Obstruction of justice. Hold them in contempt
🚨BREAKING: Federal prosecutors tell federal judge they need an additional MONTH to review Ghislaine Maxwell's routine motion to throw out her conviction because she attached 148 documents that need to be reviewed.
Trump's DOJ has released .6% of the records required by law to be public by Dec. 19.

Also, the guy who killed someone dropped an F bomb. So the only difference between him and Frey is killing someone.
WELKER: Do you bear any responsibility to bring down the temperature?
FREY: Of course. But I dropped an F bomb and they killed somebody. I think the killing somebody is the inflammatory element here and not the F bomb.

EPSTEIN files, please. And elected officials should not be barred by Noem.
Morrison: "We were met when we came up to the gates of the ICE facility with a phalanx of about 25 armed officers who were quite menacing in their approach. So to suggest 3 members of Congress who were there unarmed to conduct oversight is somehow an inflammatory action is patently untrue."

Analysis | Joe Biden would not have invaded NATO allies, cut off child welfare, or sent armed forces to kill Americans. But he would have given very few press conferences and spoken in a halting voice. The voters got it right.

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up. And yet: It didn’t air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTube—and it has nearly 800k views already youtu.be/6ywLEESFDu0?...

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

Wish that members of this lunatic administration had the same energy about "complying with law enforcement " when it came to the insurrectionist who stormed the Capitol and assaulted law me and my coworkers. The mental gymnastics these clowns do is exhausting. Renee Nicole Good was murdered

Minutes after ICE shot her, the Trump administration had already declared Renee Nicole Good a ‘domestic terrorist.’

The link from Orlando Sentinel is well worth reading. It includes metrics like cost and graduation/dropout/transfer rate, post-graduate fellowships (or lack thereof) won by students, and also the link from NYT article.
In Florida, people continue to have a laugh at the completely clueless NYT article about New College.
Editorial: New College is far from a success story
A recent New York Times story painted a rosy picture at Florida’s New College in the wake of its hard-right turn. It left out a lot of details.
