I would say more broadly that as policy you really shouldn’t allow government officials to accuse people of *terrorism* anonymously.

One of the reasons Democrats should start publicly drawing up plans to hold people and institutions accountable NOW is that you need to give people at least some reason to think that collaboration will be punished and resistance will be rewarded.

congratulations to john roberts who is as responsible for the current state of affairs as any single person in the country
NEW STATEMENT FROM CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS:
"For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose."

This might be the most nakedly corrupt document I’ve seen on DOJ letterhead — and I wrote a history of Watergate!
“You are directed … to dismiss the pending charges in United States v. Adams, No. 24 Cr. 556 (SDNY)…. The Justice Department has reached this conclusion without assessing the strength of the evidence or the legal theories on which the case is based”
![Memorandum from the Acting Deputy Attorney General
Dismissal Without Prejudice of Prosecution of Mayor Eric Adams
Page 2
Of The Federal Government. These actions and the underlying case have also improperly interfered with Mayor Adams' campaign in the 2025 mayoral election. See Justice Manual § 9-
85.500, entitled Actions that May Have an Impact on an Election.
Second, the pending prosecution has unduly restricted Mayor Adams' ability to devote full attention and resources to the illegal immigration and violent crime that escalated under the policies of the prior Administration. We are particularly concerned about the impact of the prosecution on Mayor Adams' ability to support critical, ongoing federal efforts "to protect the American people from the disastrous effects of unlawful mass migration and resettlement," as described in Executive Order 14165.' Accomplishing the immigration objectives established by President Trump and the Attorney General is every bit as important—if not more so as the objectives that the prior Administration pursued by releasing violent criminals such as Viktor Bout, the "Merchant of Death."? Accordingly, based on these additional concerns that are distinct from the weaponization problems, dismissal without prejudice is also necessary at this time.
' Your Office correctly noted in a February 3, 2025 memorandum, *as Mr. Bove clearly stated to defense counsel during our meeting [on January 31, 2025], the Government is not offering to exchange dismissal of a criminal case for Adams's assistance on immigration enforcement."
2 According to an October 2024 Wall Street Journal article, Bout has already started to participate in arms deals again, including negotiations with representatives of Ansar Allah, also known as the Houthis. https://www.wsj.com/world/russia/putins-merchant-of-death-is-back-in-](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:on5oeywiqx32fh2zau473wz6/bafkreidtbdebawe7yluohx6ktbosdjqfdcf7ukryaemdjtgcpygzklaefe@jpeg)

Apparently there’s a “kickoff” meeting between the DOGE people and Department of Labor management planned for tomorrow at 4pm ET.
Unrelatedly, the Frances Perkins Building that houses the Dept of Labor is located at 200 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20210.

Housing is not expensive because of economic inequality or concentrated corporate power.
Housing is expensive because we do not have enough homes in the places people want to live; and we do not have enough homes because 50 years ago we decided that it should be harder to build dense housing there.

The people colluding to create housing shortages in order to jack up the price of homes and rent are mostly single family homeowners, not nefarious corporate actors; and they’re doing it in public at your local planning commission, not in smoke-filled conference rooms or whatever.
