Awful: Trump's $230 million shakedown from DOJ can be paid to him confidentially at first, without the public ever finding out about it until later, Rep Jamie Raskin tells me.
Raskin will formally demand full communications between WH and DOJ on this.

Trump’s Vile New $230 Million Shakedown of DOJ Just Got Even Worse
It’s bad enough that Trump wants—and DOJ will likely fork over—this tribute payment. Now, get this: It can probably be done at first without even being revealed publicly.

Just a reminder: they were never actually against cancel culture. They were against the cancellation of people they agree with or like. They’ve always been enthusiastically in favor cancelling people they don’t like. If you took them at their word you’re a useful idiot.
Rand Paul: "People say, 'Oh, people have a right to say things.' Well, actually they don't necessarily have a right to say things. Many people have in their contract what we call a morals clause ... I think it is time for this to be a crackdown on people."

Taking photos and video of law enforcement officers performing their duties in public is our constitutional right.

The President of the United States is accusing an unnamed government official of deliberately falsifying official reports on crime.
That's a pretty big accusation! Certainly a scandal, maybe even a crime.
Anyone want to press him to provide some, you know, proof?

Trump on DC: "Sadly, what I guess the mayor did, but whoever it was, they asked the numbers to be fudged so they would show less crime. The fact is, it's worse than it has ever been."

Miami just canceled its November election & pushed it to 2026. No public vote, just canceled.
Mayor Suarez & Joe Carollo get to stick around an extra year.
This feels like a power grab. If one city can delay elections for “participation,” what’s to stop others from doing it to silence opposition?

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ
