Remarkable final lines to dissent by Judge Graber in 9th Cir openly urging en banc reversal by Ninth Circuit and ending, "Above all, I ask those who are watching this case unfold to retain faith in our judicial system for just a little longer."

Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing?

Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

Trump is tearing down the East Wing of the White House to build a $250 million golden ballroom for himself and his donors.

Demolition work in progress at the White House with a crane and workers visible on site.

Remember what he did to the Rose Garden?

You guys I’m really sorry but I am never going to forgive him for ripping a side off the White House and I am never going to forgive all the people who could have stopped him but just kept going along to get along.

You'd think that "tearing down the White House in the middle of a government shutdown to build a gold-plated ballroom" would be something the opposition party could run with. We gotta get us one of those

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.

Change your exemptions and stop having federal taxes withheld. Perfectly legal. I see this happening here and there and I hope it catches on. Put the money in the bank so you can pay it when this nightmare is over or wait for the understaffed IRS to ask for it. Why should we fund our destruction?

Tbh I don't think that's really their source of pay at this point, they're largely paid by a bunch of craven corporations who want to buy your baby to either put it in a factory or sell it to some old dementia addled white dude who believes in the great replacement theory and like diddling kids

Based on this I think if you morphed into an old fat white hateful pedophile you could do literally whatever you want, so I guess try to become that or something

I mean like straight up, it's clear that he knows he can do whatever he wants. Guarantee you right now in that video as he's saying all this, in front of hundreds, he's probably actively shitting his pants, and he's PROUD of himself despite it

I'm glad I spent the last decade warning folks like y'all of being exactly in the spot we are to then be finger wagged at by the people who told me I was being dramatic or extremist that I'm not opening the tent up enough, like wow what a great fucking society here
