Couldn't fire his daughter so they're back after him again.
Comey: Well, they're back again. It would almost be funny if it weren't such an appalling abuse of the DOJ. One that we cannot become numb to. Nothing's changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid of these people. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary.

Even with all the levers of power he has his hands on, and even with control of every mechanism in the federal government, Trump has been unable to find election fraud. So he's crowdsourcing it now.
Trump: "Anybody reporting Voter Fraud in the past Elections, or the upcoming 2026 Midterm Election, will be paid $1,000,000 upon the arrest and conviction of those that created the Fraud! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Three detainees have died at ICE’s Camp East Montana, one in a death ruled a homicide. Federal auditors found evidence missing or destroyed, and inspectors documented 52 violations. ICE is now pursuing a $2.8 billion no-bid contract through 2028.
Lawyers are the last bastion of USA democracy. Looks like they really are worth the enormous fees they charge.
A group of former federal prosecutors and human rights lawyers is coming together to investigate political corruption and law enforcement violence that it says is being ignored by the Trump DOJ. "The rule of law is on life support, but it's all of our responsibility to make sure it doesn't die."

In a turn-up for the books, men who don't make their party leader or their party their identity. Instead showing they can unite for a common good, and for the best Candidate. More of this, please.

Since the beginning of Trump’s second term, American democracy has been unwound at frightening speed. Analysis by the V-Dem Institute shows the rate of democratic backsliding in US is faster than we saw in Hungary, India, Russia or Serbia And if we don’t take urgent action it could happen here too
In the UK we are facing an unprecedented coalition of hostile states, enormously wealthy far-right individuals prepared to spend many hundreds of £millions to swing elections & a media & social media ecosystem which they almost entirely control - we are simply not ready youtu.be/8ap3DObeNEs?...

Begs the question why they prayed publicly with him and all the cameras around him knowing he's at core just a desperate for adulation failed daytime tv game-show host with previous? Evidently they condone his actions to this point.

A 34 count felonious confirmed r@pist r@ped others. No surprise. More are coming. He can't pay everyone off. He's the most scared and desperate he's ever been. I love that for him.
NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Eisenkot presents unity as a central political principle while opposing Palestinian statehood. His position raises a fundamental contradiction of unity for Israelis, but no equivalent right to national self-determination or existence for Palestinians. That's still genocide.
Israel can't do the right thing, Netanyahu and his principal electoral rival Gadi Eisenkot are genocidal, Eisenkot is credited with formulating the "Dahiya Doctrine", a military strategy of disproportionate force and targeting civilians. Partook in IL war cabinet during recent Gaza massacres.

HEADS-UP, IRELAND. Another ICE flight headed your way. Based on info from human source, I expect this ICE flight — and/or another one tomorrow — to be unlawfully refouling Ukrainians through Poland.

Iran wasn't running out of firepower. It was holding back. Now vessels are being sunk, missile tests are accelerating, and the scale of attacks is expanding dramatically. What we're witnessing should terrify Trump's war planners.

Consequences. Not for the USA President of course, but others don't have his apparent immunity.
The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."
Take THAT slap in the face with the rolled-up Constitution 👏
Judge Furman rules that Maureen Comey's firing violated separation of powers. Orders backpay. Govt's arguments violate 2 centuries of SCOTUS rulings & would "unsettle the equilibrium established by this Nation's constitutional system." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Great read, as always:

To everyone getting their knickers in a twist… All because @andyburnham.bsky.social suggested a sensible conversation about freedom of movement …do you perhaps need reminding of this?
