So let me get this straight. Trump pardoned leaders of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys who were actually convicted of seditious conspiracy. But his lackey Jeannine Pirro tried to indict 6 Democratic lawmakers for seditious conspiracy for a video restating the obligation to refuse illegal orders.
Federal prosecutors in Washington, D.C., sought to bring charges against six Democrats for reminding U.S. military and intelligence service members via a video that they are obligated to refuse illegal orders. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
DOJ tries and fails to indict 6 Democrats over video reminding military of illegal orders
The effort was an extraordinary attempt to weaponize the criminal justice system to punish Trump’s political opponents.

Hey, Propaganda Barbie:

I read the statement in full. It is complete nonsense full of conspiracy theories. Former FBI agent Andrew McCabe - a Trump foe - paid a woman to have sex with her daughter. Virginia Giuffre was in the CIA. And James "Whitey" Bulger of Boston's Winter Hill gang was somehow involved.

It's worth noting that this video was taken by the homeowner and posted by the Spanish-language TV network Univision. The incident took place in San Antonio, TX. Here is a story from the local newspaper on the incident. Gov. Abbott is complicit in aiding ICE.

The IRS help line has been politicized. Here's the intro: "Thank you for calling the IRS ... If you are calling for information about the One Big Beautiful Bill, say One Big Beautiful Bill."
And then you must wait forever to speak to an IRS rep because Musk and Trump decimated IRS support staff.

It’s not surprising when you consider that the head writer and creator of the Dick Van Dyke Show was Carl Reiner. He based the show on his experience in the writers’ room for Sid Caesar’s Your Show of Shows that also included Mel Brooks and Neil Simon.
Watching the Dick Van Dyke show for the first time.
Of course, Van Dyke's physical comedy chops are great, but I'm surprised at how snappy the writing is as well.

The guests at the premiere of "Melania" included Cabinet members, Republican politicians and right-wing influencers. We haven't seen such an impressive guest list since the March 28, 1935, Berlin premiere of Leni Riefenstahl's "Triumph of the Will." And Hitler himself handed a bouquet to Leni.

Here are the 7 GOP senators who voted against advancing the government spending bill with DHS funding: Rand Paul, Ted Budd, Ron Johnson, Mike Lee, Ashley Moody, Rick Scott and Tommy Tuberville. The list does not include Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins and Thom Tillis. To say the least it's confusing.
