AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

They asked Jack Smith to do a transcribed interview 'behind closed doors'. After seeing the confidence and 'ready for battle' attitude' Smith exuded in clips of Weissman's interview w/ Smith, Republicans don't want Jack Smith to testify publicly because it'll look really bad for them.

It's a no-brainer that her appointment is invalid. So the question becomes, is the indictment (on she was the only lawyer signatory) invalid as a result—and, if so, is it too late for the Trump DOJ to remedy that problem, given that the statute of limitations ran on Sept. 30.

James Comey formally notifies the court of his intent to try to disqualify Trump’s lawyer Lindsey Halligan as unlawfully appointed.

The motion cites rulings DQ-ing two other Trump top prosecutors: Sigal Chattah and Alina Habba.

Trump already gave so many of us jobs with ICE. We may have to start recruiting soon to fill all these spots.

Critics including Elon Musk have assailed my @cato.org colleague Alex Nowrasteh's study finding that most politically motivated terrorist killings in the U.S. since 1975 have been done by persons on the right. Alex responds to the critics here and explains his methods and classifications.

The 15 year old girl who was dragged from her car by ICE had recently had kidney surgery.

She was thrown to the ground despite screaming “I’m not resisting”

She had to return to the hospital.

These aggressive tactics will disable. They will kill.

They must be held accountable.
