I'm old enough to remember how Bill Barr white washed the Mueller probe into Russia to hide that Trump & his circle had ties & contacts w/ the Kremlin. Pam Bondi's same playbook: releasing a list of names without context, a coverup to protect billionaire pedophiles. DOJ is violating the law.

ABC: Do you still have confidence in Pam Bondi as AG?
MASSIE: I don't think Pam Bondi has confidence in Pam Bondi. She wasn't confident enough to engage in anything but name calling in a hearing. So no, I don't. She was responsible for the document production.

My law firm is now litigating 85 voting and election cases in 40 states. This is the largest number of cases in the most states we have ever handled at one time. And, while Big Law firms mostly sit idly by, the need to protect elections in court is only growing.

Trump Pushes Vile Idea that Voting is a Privilege for the Elite
Voting is a right, not a privilege. But to push the voting rights theft of the "SAVE Act" Trump compares voting to privileges like driving, boarding a flight, buying beer and even government benefits.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
Not one dime for this cruelty.

I circled back to my yoga mat this morning and what a joy. This month's affirmation: "I honor my truth without guilt or shame. I allow my relationships to meet me with the same respect I offer others. When I choose balance over approval, my life becomes more aligned." Namaste.

I realize media doesn’t think it’s a big deal that Trump, Vance & Hegseth continue to give partisan political speeches to troops, evidenced by the fact that they are never asked about it nor are members of Congress, but it is one of the most dangerous things happening right now.

Dear JOCs: Words of wisdom for those who lost their jobs at WAPO & AJC. By now you know that awards weren't going to save you. It's not about you. It's about white supremacy self preservation. Take time to mourn, rest & rebuild yourself. Keep your head high. You'll survive.🇵🇷 🧘♂️

The real risk for American broadcasters is not that dissent will be visible. It is that audiences will start assuming anything they do not show is being hidden
