Since I was young, Russia was always, if not our enemy, at least the antithesis to the American beliefs of freedom of speech, religion and political affiliation.
It seems that years ago the GOP, in their greed, invited Russian oligarchs to subversively take over America.

YES!! WTG Seattle!!! 👏👏👏 Another Woman wins!!!
Katie Wilson elected Seattle’s next mayor
Wilson took a 1,976-vote lead over Bruce Harrell. With a maximum of 1,320 ballots remaining, it is mathematically impossible for Harrell to catch up.

Verizon will begin the largest layoffs in its history next week, cutting 15,000 workers. But at least they can legally say Merry Christmas again.

"It's certainly the most corrupt provision authorizing financial self-dealing and plunder of the public passed by Congress in this century."

You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

Tomorrow I tell a room full of judges that originalism in any form should not be used in separation of powers cases and in fact is not being used in separation of powers cases, and judges should be transparent about all that.
That’s all.
Wish me luck :).

So.. Leavitt says Trump is 100% innocent, the Democrats are using the "hoax" to bury the vote to reopen the government, and this is the most transparent administration in history.
Well, there is one sure way to PROVE everything she's saying. Release the Epstein Files. Prove his innocence.

This is odd, it looks like the DOJ skipped suing Texas entirely. The Justice Department is now suing California over the new congressional district boundaries that voters approved just last week, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday in a post on X. Who are they going to sue, the voters?

Just left Comey/James hearing on Halligan’s appointment. Judge Currie skeptical. Said AG Bondi could not have ratified what H did after reviewing grand jury minutes because Bondi didn’t even possess complete record at time. Ruling by Thanksgiving.
