Mark L. Wolf has resigned as a federal judge in Massachusetts, a position he's held since 1985:
"My reason is simple: I no longer can bear to be restrained by what judges can say publicly or do outside the courtroom. Pres. Donald Trump is using the law for partisan purposes."

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Donald Trump is clearly willing to do whatever it takes to stay in power, regardless of what the Constitution says. He “has always told us exactly who he is,” J. Michael Luttig argues. “We have just not wanted to believe him. But we must believe him now.”

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

No, Donald. The record is clear: Erik Siebert resigned, in writing. Your ham-fisted ‘I fired him!’ claim is contradicted by Exhibit A—his letter. Objection sustained: that’s not firing, it’s flailing. This is still a country of laws.
