Goldman: The notion that Tom Homan does official consulting business by receiving $50,000 in cash in a Cava bag is preposterous.

And the fact that they closed that investigation while charging Jim Comey and Tish James with bogus charges at Trump’s direction is completely destroying the DOJ.

Blue was my last one today. And, yes, I thought yellow was going to be a red herring.

Not purple first, but purple second. Pretty good day. 😀 Pair it with Sports Connections, and maybe even a very good day.

A not so subtle metaphor for our current situation.

Washington Post headline with an image that shows ongoing construction on the East Wing of the White House as President Donald Trump’s proposed ballroom is built, on Monday. (Obtained by The Washington Post) :

Part of White House demolished for ballroom, contradicting Trump's claim

The president previously said that construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn't "interfere" with the existing White
House structure.

I wouldn't have gotten purple on my own. (I was pronouncing one of the words the wrong way, for it to make sense anyway.) But I was proud of myself for getting blue.

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

BREAKING: Live munitions from a Trump-Vance “military demo” flew over I-5 and struck a CHP vehicle. The White House wanted the highway open—but Gov. Newsom shut it down for safety. That decision likely prevented injuries or worse.

We have obtained these photos:

Q: "Trump authorized military strikes...in the Caribbean. 20 people have been killed in six different strikes. Do you believe these strikes are legal?"

Sen. Rand Paul:" "No...These people have been blown up without us knowing their name or any evidence of a crime."

If Donald Trump is allowed to weaponize the Department of Justice against his political opponents, democracy itself will not survive. I went on MSNBC to break down the shocking indictment of John Bolton, explaining why it’s not about justice — it’s about revenge and power.

Watch and share.
