Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials.

I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

So yesterday a reporter asked Donald Trump about the writ of habeas corpus, and he had no idea what it was.

"I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi."

Well, It turns out Sen. Hassan asked Kristi Noem about it in May, and this was Noem's response:

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · May 20

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

I spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Is there a “second” phase of the “peace plan”? And if there isn’t, why is it not just reported as a temporary ceasefire?

The simple truth is that Trump is a criminal. Now he and his accomplices are back in power, and they’re using that power to smear the honest agents and prosecutors who investigated them. www.thebulwark.com/p/bondi-host...

Christ, even the access crew at Axios are dumping on Johnson and GOP

Things have to be really bad for Republicans when their pals at DC gossip outlets are piling on

Murshed Zaheed @murshedz.bsky.social · 23h

At this point Democrats in Congress shouldn't concede an inch unless Johnson and Thune meet all their demands.

Republican rank and file members know it - majority of public are siding with Dems over healthcare and tired of giving Trump blank checks. www.axios.com/2025/10/08/m...

The Broadcast Freedom and Independence Act is our chance to rein in the FCC's out-of-control attacks on our free press. Congress must act now to pass this bill.
