Opinion | Don’t call Trump’s Alaska summit a mediation
Trump seems bent on trying to shape the outcome of Russia’s war in Ukraine to Putin’s advantage. Call this summit what you will, but it's not "mediation."

Leaked chart, dropped by Politico, shows winners and losers in California’s redistricting—AKA retribution—and I’m here for it. 👀
This wouldn’t even be on the table if Trump and Texas Republicans weren’t trying to steal seats from Black and Brown communities. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Even as militant racism, MAGAism is nonsensical. When despicable bigots aim to try to “prove” the inferiority of women/nonwhites, you expect them to scour the US for unimpeachably decorated white men and (usually falsely) boast their CVs are X% “better.” Instead they keep hiring unremarkable jokers!
They just unilaterally replaced DC's black woman police chief with a white MAGA man

Note that sandwich guy was charged via criminal complaint, not indictment.
For now, that allows the government to initiate the case & arrest him.
But DOJ will eventually have to seek an indictment by grand jury.
He’s charged w/ a felony & the 5th Amendment requires indictment by GJ in such cases.

BREAKING: Federal prosecutors said today they went to a grand jury twice to indict a D.C. woman for assaulting an FBI agent during an arrest by ICE — and were twice rejected.
Notably, she faces the same charge as the District's alleged sandwich thrower.

Jesus. Pam Bondi just purported to replace the DC police chief and revoke guidance from earlier today that instructed police to continue to comply with DC’s sanctuary laws — laws duly passed by our city council, elected by our voters.
Even more radical than we’d feared.
