One of the reasons the Jack Smith investigations seemed to take forever is because Biden's DoJ *did* have their hands around the evidence before they indicted. And they'd have convicted, too, if it weren't for those pesky SCOTUS fellas. 1/

Hey, you guys? Is it a good sign or a bad sign if the prosecution is just getting its hands around the evidence *after* it criminally charged the former FBI director?

Anna Bower @annabower.bsky.social · 12h

At one point during the hearing, the judge asked the prosecution why the case can’t be tried before mid-December.

Lemons replied: We are “just getting our hands around” discovery in the case.

There’s lots of it, he added, and it includes a “significant” amount of classified information.

One thing @govpritzker.illinois.gov does here, which WE ALL need to do more often, is lead with Trump's crimes.

A sex assaulted fraudster serial felon who freed HUNDREDS of cop assailants--and some terrorists--on his first day is trying to claim Democrats are criminals.

Did anyone even pay attention? 👀ICE quietly rolled out a hiring push for “Criminal Investigators” no college degree required, $50K in bonus and up to $100k salary.

Think about that.

WSJ reports that DOJ is going to charge John Bolton.

In case you needed anyone less sympathetic to rally behind than Jim Comey.

www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Prosecutors in Maryland are expected in coming days to charge one of Trump’s first-term national security advisers, John Bolton, now a top Trump critic, with mishandling classified information, according to people familiar with the matter.

Ominous moment in D.C. today.
My Uber driver (soft-spoken, older, kind) said surely:
“Trump’s going to make sure the next election never happens.”

He wasn’t boasting. He was afraid.

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.

Forgot his keys and his password in a myth that's an urban one.

This is a bitter ode to him; he soon became undone..

..victimized by all of those clinging shadows.

Soon he collapsed, all evidence lost in the shattered windows?

Pritzker: "I think it's important to recognize that the Trump administration does not seem to respect any laws in the United States. They just do what they want to do and they'll keep doing it unless someone stops them. Here in Illinois we're stopping them."

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.

The Portland mayor will have more support than Kristi Noem and the Trump administration when it comes to federalizing and occupying cities.

She’s safely on top of a building looking down at reporters and a guy in a chicken suit. Mayor Wilson is standing up for Portland. She’s against them!

I actually don't think that Discount Goebbels censored himself.

One possible explanation is that somewhere deep inside Stephen Miller he still has fragments of a human personality and he recently underwent a trauma that would have floored humans with actual human emotion.

Fighting Against Fascism @fightinginjustice.bsky.social · 1d

Stephen Miller states that Trump has plenary authority, then immediately stops talking as if he’s realized what he just said.

The fact that he knows he's not supposed to be just saying it out loud like that because it's not true and he didn't mean to telegraph their intentions that clearly

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?
