Out of the rack and ruin of our gangster death
The rape and rot of graft and stealth and lies
We the people must redeem
The land the mines the plants the rivers
The mountains and the endless plain
All, all the stretch of these great green states
Langston Hughes

Doug Jones won before & if you doubt he can do it again, you’re not paying attention to Alabama.

Tuberville has a record, but so does Jones.

If Jones jumps in, the contrast couldn’t be greater. A real Alabaman who prosecuted a KKK cold case vs Florida man who treats the state like rental property.

Absolutely outrageous that taxpayers are paying Republican political consultants millions of dollars to make hype videos for Kristi Noem’s 2028 campaign for president or VP, which is what this is all about. www.propublica.org/article/kris...

The company is run by the husband of Noem’s chief DHS spokesperson and has personal and business ties to Noem and her aides. DHS invoked the “emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rule...

Pam Bondi will not have a license to practice law when this is all over. You can’t stay a bar member and agree to investigate only members of one political party for child sexual abuse but not members of the other. And, you can’t do it after previously saying no one else could be charged.

The govt and Hannah Dugan (judge arrested in Milwaukee for disrupting an immigration arrest in what seems an aeon ago) have exchanged their limine motions. DOJ's are competently dickish in a way we used to see.

DOJ is going to arg by deferring hearing Dugan violated victim's rights.
5. Motion to preclude evidence of the defendant’s violations of laws protecting victims’ rights. In her fifth motion, the defendant moves to prohibit the United States from arguing or eliciting opinion testimony that she violated Article I, Section 9m of the Wisconsin Constitution, otherwise known as Marsy’s Law. The United States agrees that there should not be a “mini-trial” about whether the defendant violated Marsy’s Law. However, as will be explained further below in response to her ninth motion in limine, how she handled E.F.R.’s hearing, and whether it was routine or “business as usual,” is relevant to her intent. E.F.R. was charged with three counts of battery-domestic abuse. The nature of those charges necessarily implied that there were victims. Those victims were in the courtroom for E.F.R.’s hearing on April 18, 2025. The evidence at trial will demonstrate that the defendant never afforded those victims the opportunity to speak, let alone notify them that the hearing was even occurring. That omission is particularly significant because the issue of victims’ rights would have been forefront on the defendant’s mind due to the events in her courtroom that occurred earlier that same week.

Now that they’re caught and can’t cook up a secret settlement with MAGA Bondi to line their own pockets.

What a steaming pile this is.
Senators distance themselves from controversial payout provision
Only one Republican senator has public plans to sue under new legislative language House Republicans are now seeking to scrap.

Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

Why are Republicans in the House and Senate so afraid to bring Jack Smith before their committees to testify in public under oath before the American people? Isn’t that what MAGA wants? Don’t you want to “expose” him? What’s going on here?

$50 mil seems low for the leader of Qanon who used military tactics to psyop millions of Americans into turning their backs on their country and to defend a sick, twisted pedophile-protecting insurgency to coup the United States.

This isn't justice. This is a payoff.
Unforgivable.

Wild graphic on front page of WSJ.
A graphic from the front page of the WSJ, titled, "The Epstein Email Cache: 2,300 Messages, Many of Which Mention Trump." Using blue does it compares how many of the email threads released by Oversight are about various people. 1,670 are about Trump. 207 mention Michael Wolff. 155 Kathryn Ruemmler, 117 Larry Summers, and 512 Clinton.

As folks are reading Jim Ryan's letter about how Harmeet Dhillon, among others, ousted him as UVA President, worth reviewing how Eagle Ed MARTIN tried to scare Letitia James into resigning. [corrected]

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
I magine you were mortified to read — online and publicly - your recent letter to U.S. Attomey General Pam Bondi (April 24, 2025). On page 4, you make admissions about your client Letitia James’ conduct that are stunning to me. Iam Special Attorney investigating many matters including the criminal referral to which you refer in the Bondi letter. I believe that your admission regarding Letitita James’ conduct indicates that she is serious about addressing the problems presented in the referral. After all, her approval of your letter includes the admission although she likely did not expect it to be published. At this time, Letitia James would best serve the "good of the state and nation" by resigning from office to address the issues in the referral. Her resignation from office would give the people of New York and America more peace than proceeding. 1 would take this as an act of good faith. Because of your reputation for using the media to argue your points, I prefer that we communicate by letter. I find leaks like your Bondi letter professionally unacceptable and personally insulting. To that end, I specifically ask that you redouble your efforts to not leak this confidential letter. I prefer not to have to move in court to stop you or your client from leaking.
