I don't know if non-lawyers understand how insane this statement is. I honestly can't think of anything remotely comparable in non-lawyer speak. I guess the closest would be a surgeon saying "Imagine if I had to wash my HANDS before doing surgery!"

"Imagine if we had to go through the process of getting a judicial warrant"

Putin just disrespected Trump by unleashing one of the most relentless attacks on Ukraine in this entire war, right after Trump publicly claimed he got Putin to agree not to attack.

And she has the guts to call Biden weak? Seriously?
Q: Trump said Putin agreed to halt attacking Ukraine bc of the cold, but today we're seen Russia launching heavy attacks. What's your reaction?

LEAVITT: I spoke with the president and his reaction was unfortunately unsurprised. These are two countries that have been engaged in a very brutal war.

Trump lost the 2020 election, never accepted it, and has spent years trying to bend institutions to validate a lie.

Trump cannot move on, cannot tell the truth, and cannot stop dragging the country through his personal grievances.

He’s on a perpetual campaign against reality.

And today the Treasury Department told me it wouldn't expedite processing of a FOIA for the agreement allowing Qatar to hold the money because it couldn't identify an immediate public interest.

To help out Treasury: It rhymes with corruption. It's also spelled the same as corruption.
SHAHEEN: It's been reported that the oil sold for $500 million and $300 million went to Venezuelan government. What happened to the other $200 million?

RUBIO: It's still sitting in the account is my understanding

SHAHEEN: The account in Qatar?

RUBIO: Yes

What the rest of the country needs to know is those days don’t exist in Minnesota right now. Every single day we hear about them terrorizing one of our neighbors, tear gassing the helpers, and driving around our city like maniacs

1. The most extreme anti-trans bill ever proposed is currently rocketing through the Kansas legislature.

It would empower bounty hunters to search for trans people in bathrooms, even in private businesses, and sue them for large sums of money.

The House is voting on it today.

The bill, which is racing through the Kansas legislature, stands a significant chance of passing the Senate.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

What Trump said about allied soldiers is nothing new. He’s always been envious of people who had courage because he has always been a coward. Demeaned McCain & POWs, Gen Kelly confirmed he called DDay KIA troops “suckers & losers”, said he always wanted to “win” a Purple Heart.

The parents of a 7 year old, all of whom are in the process of applying for asylum, took their daughter to the ER when her nose wouldn't stop bleeding. ICE picked them up near the hospital and they are now in detention in Texas, presumably awaiting deportation. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...
