Any prosecution done by Trump’s DOJ will have an asterisk associated with it, the same asterisk assigned to all of the presidential medals of freedom awarded by Trump, or his changing of the DOD to the Department of War.
The asterisk will indicate “BULLSHIT”

Shameless Liar Donald Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

Although this is fun, we need to describe the opposition to Trump as Anti-Fascist. I’m afraid the people are as frightened by Antifa as they are of Woke, and I am certain that they don’t know the definition of either.

WIRED spoke with Mark Bray, the Rutgers historian trying to flee to Spain with his family after an online campaign from far-right influencers was followed by death threats. He was turned back from the airport on his first attempt.

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

This is a military wife calling out Mike Johnson on C-SPAN this morning
Yesterday Johnson had the temerity to announce publicly that he will NOT call the House back to pass emergency pay for our troops
Can't imagine why he thought taking callers on C-SPAN would go well for him..

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials.

I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

“A federal team in El Paso that once pursued child traffickers has been disbanded.

“A task force in Kansas focused on stemming fentanyl has been redirected.

“Highway checkpoints near the border—on roads identified as major drug-trafficking routes—have gone unstaffed”

NEW: TN’s Senators Blackburn & Hagerty joined Republicans in blocking a resolution that would’ve forced Trump to get congressional approval for targeted killings.

AP: The Trump admin hasn’t shown Congress any evidence that the targeted boats were smuggling drugs.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’
