawdry and beneath them.

TN-07, you’ve got one week left to vote early for @aftynbehn.bsky.social!

Meiselas this past Monday: Halligan says the grand jury rejected the 3-count indictment, so she brought back a 2-count version they supposedly approved, but that part is missing from the transcript. Judge Currie warned the grand jury may never have seen it. If true, that’s criminal.

The Office of Management and Budget’s director, Russell Vought, is the mastermind behind the administration’s pocket rescissions strategy which involves a request from the president to withhold money already appropriated by Congress. www.notus.org/congress/mar...

Epstein survivor Haley Robson refutes Mike Johnson: "The survivors that don't want to be public are Jane Does. They've been protected and their names have been redacted the whole time ... I don't care if my name is redacted is not."

Todd Blanche always looks like he just shit his pants and is deliberating next steps

“Roberts has been embedding white-dominant authoritarianism into the country’s source code for two decades. It’s impossible to imagine today’s crisis without the Roberts court having first undermined the foundations of our democracy.” This all on the leader of the MAGA #scotus ↘️

Um, we already know they recommended not charging Comey. We know this because Donald Trump fired the US Attorney who made that recommendation and then inserted an unqualified Glamour Shots model to bring the indictment, even though she's never prosecuted a case.

BREAKING: Prosecutors in the Comey case just told the judge that they’re under orders from the Deputy Attorney Generals’s office not to disclose whether career prosecutors wrote a memo recommending *against* indicting Comey prior to Halligan going to the grand jury.

NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court. Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

White cop. shocking.

NEW: ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions. Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her.

THE SAUDI MONSTER WHO CARVED UP AN AMERICAN JOURNALIST GOT A WARMER WELCOME THAN ANY DEMOCRATIC ALLY: Trump rolled out a full military spectacle for the Crown Prince whose the CIA says approved the dismemberment of WAPO journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Jets. Cannons. Horses. A billionaire-packed dinner ⬇️

"Even Donald Trump is not immune to the physics of politics, which is that a lame-duck leader is going to start to see people abandon him.” https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/trumps-grip-on-republicans-shows-first-signs-of-slipping-794e3c51?mod=author_content_page_1_pos_1

Khanna: "The speaker looked frazzled last night. I think he's totally lost it. He's attacking the bill and he's not showing up to hear the survivors. The survivors wanted this bill. Then he's voting for a bill he criticized. And he's lost the confidence of half the people in his own caucus."

What the actual fuck. Do you think she can hear herself?

Congressman Jared Moskowitz just brilliantly trolled Kristi Noem by reading aloud from her memoir about the time she murdered her dog — and he did it during a markup for a bill about deporting migrants for harming animals.

UNREAL. Former White House aide Sarah Hurwitz warned Holocaust education was “confusing” young people into sympathizing with “weak, skinny Palestinians” instead of “powerful Israelis.” And she said this on camera and in public! www.mediaite.com/politics/ex-...

Trump strutted misogyny onstage and too many in that press room let him. A wannabe fascist king performing for a real one while women doing their jobs were thrown to the wolves. Silence is cowardice. And we’re done letting cowards set the standard. F*ck the patriarchy.

New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

John Roberts once promised to be like an umpire. He charmed both senators and the media, and for 20 years, was portrayed as a moderate institutionalist. But today, it's become clear that the promise was a lie. We are watching a rigged game, and Roberts set it up.

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not just the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

AOC: Trump has been saying the economy is booming, but it’s really only seven tech companies. They’re driving this growth in just one sector: AI. So the entire economic growth can be tracked down to seven companies and their AI expansion…

AOC: Should this AI bubble pop, we should not be entertaining a bailout of these corporations while healthcare is being denied to Americans and SNAP is being denied to Americans —

Epstein’s brother has said this repeatedly

#GVerse #KingResist #Unite #FBaRmy Kristi Noem has told everyone that there are no U.S citizens being detained or deported & that’s a Blatant Lie like most of what comes out of her mouth. This is just a very short list of U.S. citizens that have been detained since January.

Very important for people to read this portion of the Epstein Files Transparency Act so you understand 1) why Mike Johnson was so upset today, and 2) what is NOT permitted to be redacted by the DOJ.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Jared Kushner advised Saudi Crown Prince MBS on how to “weather the storm” after his hit squad slaughtered American journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Human brains produce new ideas every second of every day. Sit down with a tiny child and ask them to explain something they're doing and you will hear half a dozen of them. Ideas are what humans *do*. The idea is by far the easiest part of any creative process.

Does he even own a suit?

Not satisfied with merely filing a motion with the Supreme Court to avoid paying SNAP benefits The Trump administration is implementing changes pursuant to the Big Ugly Bill to deprive 3 million Americans of food assistance You can simply never underestimate the callousness of this government

This is Scotty. He is not chasing his own tail's shadow. If you'll notice, he actually has it cornered. 13/10 (TT: lifewithscotty)

ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Minnesota for soliciting sex from a minor

📌NOTE: There's no newsroom guidance I'm aware of that says journalists have to just sit there and take it when an ill-bred slob, and convicted felon calls them "piggy" and shrugs off the brutal killing of one of their colleagues by simply saying, "things happen."

If ICE agents can’t operate without masks and no IDs, maybe the problem isn’t California, it’s whatever you’re trying to hide. 📌 The Trump administration is suing California over its new laws banning ICE from hiding behind masks and forcing them to show IDs while they run operations in the state.

heard it be going down in that spot

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

“A portion of the FBI’s New Orleans field office has been designated as a command post, while a naval base five miles south of the city will store vehicles, equipment and thousands of pounds of ‘less lethal’ munitions.” Our cities are becoming training grounds for the Trump regime’s paramilitary.
