Hey! Remember when Barr (Bondi) withheld the Mueller (Epstein) documents for weeks so he (she) could mischaracterize what was in the Mueller (Epstein) Report and spin the findings for three weeks and then over-redact them? I sure do!

Rent-Seeking: Trump Sells Patriotic Fraud to Boost His Tariff Lies
It's not just that Trump is lying abt what the $1,776 check is.
He also lied by saying it was funded by tariffs.

Among the blizzard of lies Trump told last night is that the $1,776 check he's sending to service members has anything to do with his tariffs.

Trump's promise of $1,776 for service members last night -- which was supposed to be a tariff thing -- is in fact theft from increased housing allowances.

More than $2.9 billion in reconciliation funds was allocated to beef up troop housing allowances. Now it’s being used for $1,776 checks.

Sean Hecker, Kilmar's attorney, once hailed how much courage it took Kilmar to challenge what DOJ/DHS is doing to him. That stuck with me. Kilmar Abrego is just some guy, vulnerable in a way most of us are not.
But he has taken on Trump and ... thus far at least, prevailed.

"Today’s ruling is a powerful affirmation that the rule of law still matters," Sandoval-Moshenberg said. "The Court made … clear that the govt cannot detain a person indefinitely without legal authority, and that every agency involved must now comply fully and promptly with the Court’s directives."
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is released from ICE custody following judge's order
Judge Paula Xinis of the U.S. District Court in Maryland ruled that the Trump administration lacked the legal authority to continue holding Abrego.

A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.

No thumbs up from Zohran.
Trump also just posted these photos to Truth Social, including the one with Mamdani standing next to a portrait of FDR. Trump mentioned Mamdani asked if he could have his picture taken there.
"It's an amazing portrait in the cabinet room," Trump said. "So he's a big fan of the New Deal, I guess..."

Our health care system was already in crisis before Republicans came in and slashed a trillion dollars.
Here’s the truth: our system can't absorb these cuts and keep providing health care to everyone who needs it.
Any budget we pass must restore health care.

The problem, as I noted in my original post, is that the Interim US Attorney appointments are for just 120 days, PER position (not person), and Erik Siebert already used up those 120 days before EDVA judges named him US Attorney and then Trump fired him.
