⚡️ UNCONSTITUTIONAL: Rep. Justin J. Pearson & Rep. Gabby Salinas send letter putting Gov. Bill Lee on notice that his deployment of the National Guard to Memphis violates the TN Constitution.

Lawmakers ask Governor for community investments to eradicate poverty instead of military occupation.

NEW: “The Justice Department seemed poised to pursue an indictment against Letitia James on pathetically weak charges. Yet the charges that actually ended up in the indictment a jury returned on Thursday may somehow be even weaker.”

Lindsey Halligan didn't have a strong case against Letitia James. She indicted her anyway.

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · 1d

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.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

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

Trump is using our tax dollars to buy Argentine pesos to bail out the country's failing libertarian economy.

I like how they gave the Nobel Prize to someone fighting for democracy in Venezuela, instead of someone sinking fishing boats off their coast.

#ConfederateTrump lacks the capacity to engage in behavioral responses that would warrant the Nobel Peace Prize. This distinguished accomplishment is based on actions that improve humanity. His acting like a Nazi Klan member targeting non-whites is not it.

Gov. Shapiro: "The way the president has chosen to deploy the National Guard in other states, and to deploy the Guard of one state. Texas, into another state, Illinois, is extremely dangerous...It does not make us more safe. It creates chaos and real danger in our communities."
