1. DHS surges 3,000 officers to Minneapolis without doing anywhere near enough prep first.
2. Hundreds of habeas cases overwhelm local courts.
3. Dozens of DOJ lawyers quit in disgust/anger.
4. The DOJ brings in JAGs to cover.
5. A JAG was just held in contempt and fined $500/day for ICE's failures.

Veterans slam new VA rule for determining disability ratings

CBS pulling @jamestalarico.bsky.social’s interview from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is alarming and nothing short of censorship. Full breakdown on my Substack page (link below).

Last year, multiple mega law firms pledged almost $1 BILLION in “pro bono” legal services to Convicted Felon Trump & his Regime.

I am demanding these firms actually show their work as I don't think they’re benefiting society, but merely helping Trump line his own pockets.

Barack Obama almost never jumps into the chaos. The fact that he’s speaking out now — repeatedly and urgently — is a warning. Something is deeply wrong. America needs to listen.

This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
