Last week the Trump administration removed two national holidays, MLK’s birthday and Juneteenth) as free entry days to National Parks. Trump decreed that…his birthday would be a free day instead.

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

Awful to hear of the tragic destruction in Portland. It must be really terrible to have to call out troops to this war-ravaged state. Can they protect and rebuild the devastation? No pix/video seen so can some be sent to help us know what supplies to send for the victims of this horrible tragedy?

The key is that it was Halligan ALONE, with a number of DOJ lawyers refusing to go along with the craziness.
They are a model for us. As Tim Snyder posits, “This is the moment that we must respond to, we must be as courageous as we can”

"It was the political appointee Halligan alone, with no prior prosecutorial experience, asking the grand jury to hand up an indictment … a not-so-subtle sign of protest from the Eastern District of Virginia prosecutors over the strength of the case."

Kash must have been a real hit in kindergarten.
Kash Patel is asked about why Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred to a lower security prison shortly after meeting w. Deputy Atty Gen. Todd Blanche
His response included calling Sen Adam Schiff (D-CA) a "fraud" & a "baffoon"
I've never seen that before in a Congressional hearing

I cannot help but think, when putting the pieces together; outlandish searches, flagrant lies in court, threats of ignoring court orders, huge increases in manpower in ICE and other border forces; that the Orange Felon sees ICE as his SS force, backing up a now authoritarian Justice Department
"This means that [Trump's administration] views what they're doing at the DOJ, in terms of who they select to prosecute, as something that is White House policy. ... This is not the way America has conducted prosecutions ever. The cause of justice has to be independent of politics."

UPDATE: Hankison has been sentenced to 33 months in federal prison.
Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings “criticized prosecutors for making a ‘180-degree’ turn in its approach to the case and said political factors appeared to have influenced its recommendation for a one-day prison sentence.”

So Trump intentionally didn’t tell top congressional Democrats, especially those on Intel, before the strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
But he made sure to let congressional Republicans know beforehand.
