Wow “…..The court found the directive illegible, legally unsupported, factually inaccurate and focused on race in ways that were constitutionally impermissible.

“It’s challenging to unpack the DOJ Letter because it contains so many factual, legal, and typographical errors,” the judges wrote. “

The court issues a scathing ruling today in the Comey case. Judge William Fitzpatrick notes, among other things, that Lindsey Halligan made two false statements of the law when responding to questions by grand jurors. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Saturday's Thought - I see The Felon is worried about rising prices. What is his solution? Lower the tariffs he illegally imposed and tell us - See prices are going down thanks to me. Are Americans so stupid they don't see what is going on?

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.

The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

people are being very flip about the possible harms of getting rid of the filibuster *right now* in a way that imo undermines the core case that the Republic is in special peril. it's clearly all downside until 2027 even if you grant electoral backlash! Dems can't have a trifecta until 2029!

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

This entire article points out that there is no plan. His own Treasury Secretary says he doesn’t know anything about it. So why does media keep running these kind of headlines? He keeps making these Truth Social posts and media keeps running stories as if it is something real.

Perhaps the NYT should run some articles about how the Republicans need to listen to the concerns of ordinary Democratic voters.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist
the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

NEW: I interviewed @katmabu.bsky.social for HuffPost.

We talked about free speech, ICE, political prosecution, the Trump administration’s attack on immigrants, fascists, Democrats, and yes, a bit about the indictment, too.

I hope you will read:

A Politician Was Manhandled By ICE Then Indicted — And She Says It ‘Backfired’ On Trump
“Trump wants people to be scared of immigrants and people who stand with immigrants to be scared,” said Kat Abughazaleh, a Democratic congressional candidate in Illinois’ 9th District.
