This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

James is an excellent role model. We all must be fearless

Of all the clerics they could have popped, those ICE idiots had to hit Hot Priest.

Give Brad Lander a cape. ❤️

One of the best feelings in the world must be to be a baseball organist who’s like fuck it, I’m playing Thriller

Thanks!

Mr. H and I both got flu and COVID shots yesterday. I’m purposely taking it easy today even though I don’t feel any bad effects. Let me have a day, okay?

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

In the cities Trump is targeting to “combat crime,” violent crime was down year-over-year by July. www.pbump.net/o/a-quick-re...

I still am amazed young men could write here what older people know.

As with Comey, the charges against Letitia James have no signature other than Trump’s handpicked personal attorney Lindsey Halligan.

No line prosecutor signed this document.

I'm sorry but it's just wild we are in the middle of a government shutdown and the House Republicans are REFUSING TO SHOW UP FOR WORK so they can protect billionaire pedophiles and billionaire tax breaks.

U.S. District Judge April Perry says it comes down to a "credibility determination."

"I simply cannot credit [the Trump administration's] declarations to the extent they contradict state and local law enforcement. … DHS' perception of events are simply unreliable."

“.. the first time a Republican governor has questioned the interstate deployment of National Guard troops over a governor’s objections.”

Oct 6: "Yusi, who oversees major criminal prosecutions in the Norfolk office...confided to coworkers that she sees no probable cause to believe James engaged in mortgage fraud"

Oct 9: Interim US Attorney Halligan asks grand jury to approve criminal charges against James for mortgage fraud

We are witnessing the most lawless behavior by a leader in American history, just daily, extraordinary abuses of power. National Democrats must speak out in a loud and clear voice against Trump's escalating authoritarianism. It is time now.

Sort of a perfect summation of how the law doesn't matter if you don't have any shame.

We should both hire people who care about the lives and comfort of those who are at their mercy while detained, and make it so people who callously ignore medical emergencies never work in these fields again.

This one still makes me worried about calling 911 for a medical emergency, and I doubt the people who ignored actual hypoglycemia suffered any professional or legal consequences. They assumed the man must be on drugs after being accurately told he was diabetic and suffering from low blood sugar.

Tish James is a strong and moral leader who has served New York with integrity and I sincerely hope this case is dismissed so she can keep protecting us.

Garbage now. Used to be a gem of democracy.
