If the Democrats retake Congress this must be on the priority list of legislative initiatives.
Yes, Trump will veto it. But signing this bill must be a campaign issue for any 2028 Dem candidate.

These congressmen want to give you the right to sue federal law enforcement for violating your rights
The proposed bills aim to codify a 1971 Supreme Court ruling that allowed individuals to sue the feds for Fourth Amendment violations.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

Nothing to see here, just a right wing hyper-nationalist government going to their party’s youth event sponsored by a group with a martyred leader they’ve pledged to avenge, recruiting people to join their masked police force devoted to removing auslanders from ze homeland.

So. Much. Error.
Kind of darkly funny that the government's defense of the well thought out plan for Trump's bigly beautiful ballroom looks like this

Epstein “alleged” in emails that Trump knew or that Trump was there?

No @nytimes.com. He “wrote” or “said.”

His emails and his statements are not pleadings or indictments.

Can you please do democracy a solid and report accurately and without shading?

We will starve hungry Americans. We will cripple our transportation network. We will occupy American cities. We will kidnap people and disappear them.

We will do anything and everything so that everyone forgets about the Epstein files and that the president is a pedophile.

LinkedIn just told me I should follow Bari Weiss. What I take from that is that I should delete my LinkedIn profile.

Today, it’s a cause for celebration. But I’m old enough to remember when going en banc in the Ninth Circuit was a bad thing. (It was just after the dinosaurs.)

W00t!
JUST IN: 9th Circuit temporarily reinstates Judge Immergut's 1st TRO blocking solely Trump's Oregon National Guard deployment. Both TROs now in effect (CA/TX too). 9th to decide on en banc by Tuesday. Move undercuts DOJ's bid to lift 2nd TRO but court says no msg on merits.

This guy has been through it. He worked with us after he got out of prison and as this was unfolding.

He’s brilliant and clear eyed.

He will never get back the time he lost. But I know he will be a fearless lawyer on the side of people.

Kristi Noem is in PDX today.
She brings the cameras w/ her and is desperate to incite Americans to do things she can film and edit into propaganda vids.
Do not give her what she wants.
The regime is frantic to manufacture a riot. Do not give them what they want.
