Well it looks like not all the American Lawyers went over to the dark side.
There's still a glimpse of the rule of law and integrity left in America.

I think Halligan is failing to give all the info. Which is why Comey has said he’s filing a motion to dismiss on abuse of the grand jury process. I’m guessing though.

i know grand juries have a relatively low bar for bringing indictments but i find myself wondering WTF is up with some of these grand jurors

Talk to your friends who may be trying to ignore the news and make sure they know to vote YES to Prop 50 and have a plan to vote in California. You’ll be surprised how many people don’t know if they should or will vote. Get to them. Each of us should try to get 10 voters to tell us they’ll vote YES!

Are white parents sending their kids to school with their passports, in case of an ICE raid?

It’s weird how everyone knows exactly what is going on, but few are calling it out for what it is.

Law enforcement says that Charlie Kirk's murder was carried out by a Mormon college drop-out. Some podcasters say it was done by professional Jewish assassins. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

The governors of Illinois and California, as well as a number of members of Congress, are jumping up and down, warning that our democracy is in peril.

As terrifying as that prospect is, it is heartening to see some opposition leaders get loud.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.
