Trump names Lindsey Halligan, a WH aide with no prosecution experience, to be interim US Atty in E. Dist. of VA. She replaces the guy Trump fired for not prosecuting NY AG Letitia James and former FBI director Jim Comey. Wonder what she'll do?

Last week, UC Berkeley turned over 160 names of students and employees to the federal antisemitism investigation. At a time of increasing censorship of voices in media, among comedians, it may be helpful to consider some history. 🧵

So here's a question. Saw the guy with the "football" nuclear codes briefcase in the background at Alaska air base. Is he in the same limo with Trump and Putin? That would be pretty weird.

This ICE outside Gov. Gavin Newsom's press conference today. The unmasked guy talking to white-shirted reporter is Greg Bovino. He's Chief Border Patrol Agent for the El Centro Section. Bovino called Maj. Gen Scott Sherman "disloyal" when Sherman opposed use of troops for a sweep of MacArthur Park.

Sherman testified yesterday he was called "disloyal" by Greg Bovino, head of Border Patrol in LA for objecting to the plan. (The planned show of force in the park was because feds believed MS-13 gang considered MacArthur Park "their turf," Sherman said.)

One particular operation stood out. Sherman described his opposition to use of the military for a planned DHS march on MacArthur Park in LA on Father's Day.

The US DOJ began its case today with testimony of Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman. He describes the training of soldiers and marines on their use of force and limits on actions so they don't violate Posse Comitatus.

Day 1 of the trial over the legality of Trump’s deployment of 4,000 troops and 700 Marines to LA during June’s #LAimmigraton protests. Out of the gate, Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman, who oversaw troops there, testified Greg Bovino, Border Patrol Chief in LA, questioned his patriotism. #possecomitatus

Ok another crazy post by Trump, but who the heck is that in the background? Is that who's coming, that we can't stop?

Santa Rosa showing up with several thousand strong. Even the penguins turned out.

Trump admin is considering how to “denaturalize” US citizens so they can be shipped to El Salvador’s gulag. Think it can’t happen? Consider history. In 1907, Congress passed the Expatriation Act, which said American women who married non-citizens lost their citizenship, because it was disloyal.

Every time I see a picture of the Oval Office, Trump has added some gawdy gold. Look at the mantel frame behind Zelensky two weeks ago. Now look at today's mantel frame with new gold, to go with all the trash on top of the mantel. Saving more fed money?
