It’s striking how many of the most mundane features of American democracy, built centuries ago to protect against remembered tyrants from centuries prior, are still the bulwark against Trumpian fascism, while all the newfangled modern institutions simply collapsed on first contact with him
JUST IN: Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Snell just confirmed, at the prodding of U.S. Magistrate Judge Keri Holleb Hotaling, that this motion for dismissal followed a "no bill" from a grand jury.
That means the grand jury refused to indict.

U.S. prosecutors in Chicago are dropping another case tied to Operation Midway Blitz, "without prejudice."
It's USA v. Nathan Griffin. Below is the motion, followed by excerpts from the complaint.
The feds don't say why they're dropping it, but they had until today to secure an indictment.

"Blowback" is always a weakass word choice. Here, it's especially bad. To the extent it means anything, it's attached to some incitement: "Blowback for ___."
What's the incitement here? Cracking jokes about the President? We have better words for that kind of blowback.

Elevating the question of motive is an obscene moral failing. Is there any chance his motive will be persuasive or comprehensible? Is anyone in 2025 curious about it in a non-lurid way?

Here's a great example of how big-media "centrism" is a synthetic voice representing zero actual people. The sources in this story are either appalled by this raid or thrilled by it. No one is "uneasy."

Our college frosh reports that a classmate wrote "jurassically" instead of "drastically" in an assignment and I'm in irons trying to figure out if it's the worst or best thing I've heard this morning.

The crime is turning their political theater into slapstick.
No jury in DC will convict this guy.
The DC sandwich guy has been charged with assault for shouting at a CBP officer, throwing a sub into his chest, and then running off.
"I did it. I threw the sandwich," he said while he was being processed.

By promising to "end" violent crime in DC, Trump is again setting up the logic game where you can't point out his lie without implicitly making his case for him.
