President Obama endorses Prop 50 — the California redistricting effort:

"California, the whole nation is counting on you."

"Democracy is on the ballot Nov. 4. Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to rig the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years."

I was a nobody with a secret security clearance at my work. I went to the USSR in 1982, on a tour, and was told "remember the walls have ears". Now think back to 2018 when a bunch of GOPers went to Moscow to meet Putin. Think of the pee tape. I think Putin has so much dirt on that party.

Putin's Masterplan executed by Trump with precision.

The big question is how Putin recruited Republicans ?

Yes, we indeed have a serious problem.

A tweet by Robert Reich reads:
“The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.”

NEW: Counsel for James Comey confirms that his defense team plans to file a motion challenging the lawfulness of Lindsey Halligan’s appointment as interim U.S. Attorney.

Motion will be heard and decided by an out-of-district judge.

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA
Alexandria Division
United States of America
v.
James Comey
Defendant.
Case No. 1:25CR272-MSN
NOTICE OF INTENT TO FILE MOTION ON UNLAWFUL APPOINTMENT
Please take notice that on October 20, 2025, James Comey, by counsel, will
file his motion to dismiss challenging the lawfulness of the appointment of the
United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. See, e.g., United States
v. Garcia, Crim No. 2:25-CR-00230-DGC-BNW, ECF No. 39 D. Nev. Sept. 30,
2025); United States v. Giraud, et al., Crim No. 1:24-768-MWB, ECF Nos. 144, 145
(D.N.J. Aug. 21, 2025).
The Court advised at arraignment that such motion will require designation
of and assignment to an out-of-district judge to hear and resolve that motion. See 28
U.S.C. § 292(b); Minute Order, ECF No. 19 (Oct. 8, 2025). Thus, in the interest of efficiency and to avoid any unnecessary delay in such process, Mr. Comey files the
instant Notice to formally alert the Court.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES COMEY
By Counsel
Is/
Patrick J. Fitzgerald
Michigan Bar No. P86579 (pro hac vice)
Jessica N. Carmichael
