Since the raids began, over 170 American citizens have been detained by federal agents without warrants, without probable cause, and without due process.

Let that sink in: 170 U.S. citizens, unlawfully detained in our own country.

Oh nooooo, Lindsey Halligan, this is not how any of this works

(15 screens into a Signal exchange) www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...
Screenshot of a text exchange via Signal between Anna Bower and Lindsay Halligan. Halligan: By the way - everything I ever sent you is off record. You're not a journalist so it's weird saying that but just letting you know. Bower: I'm sorry, but that's not how this works. You don't get to say that in retrospect. Halligan: Yes I do. Off record. Bower: I am really sorry. I would have been happy to speak with you on an off the record basis had you asked. But you didn't ask, and I still haven't agreed to speak on that basis. Do you have any further comment for the story? Halligan: It's obvious the whole convo is off record. There's disappearing messages and it's on signal. What is your story? You never even told me about a story.

President began demolishing the East Wing of the WH to build there his $200M+ ballroom.

East Wing was built in 1942 during the presidency of FDR. It was constructed to cover the bunker that he used during WWII and the President's Emergency Operations Center.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

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.

The Justice Department had 36 attorneys assigned full-time to investigate corrupt politicians when Trump took office in January.

Today it has two.

See how this works?

1. On Monday, Trump delivered a $70 million windfall to his billionaire buddy, John Paulson.

Paulson hosted the biggest fundraiser of Trump's 2024 campaign, raising over $50 million.

This week, Trump returned the favor.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

It’s not the exact funding plan Ds backed 13 times. The March ‘25 CR increased defense spending by $6B & cut non-defense spending by $13B. It’s why most Ds didn’t vote for it, including in the Senate, but 10 Ds did vote to help it clear the filibuster. www.npr.org/2025/03/14/n...
