What is it with well known celebrities and politicians "apologizing" for their interactions with a convicted sex offender, Jeffery Epstein? They are sorry that they are caught. Hypocrites, one and all. They are a "sorry" bunch.

Good.
"In a system where acquittals are statistical outliers, experts say the federal public defender’s office’s recent wins raise questions about prosecutorial decision-making and the credibility of cases being brought."

Yep.
ALL of this.
1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

The Constitution gives states control over elections. Trump says states are just "agents" of the federal government and the feds should "take over."

I don’t consider the Bill of Rights “unrealistic.”
Here's what Republicans think is "unrealistic"

1) Need a judicial warrant to enter private property
2) Require verification that someone is not a US citizen before sending them to immigration detention
3) No masks
4) No secret police: Officers must have ID
5) Keep enforcement away from
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Thursday that demands made by Democrats for new restrictions on federal immigration officers are “unrealistic” and warned that the Department of Homeland Security will shut down next week if they do not work with Republicans and the White House.

This is truly incredible.

Shakespeare speaking to RIGHT NOW—on the “mountainish” inhumanity of punishing and casting out strangers from your country.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

The decision comes as advocates say the justification for the Jan. 3 military action contradicts the claim that Venezuela is safe enough to end TPS.

When we run we win. Run the table.
A noteworthy takeaway from tonight's Texas result is that the Republicans spent a metric truckload of money on this race. They spent millions more than the Democrats. The loss itself aside, this is a gigantic, flashing warning sign for the GOP's finances.

ICE doesn’t de-escalate, it escalates, then runs.

🚨ICE agent pepper-sprays woman after shoving her. Totally unnecessary. Santa Barbara police and paramedics showed up to clean up the mess. ICE already fled the scene.

If you turn away from what's happening and have ANY political power, you've made your choice.

You're supporting the killing and kidnapping of innocent people.

And people around the US -- and the world -- are bearing witness.
Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

I know that we can't look to Governor Newsom. He spends $$$ the State doesn't have backtracks on his promises, does a lot af grandstanding. Pete Buttigieg, get on board. You are needed.

He is a master at keeping folks off base, dazed and confused. Probably works well for his personal pocketbook. Not so hot for the nation. Or our friends, for that matter.
