This is not what democracy looks like. Anyone who cares at all about the Constitution has to take a stand against this and against MAGA.

NEW: Comey is going to file selective and vindictive prosecution motion to dismiss AND he will challenge the legality of Halligan’s appointment! There’s more, too… so glad @annabower.bsky.social is there to bring us the whole story! Thread below with details:

The judge also set an initial schedule for pre-trial motions.

The first set is expected by Oct. 12. Per Comey’s defense counsel, that batch will include motions to dismiss for selective and vindictive prosecution, as well as a motion challenging the legality of Halligan’s appointment as US attorney

I know everything is a firehose, but I think this deserves more attention.

The dude has certainly been contemplating the afterlife a lot lately.

That’s exactly where I’m at.

I’ve been studying politics and government my whole life. My education is in political science and foreign policy.

I’m gutted that everything I thought I knew and all the protections I thought were in place have done nothing to save us from fascism.

Nothing.

I will be the first to admit: I am scared. I am scared of what Trump is doing to our country, our communities, and our neighbors. But just because I am scared does not mean I am helpless. Instead, I will stand up and speak out, Marc Elias writes.

I Refuse to Stay Silent. Will You?

Y’all remember that guy who said he was a recovering crack addict but never actually gave the stuff up, and then bankrupted a popular pillow company?

He was fun.

MAGA: We are a CHRISTIAN nation & based on the BIBLE—which is GREATER than the Constitution.

Me: "Do not mistreat foreigners living in your country. Treat them just as you treat your own citizens. Love foreigners as you love your-selves. I am your Lord God."

MAGA: No No Not that part of the Bible.

My wife and I started Call the Midwife recently and we were just on the edge of our seat for the birth of Chummy’s baby.

Wow.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

You’re right.

Never straight with constituents.

Never straight with oversight committees.

Never straight with investigators.

The correct, free enterprise, laissez-faire capitalist answer is “The NFL is free to hire who they like”, but we’re all fascists now.

Mike Johnson isn't happy that Bad Bunny is performing at the Super Bowl: It sounds like he's not someone who appeals to a broader audience. There's so many eyes on it. A lot of young, impressionable children. In my view, you would have Lee Greenwood or role models doing that. Not somebody like this.

I’ve tried to recruit a prominent labor leader in PA to primary Fetterman, but no luck so far.

I’ll have to redouble my efforts.

Tomorrow the Epstein survivors will storm Capitol Hill to demand release of the files. I hope new Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is sworn in at their press conference by another judge or official who is authorized to do so (doesn’t have to be the Speaker).
