I worked for DOJ. I don't think people realize how dangerous it is for the White House to takeover the daily operations of the Justice Department.

What we have now is a two-tiered society with a wealthy few at the top and the vast majority of Americans struggling to make ends meet.
It’s corrosive to our economy and democracy.

Not to worry, there’s a method to Trump’s madness. We’ll win the next war because the other side will be too busy laughing at us to fight back.

The Trump administration is violating the Constitution, committing war crimes, attacking citizens, inciting violence, hurting children, abusing power, inciting war, committing fraud, using racial profiling, and is shielding a known rapist. This is a criminal organization from head to toe.

The horrific materials in the Epstein files—combined with a chaotic release and a politicized Department of Justice—are a "recipe for inspiring potent distrust and resentment," @cwarzel.bsky.social argues:
The Epstein Files Only Get Worse

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.
Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.
Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.

This is sinister. If you're wondering why so many people don't report sexual assault, this is why.
jesus the Palm Beach Police really sought arrest warrants against underage Epstein victims for coming forward and cooperating, and (purported) admitting to crimes, and it caused the victims to become uncooperative with the federal investigation
![. . . very cooperative, but the police at that point had to let [redacted] know that what she had done that she could be facing charges.
Q And that was after they had told her earlier that she didn't need an attorney present, correct?
A Exactly.
Q Okay. So this happens to her with the Palm Beach Police Department and did the Palm Beach Police actually present or propose charging [redacted]?
A They did get a probable cause affidavit against [redacted].
Q And is that why Ms. [redacted] and her attorney were concerned about her testimony here?
A Yes.
Q Now was a subpoena issued for Ms. [redacted] on behalf of this grand jury?
A Yes, it was.
Q And before Ms. [redacted] would comply with that, did she -- did her attorney request some sort of order?
A Yes.
Q And what did he ask for?
A He asked for immunity for [redacted].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eoss3vmzem55cm5kuddhdmwn/bafkreiariijffjjrgfh26o22jjr76pwprinvnbpkcho5lyi2sucfbqlooy@jpeg)
