a federal judge sanctioned the lawyers who tried to help Trump create a $1.776 billion slush fund so obviously House Republicans are now targeting the judge, saying *she's the one who committed professional misconduct ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva came from behind to win Brazil’s runoff election, halting a right-wing wave sweeping Latin America and defying predictions that the 80-year-old political veteran had finally reached the end of his extraordinary career. bloom.bg/4BsvV24 📷: Maira Erlich/Bloomberg
I am currently working on two puzzles that I turned color-side-down and mixed up together, so that's kind of a large black-and-white puzzle? this project also prompted The Husband to buy me a new puzzle 😅 he was like, clearly you finished all the puzzles we have and started making little challenges
You are not the only one. I tend to only do jigsaws as group projects and I live alone right now, but @audrelawdamercy.blacksky.app does puzzles. (Never her seen her do black-and-white, but she might be dorky enough to do a B&W puzzle of all the families of fish.)

no matter how sure you are that these guys have broken a whole bunch of laws, you aren't nearly as certain as they are
“Several conservative organizations …— including the Heritage Foundation and American Moment — have pressed White House counsel to either prepare pardons or put in place funding for the legal fees necessary to defend junior staffers from criminal and congressional probes or potential lawsuits.”

The generality principle of the Rule of Law is its most essential concept. A class of people outside criminal law is incompatible with a law-based society.

Trump’s goal is to intimidate me and get me to back down. That’s not going to happen. I will not be silenced, and I will not stop fighting for my constituents.

What’s “wrong” for Trump is the idea that a Black and Muslim woman he deems inferior could come to the United States and be granted rights as his equal ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...
fwiw back in 2019, the last time the Trump admin directed federal authorities to comb through Ilhan Omar’s immigration records, they found no evidence of wrongdoing but actual legal wrongdoing is very much not the point of this "investigation" ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Just like JD Vance telling Angie Nixon she doesn't "belong in America" "The fed govt’s ongoing attacks on Ilhan Omar are part of the Trump admin’s attempt to act as sole arbiter of who gets to be an American."
The attacks on Ilhan Omar are part of the federal government's ongoing effort to make equal membership in society depend on race, ancestry, and Trump’s singular will ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

I keep on saying one simple thing: if Chief Justice Roberts keeps on nattering on about the President being the only person who fire anyone, then Congress has to embrace the Chicago Way: small claims impeachment.
i really do think that a successful impeachment and removal of hegseth is a live possibility if dems win the senate. he is a genuine disaster.

Man, Hegseth's Department of War is even more buffoonish than everything else. Kinda amazed how the US military didn't just have some basic war plans they could activate. Their lack of preparedness is astonishing. meidasnews.com/news/so-much...

Fewer than 150 Americans were denaturalized between 1968 and 2013 From 1990-2017, DOJ filed ~11 denaturalization cases per year Trump's DOJ is aiming to pursue “100-200 denaturalization cases per month” ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Woah - boards of service in the Marines and the Navy are ignoring Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth's order to purge transgender troops from the military. "Navy and Marine Corps boards have voted to retain trans members in nine of 12 cases." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

The New York Times wrote articles that were like "the impossible-to-characterize elusive politics of Elon Musk / he's lost interest in politics" right before he became *literally the largest GOP donor in history* the next election cycle. Twice. Two times!
This would be the most any person has donated in any election cycle. And #2 is also Musk, in 2024.
