DOJ personnel don’t comment on anything beyond the four corners of a charging document in order to avoid prejudicing a defendant’s rights. Here’s the policy. The Attorney General of the United States violated it yesterday.

Say hello to our baby meerkats! Moms Keeya and Naledi recently welcomed litters of four each, and they’re adorable. 🥰

Keeya’s curious little explorers are starting to pop out in the Kids’ Zone meerkat habitat, while Naledi’s crew is still snuggled up behind the scenes.

King Donald has appointed himself as Chief Rabbi of the United States so he can issue halachic decrees about who is a Jew.
Just the Unitary Executive deciding who's a Jew.
No biggie.
Donald Trump: "Schumer is a Palestinian as far as I am concerned. He has become a Palestinian. He used to be Jewish. He is not Jewish anymore. He is a Palestinian."

On the same day Donald Trump is using his time & our federal property to do ads for expensive cars made by his billionaire sidekick, he's stopping low-income students and families from being fed.

If you still think he cares about working families instead of the rich, you are too stupid for words.
Trump freezes $1 billion in food aid given to local schools and food banks to help low-income families

For International Women's Day, let's remember Lydia Litvyak, AKA "The White Rose of Stalingrad." She was a young Jewish girl who loved to fly and, as a fighter pilot during WW2, became the first woman ace despite flying an obsolete Yak 1B and is credited with 13 solo kills and 6 shared kills.
