Well, isn’t this exactly what you’d expect. Maurene Comey, the Manhattan federal prosecutor who helped lead the criminal cases against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, was abruptly fired today by the Trump administration.

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual

PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:

A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Every book published in the United States is sent to the Library of Congress. Also, if you are under 16 you cannot use the reading room or order books.
Reporter: The president fired the Librarian of Congress. Why? 

Leavitt: There were quite concerning things she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate books in the library for children.

A Member of Congress —who was at the facility today with the Newark mayor — told Alicia Menendez on air tonight that the Newark mayor was *invited* into the detention facility. And then when he left, ICE arrested him for trespass!

Stephen Miller serves a deranged authoritarian who thinks he is all powerful and can do whatever he wants. He is wrong. Our job as lawyers is to stand up to him and defeat him in court.

I, for one, will never bow down or seek a deal with Trump. I will stand tall and fight.

Someone in my comments said "capitulation brings no safety" and that is something we all must understand. They will crush us and kill us no matter what. The only option is to join together and stop this madness.

Find your courage, America.

Trump wants to spend $45 million for a military parade on his birthday.

How do you use a 'red card'?

Hold it up to a window, from *inside* your house.

-The side facing outward, in English, tells the authorities that you know your rights.

-The side facing inward, in Spanish, tells you how to declare those rights.
