DOJ WHISTLEBLOWER: “I wouldn’t be abiding by my oath if I stayed silent right now.” He says Trumps DOJ wanted him to lie (about Kilmar being a gang member & a terrorist…)— and then fired him when he wouldn’t.

Two days ago, he took a shit on the American people. Today, he began demolishing the People’s House. That’s all he does. He shits on people, and he destroys things. Bcuz he’s a horrible person. I blame him a lot for the death & destruction he’s caused. I blame his enablers & his appeasers even more.

The AWS crash happened when Soros tried to Venmo 7 million protesters all at once. Anyway, he’s broke now.

OMG! In Comey's motion to dismiss for vindictive prosecution, he points to others who have lied to Congress that were NOT prosecuted. Number one is JEFF SESSIONS when he said "I have been called a surrogate at a time or two, but I did not have contact with the Russians." 1/

Here’s EDVa Interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan in action, texting secretly with lawyer-journalist @annabower.bsky.social — not smart; flirting with violating grand jury secrecy; maybe violating DOJ policy; leaking.

An ethical AG would discipline, maybe fire, Halligan for this.

But Pam Bondi.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

So, per reporting from Zeteo’s Asawin Suebsaeng, in today’s new ‘First Draft’ newsletter, Trump tried to get a newly-divorced Russ Vought, Project 2025 architect & now budget chief, laid at Mar-a-Lago.

The details are, ahem, as crude as you’d expect from Trump.

Trump and Nazi Noem are not tracking how often their ICE thugs grab US citizens.

ProPublica did.

More than 170 US citizens.

Their tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer.

And nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.
