“The law does not permit this kind of prolonged deprivation of an individual’s liberty without any allegations or charges of violating the law,” said Jean Elizabeth Reisz, an attorney representing Marin, who is also a USC law professor.

Hoping these federal agents are held accountable, breaking the law should have real consequences. A federal judge has ruled that federal immigration agents illegally arrested more than two dozen people.

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move.

1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

I honestly don’t care about James Comey.

But I want to live in a democratic republic.

His indictment proves we live in a banana republic, where the autocrat personally orders indictments of his political enemies, and when his own officials refuse he finds new ones that will.

These claims should not be paid by the federal government

The actual perpetrators should be held accountable. Their direct manager also.

If unable to pay, then go after the assets of the executive branch

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Lots of ahistorical reporting about the Kimmel/FCC/ABC/affiliate conflicts.

In the 1960s and 1970s hundreds of local stations frequently blocked network shows that featured Black characters or acts. Even the Jackson 5 cartoon show was replaced with The Osmonds in much of the South.

NEW: While the country was distracted by Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the Senate quietly voted to block the release of the Epstein files.

51–49.

One vote short of transparency.
And not a single outlet led with it.

They know exactly what they’re doing.

Rep. Jasmin Crockett is correct. This is bigger than the pedophile president. MUCH BIGGER. Release the Epstein files!

Breaking on MSNBC:

U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert, who oversees the Eastern District of Virginia, told colleagues he plans to resign.

Siebert had been pressured by Trump officials to bring bogus charges against NY AG Letitia James. Siebert did not find evidence to bring those charges.
