I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

No matter how one feels about Carville, he continues to be a voice with influence in the Democratic Party.
It is significant he is now openly joining others in rejecting the neoliberal economic policy espoused by his former boss.
But we should absolutely reject this divisive—and dangerous—framing.

Russian milbloggers are openly worried about the situation on the left bank of the Dnipro in Kherson. Ukrainian forces now have fire control over key logistics routes in Oleshky and Kinburn Spit. Drones and long-range strikes make Russian resupply nearly impossible, calling it 'extremely difficult'.

NATO Secretary General Rutte says Trump and his team, Rubio, Hegseth, and Witkoff, are actively working to resolve the war. In reality, they’re pushing a deal behind Ukraine’s back that favors Moscow. Rutte shouldn’t repeat the same old trick of appeasing Trump at Ukraine’s expense. Its dangerous.

In short: Even though the court ordered discovery based on the likelihood of vindictive and selective prosecution, we don't even need to get into it and you should dismiss the charges now given we just learned the DOJ lied to a judge about Costa Rica not accepting Mr. Abrego.
