The Attorney General is so unserious.
If you’re a prosecutor who is serious about obtaining a conviction, you don’t go on Fox and talk about the (alleged) facts of the case like this.
Has Bondi read the Justice Manual? Has Bondi heard of pretrial publicity motions? How about bar ethics rules?

It's pretty wild, when you think about it, that the political press spent four years saying "Biden's real test: will Americans approve of his economy?" and then Trump's been president for three months and he's brutally murdering the economy and the political press is just not that focused on it

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:
—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.
Read it.

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them
Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

“They put poison in the food, it makes us sick.“
The reality here is so fucking boring that it doesn’t stick on anyone’s head. What “they” did was make food cheap and “ultra palatable” which is the fancy phrase for “very yummy.”
Thats it. A huge part of the problem is that food is too good.

This is deranged. Jan. 6 defendants were repped by one of the best public defender offices in the U.S. They were more likely to be released pretrial & got comparatively light sentences. SCOTUS threw out a bunch of convictions, which almost never happens. They got gold-plated due process!

While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.
A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

If someone is arguing against due process, just ask them if they believe someone is innocent until proven guilty. It's the same thing.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison.
It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.
