One thing we can say that we know for certain, no matter what abuses of power or corruption Trump engages in, Republicans in Congress will do and say nothing. Except that Susan Collins will continue to be concerned.

Tillis is spot on. The Senate can't confirm a Trump toady to succeed Powell at the Fed. The rest of the game is now out in the open, and it doesn't end well.

The president of the United States is extorting the Federal Reserve Board Chairman by threatening criminal prosecution if he doesn't lower interest rates.

DOJ is compromised, legacy media is cowed and Big Law is AWOL. As I wrote last year: "We are on our own."

🚨BREAKING: Our cameraman Jon Farina was just struck in the leg by a flash bang ICE fired at unarmed protesters in Minneapolis. "My leg is hurting!"

ICE also fired pepper balls and tear gas. This is happening in AMERICA. LIVE NOW ⬇️

Yes, when I think of voices calling for civic discourse and toning down the rhetoric, I think of the Trump administration. IN particular, I think of the guy who has routinely threatened to arrest elected officials who disagree with him.
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

I ran FBI shooting reviews. I’m sharing my concerns with CNN over the state of Minnesota not having access to evidence, and, what might happen when a shooting report draft gets to Washington:

Whether we're talking about Trump's starring role in the Epstein Files or a DHS Agent's shooting of a Minneapolis mom, the old saying remains true: innocent people don't hide evidence.

This is exactly right, Allison.
DHS was created to FIGHT terrorists, not to BE terrorists. It needs to be defunded by congress in 2027, and we should select candidates who run on that platform.

I heard a good point. If that officer felt “threatened” by that lady such that he had to kill her, he is too fragile to be a cop.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

1. The DOJ has not released 99% of the Epstein Files, in direct violation of the law

They claim the delay is necessary to review the files

But here is the thing: The DOJ previously claimed THE REVIEW WAS COMPLETE IN JULY

Let’s be clear: the Trump Admin is lying to the American people. This has never been about stopping drugs from coming to the US — it’s about grabbing Venezuela’s oil for his billionaire buddies. Trump has put American troops in harm’s way to boost oil company profits. Outrageous.
