“This immigration issue is a remnant of Subu’s original case. Since that wrongful conviction has now been officially vacated and all charges against Subu have been dismissed, we have asked the immigration court to reopen the case and consider the fact that Subu has been exonerated.”

Look, you are obviously a truth perfectionist, and I don't disagree with that under normal circumstances, but we are literally AT WAR WITH A RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA MACHINE that doesn't give a shit about your "truth".
So spare me the pearl clutching, and get back to exposing who the REAL LIARS ARE.

Pritzker may be one of the best Democrats right now but that's not all that impressive considering his competition. For all that talk, he's done nothing much more than what other Dem governors have done, which is sue. Is he a better fighter than Kotek or Mills? Is it just the shit talk?

Trump is violating the anti-deficiency act in about the loudest most obvious way imaginable due to the shutdown caused by a Senate rule that can be changed at any time.

Trump may think he's dictator for life but Senate republicans don't act like it

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.

A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
