Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

@klobuchar.senate.gov @smith.senate.gov @repilhan.bsky.social Hi to staff of my elected federal reps. The guys who assaulted this person are federal staff. Under the purview of your bosses. You can ask your bosses to look at this. Please help America by asking your bosses to look at this.

@repilhan.bsky.social @smith.senate.gov @klobuchar.senate.gov I wish the elected reps would call out this blatant behavior. Especially from the DOJ and AG whose office is supposed to adhere to a higher standard of non-partisanship.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

To put it another way, I have represented thousands of people. I cannot think of a single instance in which the initial police report was entirely correct. Not one.

Journalists, please stop copying them down as if they were. Or at least give context re credibility!

Matthew Guariglia @mguariglia.bsky.social · 2d

Whether you're a casual news reader or a breaking news reporter at the NYTimes, I implore you--please, please, please--do not believe or report DHS/ICE/CBP's side of events uncritically. End the state's monopoly on legitimate storytelling. They are not the objective arbiter of what really happened.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

Pam Bondi is simply no match - intellectually or ethically - for Adam Schiff.

Watch this must-see clip as he dissects and exposes her pathetic performance today.

When she realizes how badly he is rolling her, she tries to interrupt. But it’s to no avail. She knows that he has her dead to rights.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

Music performance. I'd read that a cover is better usually if performed at a faster tempo. I think Margaret Glaspy doing her own song is great at 1.20 or 1.25 times faster. Click gear icon, to adjust. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iFQ... I wonder if on repeated listens we anticipate and want it faster.

American citizens getting thrown in jail cells because of ICE goons. @klobuchar.senate.gov @smith.senate.gov @repilhan.bsky.social @mprnews.org @startribune.com Your bosses might be able to affect this even if you don't feel like you can. Please bring this up when speaking with them.

"[A]gents engulfed my car in tear gas, smashed my driver-side window, and pepper-sprayed my face.... I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. No explanation. No charges. No apology. One day, I was just told, 'you’re free to go.'" #KavanaughStop

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

NEW: Second, expanded TRO issued in Oregon case challenging Trump's National Guard deployment to the state bars any state or D.C. National Guard being deployed to Oregon.

Update at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/judge-bloc...

[Update, 11:45 p.m.: By Sunday night, a second temporary restraining order was issued in the case, barring the Trump administration from sending any National Guard federalized under 10 U.S.C. 12406 to Oregon from any state or D.C. The move followed actions by the Trump administration overnight to send members of the California National Guard to Oregon and plans to do so as to the Texas National Guard as well.

At a hastily called hearing on Sunday night, Immergut harshly questioned the Justice Department lawyer before her, Eric Hamilton, asking him — while noting that he is an officer of the court — “Do you believe this is appropriate way to deal with my order?”

Issuing the second TRO in as many days in the case, Immergut called the Trump administration’s actions in apparent response to her first order “in direct contravention” of it.

@klobuchar.senate.gov @repilhan.bsky.social @smith.senate.gov @mprnews.org To the elected folks, please get outside your comfort zone and be more vocal against the authoritarian efforts of the stooges at the white house. To mprnews, protests are real news that are worthy news-making topics.

One of the things I took away from the 60s and Richard Nixon, first mentioned by Hunter Thompson, but I believe to be true, is the fact that we believed, at time, that all our protesting, marching and sign waving was futile and pointless when in fact, it drove Richard Nixon to alcohol fueled madness
