Saddened by the passing of Robert Duvall today.
Beyond being an iconic talent, he was an incredibly kind and interesting person. Big LEO supporter & conservationist.
During my time on Capitol Hill, I spent time with him & his wonderful wife. Oh the stories he’d tell!
RIP Bobby!

Is an ICE Detention center coming to a small town near you? Many local Republicans aren’t happy about this.

Plus, the KY & TX Senate races are heating up.

Will discuss at 1:15pm on MSNOW.
Tune in.

Pirro should be impeached just for attempting to get an indictment against members of Congress for speech.

Her incompetence is actually useful right now because it negates her malevolence.

Great work here by @wbaidlaw.bsky.social to expose Gabbard for the liar she is.
What else is she lying about?
According to DNI Gabbard, she didn't see our Whistleblower complaint until two weeks ago yet ICIG - whom she praises - told our @wbaidlaw.bsky.social client last June 2025 that DNI was provided complete submission.

So which is the truth?

This is why our client needs to speak w/Congress.

Every Democratic senator should be saying this every day and every time
Homan’s name is brought up.
We can’t have someone enforcing the law who isn’t even following the law himself. The American people deserve to know if Tom Homan took $50k from an FBI undercover agent and what he did with the money.

Rep. Lieu demands Deputy AG Todd Blanche be fired: "Yesterday, he said essentially that it is not a crime to party with Jeffrey Epstein. If Jeffrey Epstein was human trafficking minors for these sex parties, and you show up and patronize the establishment at that party, yes, you're guilty.”

Pay attention.
The Department of Justice has demanded voter files from nearly every state and is suing those that refuse — despite states’ authority over voter rolls and elections. Here's what you need to know:

Attia is an abomination.
The newest “star” contributor for CBS News offered justifications—riddled with contradictions—in a statement regarding his once-close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Self-Pitying CBS Star Tries to Explain Away Epstein Shame
The new “star” contributor said he ignored Epstein’s past, dazzled by his mansions, lifestyle, and powerful connections.

🚨BREAKING: Don Lemon arrested by Trump’s DOJ

The Trump admin is snatching people off the streets.
Killing protestors
Threatening invasion of allies
Seizing ballots.

And now arresting journalists.

This is Trump’s America.
THIS IS HOW DEMOCRACY DIES.
Are we going to just let him destroy us?

Every Democrat should be framing Kristi Noem’s behavior just like this.

I would add “and our tax dollars are paying for this.”
Gallego: I think it's ridiculous that Kristi Noem just went out right away and basically called this poor victim, a violent terrorist. That right there is impeachable. She lied about a citizen to justify his murder. The president should ask for her resignation.

This is the way!
Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands….

Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

I serve on Board of Directors of Center of Ethics & Rule of Law at UPENN's Law School and participated in this exercise back in October 2024. The results were not only of grave concern but disturbingly prescient of what we are now witnessing in real time.
