Brining lawsuits against political dissidents is the literal antithesis of

Justice Without Fear or Favor

The principle separating America from corrupt systems that serve the personal whims of tyrants.

The Irredeemable DOJ

Why James has an even stronger case of selective prosecution than Comey.

Donald Trump is now giving a speech…pretending that this “Peace Deal,” isn’t really about a beach front property real estate deal.

Soon it will be show us your papers. This must stop.

A tweet by James Surowiecki replying to David J. Bier. Surowiecki asks, “Where in the Immigration and Nationality Act does it say that US citizens have to prove that they're citizens or else be arrested?” The quoted tweet by Bier reads, “ICE agents to US citizen: Turn around or you're getting the dog,” accompanied by a photo of a man wearing a face mask and standing near vehicles at night.

From the Steven Bechloss column.
What is clear is that the robber baron party has always shown their true contempt for property rights and human rights of others while claiming privileges and benefits for themselves.

It’s blatantly obvious that the Trump administration is employing and expanding ICE to be aggressive and provocative in order to incite violent responses by victims and give the thugs an excuse to militarize Trump’s actions against cities.

When Trump & Vance fired the people who maintain and protect our nukes, only to rehire THEM, there was no shutdown. When Trump & Vance fired workers at the Weather Service and mine-safety workers and IRS workers, only to rehire THEM, there was no shutdown. Etc, etc. 🤦🏻‍♂️

BRENNAN: CBS confirmed the Trump administration rescinded the layoffs of CDC scientists. Some were involved with the federal measles response. How does a mistake like this happen?

VANCE: The govt shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. It happened because of Schumer

B: But this was a WH decision

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

Kamala Harris: "The Supreme Court made the decision that the president would be immune from any of his conduct while in office. So we went into the election with this individual, Donald Trump, knowing that he would essentially be immune from any consequence for misbehavior while in office."

In the Irkutsk region, due to budget deficits, medical workers risk being left without salaries, and beneficiaries — without medicines. This will lead to disease led deaths and the spread of epidemics.
