BREAKING: A federal judge found ICE violated a consent decree prohibiting ICE from arresting people without warrants or probable cause in Illinois and five other states. The court extended the decree until February 2, 2026, giving a tool to fight against ICE’s abuses of warrantless arrests.

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

Portland propaganda

As Trump continues to deploy National Guard troops in Portland, his goons on TV spread more and more ridiculous lies about what’s really going on.

He’s the biggest piece of shit! He and his bff Mike Lee, who clerked for Alito are the same type of people. Pretend to be religious for vote and have an agenda to aid in overthrowing our democracy. That should tell you a whole lot about the conservative justices on the SCOTUS.

Mike Davis clerked for Neil Gorsuch, worked in DOJ and on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Now he is an election denier troll who peddles conspiracies on Steve Bannon's show.

So, of course, all of that makes him a close ally of the Trump regime.

it just feels like.

But I didn’t and still don’t like making a cult of women’s knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men don’t know, women’s deep irrational wisdom, women’s instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior – women’s knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?

We’re watching an entire political party actively protect the single most infamous sex-trafficking operation of our time.

This isn’t just silence—it’s complicity at the highest level.

Let me guess, they’re going to complain that he won and the Nobel was stolen from him. These are the most disgustingly pathetic people I’ve ever seen.

BARTIROMO: On your point about the Nobel Peace Prize, do you think maybe the reason Trump won't get it is because you had to get the application in before Jan. 31, and that was only 11 days into his term?

SCALISE: Look, they can play technicalities. They gave it to Obama for just getting elected.

I speak to you today because no one seems to say. Peace ends Poverty. War was always a crime. We the People really rules the world. We just need to stop being afraid. Never have a united People been defeated. We are to accepting of Poverty. We allow the lost to gather wealth against death.

NYT published an opinion today by Christopher Caldwell of the Claremont Institute. The Heritage Foundation cited Caldwell in a March article titled: "Trump Is Bringing About a Regime Change Not Seen Since 1933."

Is this the New York Times or Völkischer Beobachter?
