The amount of illegal this is is a lot.
SCOOP—In August, nearly 200 current/former FEMA staffers published the Katrina Declaration, a whistleblower letter detailing all the dangers posed by current leadership.
All current employees were put on indefinite leave, and now I've learned one has been fired in violation of federal protections:

FEMA employee terminated for signing whistleblower letter
It appears to be a major violation of federal whistleblower protections and constitutional rights.

Awful. Trump admin is deporting a 23-year-old NC woman who came here at the age of 14 as an unaccompanied minor. Her father was murdered and mother died of cancer. All she has are two traffic citations, per this report from Charlotte Observer's Dan Kane:

Let me tell you what the upshot is from the now-dropped Georgia January 6 case:
A rich white man can with impunity plot to overthrow our government with 18 co-defendants—in a plot with a death toll—if a Black woman involved in the investigation had inadvisable sex.
*That* is how racist America is.

The 2020 Georgia election case is going to be dismissed in its entirety, with the prosecutor offering less-than-persuasive reasoning. A miscarriage of justice that weakens our democracy.

I'm sure she's fine with this—as if she's anything else, or takes any action to interfere in this situation, she needs to resign today. America can't have government officials who adopt one policy for their friends and family and one for strangers. She either needs to say this is fine or quit today.

To be clear, Skandalakis assigned this case to himself. And I disagree with his assessment.
Anyone with this kind of bullshit take of that infamous "find me 11,780 votes" call to Sec. of State Raffensperger was never going to prosecute Trump, Meadows, & the other defendants:

Trump can still be impeached for it, though.
His first impeachment was for the Ukraine extortion, his second for January 6th
Third time’s the charm?

The prosecutor who recently took over the Georgia election interference case against President Donald Trump and others said in a court filing Wednesday that he has decided not to pursue the case further. https://to.pbs.org/4rlBdYb
New prosecutor won't pursue charges against Trump, Giuliani and others in Georgia election interference case
Legal action against Trump was unlikely to proceed while he is president but 14 other defendants, including Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows, still faced charges.

Notice that MAGA never refers to Putin as a “warmonger.” You know, the guy who started the war, bombs civilian population centers daily, & refuses to sign a ceasefire. Nope, according to MAGA, Putin isn’t the warmonger - it’s the people who support Ukraine’s refusal to surrender.

"Reasonable minds could differ as to how to interpret" Trump's call to Raffensperger, writes Skandalakis in his memo dropping the case, without quoting any portion of the call. Here's his assessment at left, and an excerpt from the call, at right.

The fact that only 3 (by my count) Republican members of Congress have spoken out about the Witkoff situation shows how thoroughly corrupted and compromised the entire party has become from top to bottom. None of this is about just Trump - it is the entire political party.
