First of all, the prosecutor was Emil Bove, a Trump ally who just got rewarded with a lifetime appointment as a federal judge.
Second of all, he's now saying he didn't know anything about it and relied on what "people said" (Christ) but just ten days ago he was claiming he'd pored over the records.

It seems so ironic to call yourself a Christian and celebrate Christmas as the birth of Jesus and also support Trump and I.C.E.

Leaders of a Catholic church in Massachusetts kept a Nativity display with an anti-ICE message in place on Monday, defying an order from the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston to remove it. The display shows Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus missing, replaced by a sign reading “ICE WAS HERE.” trib.al/adPW46y

Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

People are about to find out why the Democrats are holding out for the healthcare subsidies. What will they do with that info? Will they continue to back their dear leader or finally realize he doesn't have their best interest in mind?

Today I am angry that the Mariners lost game 7 of the ALCS. I'm angry that ownership has consistently, over the years, failed to put the money needed into this team. I'm angry at the playoff management from Dan Wilson. I'm angry that I am 43 and have not see one single Mariners World Series game.

When broken down issue by issue I feel like most people agree with left leaning politics. At least in my experience. People seem to agree with the basics.
We've failed to break it down and articulate the democratic platform. We've let fear become the biggest issue. Unsubstantiated fear.

The Trump administration's unusual 10-day ban on drone flights across Chicago could have serious consequences for our ability to monitor law enforcement activity.
We can't let the government weaken our First Amendment rights by claiming vague “security threats.”

DOJ is such a fucking embarrassment.
Apart from how substantively terrible the things they've done have been, purely from a professional point of view, it's an avert-your-eyes, cringe-inducing, vicarious embarrassment nightmare.

My god.
This is not, I do not think, of any real importance to the case. The change being sought was minor.
But, Alsup's point is AGGRESSIVELY made.
DOJ files reply on 8/14.
Opinion issued 9/12.
Judgment issued 9/13.
Notice of appeal filed 9/16.
"Errata" notice filed 9/30.
Denial issued today.
