The fact that this didn’t take Judge Nachmanoff any time at all underscores how serious the government’s failure was. Welcome to the rocket docket.
Judge Nachmanoff REJECTS govt's claim that magistrate judge Fitzpatrick lacked the authority to order grand jury minutes turned over to Comey but REMANDS to Fitzpatrick to make certain requisite findings first.

ICE abducted 9 documented workers at a car wash in Allston & denied them the chance to retrieve their documents — this is cruel & harrowing.

My office is in touch with the families and working with them to track down their loved ones & connect them with legal counsel.

Yup. It turns out massively destabilizing trade in and out of the country is bad for people importing to build factories in order to export stuff.

Also, they’ve pretty much killed CHIPS and Science, the largest domestic manufacturing bill in recent history.

Facts not in evidence?

Pamela Jo Bondi lies. A lot.
At a press conference last month, the Attorney General of the United States publicized the claim that Abrego played a role in the murder of a rival gang member’s mother.

Today, more than a month later, the government’s own witness admitted that they haven’t been able to corroborate that allegation.

Yesterday, Maurene Comey, who prosecuted the Epstein case, was summarily fired from SDNY. Her letter to colleagues pulls no punches. "Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought."

So much for trying to compete with China, keep our economy on track and preserve the planet for our kids. Trump did this, and he didn't do it alone. This Republican Congress is a historic disgrace.
Destroying the U.S. renewable energy sector in favor of fossil fuel production, thanks to the GOP budget bill. Such an idiotic self own.

As the grocery shopper in our family, the shift has been noticeable in the past 3 weeks. Already switched stores for produce.

Woe is the voter who chose Trump because of grocery prices or inflation or deporting cartel members or the release of the Epstein files.

What Noem is doing here is creating a deliberate conflict between Article I and Article II. She is saying that despite a law duly passed by Congress barring her from this exact action, she can deny access to Members of Congress anyway "to protect the President's Article II authority."

Trump and Noem fired the people who answer the emergency phone line.

It’s not really incompetence because they know what they are doing. They are intentionally breaking government - even the parts that help us when we are deep in crisis.

The floods ripped through Texas on July 4.

On July 5, FEMA received 3000 calls from survivors. 1% were unanswered.

That night, Trump/Noem fired the people who answer the calls.

On July 6, FEMA received 2,363 calls. 65% unanswered.

July 7: 85%.

Sick.

Exactly: THe stories on what didn't get done bc Noem required her personal signature (in additional to call centers, the rescue teams) aren't stating clearly that one reason Noem is doing this is bc she's $1B over budget bc she has blown it all on kidnapping grannies.
Further context: If you’ve never dealt with FEMA after a disaster I can tell you they answer within 30 seconds. No hold times. Real live wonderful people who help while you cry and can’t even figure out what questions to ask. They walk you through it all. Every call.
