Lawyers for Luigi Mangione asked a federal court on Friday to bar prosecutors from seeking the death penalty against him, arguing that Attorney General Pam Bondi’s recently announced decision to do so was “explicitly and unapologetically political.”
Luigi Mangione Says Bondi’s Death Penalty Bid Is an Instagram Stunt
Lawyers for the man accused of killing a health insurance executive in Manhattan said the attorney general was trying to create content for Instagram by announcing she would pursue the death penalty.

Too many Republican Congressmen fear Trump more than anything else. Too many of their Dem colleagues fear any kind of fight at all.

Holding town halls — all comers welcomed, no question off limits — shifts the focus to the people members of Congress are supposed to serve.

HCDP was thrilled to be part of the exciting town hall event hosted by Tim Walz and @betoorourke.bsky.social yesterday!

The energy they harnessed is all the proof we need that we can and will turn Texas blue!

Yesss!! We need more Democrats standing up and speaking out on behalf of our party! ✊🏽

Here’s @betoorourke.bsky.social (alongside Gov Tim Walz) with a passionate plea for Schumer to step down in front of an at-capacity town hall in Houston.

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

Beto O'Rourke:

"For Democrats, too many of them fear to fight at all. You saw Chuck Schumer surender... He gave up the only leverage we have... The only people who they should fear at all is you... You have the power to pick someone else and retire that guy from politics for the rest of his life."

I feel like @governorwalz.mn.gov touring Republican districts isn’t getting as much love as @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social, but Coach and @betoorourke.bsky.social were FIRE tonight in Texas. Beto straight up called for @schumer.senate.gov to resign leadership. They said we need fighters

There is absolutely zero need for anybody to praise Donald Trump for "making sure our borders are stronger." That is whitewashing what he is doing and reinforcing the anti-immigrant sentiment that Trump has always capitalized on.

The $400,000,000 Trump is withholding from Columbia University is no arbitrary amount. It was the amount Donald wanted Columbia to pay him for land he owned. They refused. And Donald was furious. That was 25 years ago. And petty Donald has not forgotten.
