As I observed in my Substack Round Up this past week, the endgame of the military strikes against drug cartels in international waters is to lay the groundwork to use lethal military force against Americans at home. Pay attention open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

I wrote legal editorials for the Post for a hot minute many years ago, and I was constantly anxious about making sure I got the details right. This editorial is just humiliating for everyone involved

I spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Opinion | Jack Smith’s lawfare and James Comey’s arraignment on pathetically weak charges

Good people will be deterred from public service if they see a meaningful risk of winding up in jail afterward.

You’ve gotta be kidding me.

This WaPo editorial presents a misleading revisionist history of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s criminal cases against Trump.

Then it has the gall to compare that to Trump’s overt targeting of his perceived enemies.

Really embarrassing stuff.

But the mere fact that a legal tool might be available does not mean it should be used. The
current rage over Grassley's revelation shows why. Smith showed little restraint in his pursuit of a former president. He charged Trump for official acts he took as president. He sought a gag order to limit Trump's ability to criticize the prosecution. He tried to accelerate the case to try a leading presidential candidate before the 2024 election.

It's the Mafia, only with all the levers of government and a first rate comms team. The apathy of the electorate is engineered with changes to election law, a shuttered legislature & the assistance of the plutocrat's organs. Voters don't know 5% of Ford's malfeasance.

Last night, my team filed a motion to defend voters in California.

DOJ sued 8 states. My firm has filed to protect voters in all 8 states.

We will never back down from the fight to protect free and fair elections.

Marc Elias @marcelias.bsky.social · 7d

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files.

My team has now filed motions to defend voters in 7 of those cases in ME, MI, MN, NH, NY, OR and PA.

I suggest that DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining one in CA.

Now you know why!
A number of vehicles assigned to Ontario cabinet ministers have racked up a combined $3,300 in automated speed camera fines.
The data comes as the Ford government looks to eliminate the use of speed enforcement cams. #cdnpoli

The conclusion that Doug Ford and everyone around him are lawless pricks who don't give a rat's as whether you, your family and friends or your community live or die is unavoidable.

#Onpoli #FordFailedOntario #FordIsCorrupt - Ford should butt out of municipalities on this matter - mayors are closer to what’s happening & they should be allowed to implement what they think it’s best. I live near two schools- speed limit is 40- people speed up past me honking -kids safety ???

Same in Canada. Leaders of the far right remigratiom movement in Canada use Heritage Canadians and fly the Red Ensign to validate their position.

The nativist right keeps talking about “heritage Americans.” It's a buzzword engineered to move the goalposts on immigration even further, argues @alibreland.bsky.social.

Are You a ‘Heritage American’?
