Yeah, this man should not be allowed to practice law, and any failure to take away his ability to practice law after all of this would be a part of the end of the rule of law in America.

Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

ICE said Antonio Moreida jumped onto the hood of their vehicle. Now a local police investigation concludes that an ICE agent struck him with his SUV. The routine lying by ICE is the result of the example set by leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.

And grinning like a fool while he does so. Blanche is going to die old and grey on a steel slab in matching green set. A traitor to the law, his country, and the basic humanity the rest of us agree to live by.

Attorney General Todd Blanche says there's a "misperception that there's this separation and independence between the Department of Justice and the White House." "I work for President Trump."

Ouch. LA County files response to DOJ in court. LA County ran a sample of the DOJ list of so-called noncitizens registered to vote. 42.9% of sampled voters were canceled 71.2% of sampled individuals have never voted 25.8% of sampled voters record a place of birth in U.S.A.

I’d love a military/rules of engagement sort analysis from say a @thebulwark.com and Gen. @markhertling.bsky.social about whether this makes Musk a legitimate military target. Seems like if anyone else other than Musk did this…🤷🏼‍♀️

It’s astonishing that any of these men believe they have a future outside of serving serious time, let alone a future in politics.

My jaw is on the floor. Bailey, saying Trump is king and owns all govt documents (funded entirely by taxpayers) as his personal property forever and ever, is giving Kavanaugh vibes. And being a snobby prick about it? Wild recording!

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

Things got more insane just about as soon as I posted this last night. DHS is now arguing that we cannot even put the names of ICE officers in our lawsuit against those officers. Their position is that, if a defendant works for DHS, they cannot be named in a lawsuit. Never seen anything like it.

Jared@jaredmcclain.bsky.social

It's been a struggle for reporters to get DHS to provide the names of officers who violate people's civil rights. Now, in our case against DHS's construction-site raids, the government is arguing in court that its employees names are "confidential" and should not be made public during litigation.

I got really annoyed that so many stories about the "Cornell 7" case don't link to the underlying court documents. So I compiled the key filings from Jane Doe's civil suit and from a separate suit brought by one of the accused. Read them here: annabower.substack.com/p/read-the-c...

Suuuuper interesting, I was not tracking this. The judge found the law criminalizing noncitizen voting is a voter qualification statute, and therefore outside of Congress’s power. Surprisingly, this is an issue of first impression! Decision is here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

Sure would be nice if we had a Congress in session to handle the dementia spiral of a POTUS on a hair trigger. “Savvy“ isn’t it, but Mike Johnson knew what he was doing when he recessed until November. These 43 days are going to have a name in the history books, and it’s gonna be so dumb. Woof.

Trump banned three outlets from the White House hours after Natalie Harp showed him MS NOW clips he didn't like. @timmiller.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social see a president who's rattled, not one who's in control. "This is a move of somebody that is frustrated and just totally flailing."
