A man who screamed “Kill ’em!” at police during the January 6 riot now works for the Department of Justice. And the DOJ says they “appreciate his contributions.”

If you’re not chilled by that, you’re not paying attention.

He called Capitol police “Nazis” and screamed “Kill ’em!” Now he’s working at the Department of Justice.

This move could have a chilling effect, discouraging firms from taking on cases that challenge the administration. Such pressure threatens a core principle of the U.S. legal system: the right to legal representation for all.

Legal counsel representing federal employees is now being targeted by the Trump administration. Law firms are receiving a clear message that retaliation is possible for those advocating on behalf of individuals or groups opposing the administration’s agenda.

Zelensky is a hero and far more popular than either Trump or Vance. This is an embarrassing scandal for the White House that GOP members of congress should be forced to answer for as well.
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?

VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

We need to learn and adapt. Every single Senate Dem vote for Rubio. It got us nothing. "Rollover and play dead" got us nothing. Fight back or lose the democracy. Full stop.

Every single one. . .
I say again: any Republican in congress with an ounce of integrity would switch parties immediately. They are complicit, sadistic cowards. Every single one.

I’m so glad he didn’t sign the deal. He wouldn’t have gotten anything from Trump anyway.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Zelenskyy left White House without signing US-Ukraine critical minerals deal Trump had demanded.

Moreover they’d already bullied Zelensky into agreeing to sign their nonsense mineral rights agreement, but they’re greedy little goblins and they wanted to be seem rubbing his nose in the dirt on live tv too
one thing thats bizarre is that this was very clearly a planned ambush of zelensky, but to what end? supporting ukraine and opposing russia are *extremely* popular. its not only awful but its bad politics for an admin in an increasingly fraught position

The mistake is to think Zelensky could have salvaged this. Trump admin just doesn’t want to support Ukraine. Period. There was also never going to be a peace agreement. That’s been clear but everyone has been pretending otherwise. There can be no confusion now.

People need to understand that we are in an entirely new paradigm. It is now Russia the US against Ukraine and Europe. This is not a shift in US policy, it is a transformation of what kind of country the United States is in the world

It was very very clearly an ambush
Intentionally or unintentionally, the White House doing stuff like this is going to leave the impression that was an ambush, which might do even more damage to America's international reputation than what just unfolded.
