Excellent reporting by @reuters.com about the unprecedented number of legal errors and other blunders in #DOJ legal filings under Pam Bondi, leading to the dismissal of numerous cases. #legal #law #arrests #court #PamBondi

Unprecedented errors are eroding the credibility of Trump's Justice Department
In years past, it was relatively rare for a federal court to question the Justice Department's competency or good faith. But such questions are becoming more common.

#Trump posted THIS crap in response to the tragic murder of Rob and Michelle Reiner. Many #MAGA supporters objected and begged #POTUS to delete this from his #TruthSocial account. As of 5 minutes ago, it's still there even though police have arrested #NickReiner. #RobReiner #MichelleReiner #murder
Screenshot of Donald Trump's post in reaction to the murder of Rob and Michelle Reiner. Screenshot taken slightly before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, May 15, 2025. His post reads: "A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS. He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!" This was posted earlier in the day by President Donald j Trump.
