Maryland Rep. Olszewski: With all the due respect to the Speaker, that is a load of crap. Rep. elect Grijalva was duly elected. She’s ready to get sworn in any time, any place. Those 2 Floridians were sworn in the day after they were elected. This is now weeks that we’ve been waiting to swear her in

I stand with Letitia James. Mark my words, he just picked a fight with the wrong lawyer.

This is what happens when a vindictive felon with unchecked power sits in the White House. It’s disgraceful, and every single person cheering it on will be remembered for standing on the wrong side of history.

His patronizing and smugly superior expression is one that I would bet every woman recognizes who has been in any type of leadership role. How dare she try to tell him anything. I would like to see him take a pie in the face like in vaudeville! (It’s the first nonviolent thing that came to mind!)

Earlier today, DOJ basically told the judge in the Kilmar Abrego case they were going to blow off the vindictive prosecution claim.

His attorneys responded, fine, then the criminal case must be dismissed.
storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Ultimately, as the defense explained in its Status Report, to the extent the government
maintains its position that it will not produce the relevant discovery, under a claim of privilege or
otherwise, the government cannot rebut Mr. Abrego’s demonstrated, prima facie case of
vindictiveness, making dismissal of this case the only proper remedy. (Dkt. 146 at 3-4).

Pope Leo keeps scoring points with me...

“Communication must be freed from the misguided thinking that corrupts it, from unfair competition and the degrading practice of so-called clickbait."

The Pope vs. clickbait! Awesome.

And kudos to The Guardian for their headline humor.

You won’t believe what degrading practice the pope just condemned

Pope Leo XIV says he will "stand with" Catholic leaders in protecting immigrants facing mass deportations in the U.S., according to advocates who recently met with the Pope.

Pope Leo will ‘stand with’ Catholic leaders in protecting immigrants’ rights, advocates say

The comments from the pope mark the most recent push from the Vatican against the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

How much does Fox News pay if you go on one of their shows and claim to be a "Former ANTIFA Member"?

Because I'm ready to spill tea on the Real-Housewives-level shenanigans that go down in the 72-story ANTIFA corporate headquarters. Especially by the lab assistants on the Molotov Cocktail floor.

There wouldn't be the Battle of Broadview in IL or the Frog Wizard of Portland if ICE wasn't doing this violent performative shit. Other presidents deported millions, but it didn't make headlines because they did it through due process. Forcing troops to invade other states is all just circular

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.
