Good that the grand jury rejected this obviously illegal move to indict sitting Senators for making true statements. But horrifying that the government tried. The DOJ has been fully corrupted into a Trump propaganda arm. It will have to be rebuilt from the ground up

I'm pretty confident we wouldn't be seeing Kamala fighting to protect herself from allegations of raping children, nor her staff being dragged in front of Congress weekly for lying about raping children and murdering citizens.

BREAKING: After we sued, DHS withdrew a subpoena seeking personal information about our client who criticized DHS' treatment of a man seeking asylum.
This is a win not just for our client, but for everyone’s First Amendment right to speak out without fear of government retaliation.

Leaving the obvious racism aside for a second -- Bad Bunny has sold over 100 million albums and just won the Grammy for Best Album of the Year and these chuds are acting like he's an obscure Tuvan throat-singing act or something.

For those who might downplay the importance of due process, this should urge reconsideration.
BONUS RULING: Judge Thomas Johnston, a George W. Bush appoiintee in West Virginia, used a recent ruling to warn of the dangers of defying due process for immigrants because of what it could also mean for Americans. It's worth a read.
