Took this photo this morning on the lawn of the Municipal Building in my little town of Maplewood, NJ, showing the Ukrainian flag (which has been displayed for the past three years in support). As I left, I passed a woman who told me, “I’m here to take the same picture.”
I live in a great town.

In light of Trump's duplicity and collusion with Russian aggression, more towns should add the flag of Ukraine to their municipal displays, imho.

People have to let go of "what about the good Republicans?" in Congress. A MAGA enabler is as unacceptable as a "proud" MAGA.

If anyone tells you that *your* Republican member of Congress is "one of the good ones" or "not like the MAGA ones", don't believe it.
Don't vote to re-elect any of them this November.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?
Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.
And they almost shot some kids in the process.

They just blindly shot through the fucking door.

Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Rs to "nationalize" elections: "We had 3 Republicans who were ahead on election day in last cycle & every time a new tranche of ballots came in they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No"

This entire answer from Mike Johnson — the speaker of the House and a lawyer — must be seen.
It is fundamentally wrong on both points: as to administrative warrants (which need not be signed by immigration judges) and as to judicial warrants (which are not "new" for authorizing home entry).
