A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

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."

It's not illegal to follow cars, and even if it was illegal, the punishment would not be the death penalty. So what is the border patrol agent's name, and is he in custody for attempted murder? newrepublic.com/post/201444/...

The most common response I hear from Dems is, ‘what happened to her?’ What happened is she wanted to run for Senate, wanted Trump’s endorsement first, and Trump told her not to run because she couldn’t win. Since then, different Marge. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Greene on the Epstein files: "I can't conclusively say that's why the House isn't in session, but the House should be in session...there is a new Democrat that's been elected that deserves to be sworn in...if it's to avoid the discharge petition, why drag this out? It's going to have 218 signatures"

It doesn't matter what is in the Epstein files, or how much proof is there. He will simply deny it, like he has denied his other convictions, and his cult followers will believe him, and he will die never having seen the inside of a prison. It still matters that we attempt to get justice.

Millions of old men are yelling at assisted living and nursing home attendants right now, and they all sound very much like Krasnov, but unfortunately Krasnov was chosen by the FSB and Mossad, probably because he was the only child sex trafficker who is also some sort of pied piper of white morons.

Turns out that when Americans said "If it weren't for us you'd be speaking German now..." their objection was to learning a second language, not fascism.
