Now we're on a break while the magistrate deals with grand jury returns. Neville Hedley for DOJ civil rights division shows up. Magistrate Faruqui: Do you have a return for us? DOJ: It's a non-concurrence, your honor. [AKA a no-bill 😂😅☠️]

​With the midterms coming up & everything that has happened the last 9 months, I felt like I needed to post something. Ignorantly, in the past, I only voted in presidential elections. Now I am voting in any election I can. Alex stood up for his community so now it is time we stand up & fight back.

A protester yelled "Shove that ballroom up your fat ass" to Trump at his rally in Mississippi on Monday night. This clip contains two versions of the moment. The first is how it aired on a livestream. In the second I increased the audio for that moment.

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

Good on Monica Alba for persisting with a thoroughly legitimate question. Trump’s attack on her answered the question: Sexual abuse means nothing to Donald Trump. Zip, zero, zilch.

Trump repeatedly insults reporter for... reporting.  " Quiet. Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?"

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...

First, sabotage Ukraine. Next, act mystified about how it happened.

A stuttering Marco Rubio: “Nobody ordered that Starlink speed to be slowed down. It sorta happened.”

Please indulge me while I post this once more for folks who may be too busy during the week and only peek at Bluesky on the weekend. The NY Times invited me to explain why I think they're failing in their duty to warn the public about the danger of a dictatorship. And they posted the video online.

question for brooks: what if they are, literally, nazis?

"Jon Ossoff, my advice to him is, if you start calling your political opponents Nazis, maybe it's time to shut up. That's just not what we do here in this country." -- David Brooks, this evening. Remember, Brooks still gets very handsomely rewarded by the fossilized media for saying shit like this

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

With the Strait of Hormuz closed, Iraq has resorted to moving its oil across the desert to Syria in hundreds of tanker trucks, in true Mad Max style. From there, it will be shipped to worldwide markets.

This would be a great question to ask any Republican office-holder.

OMG -- under questioning from Hassan, Trump's FDA nominee Heidi Overton refuses to acknowledge that Trump can ever be wrong about anything even after she's confronted with a specific example of something Trump is clearly wrong about

In an Uber. Driver having loud phone conversation with someone in Spanish. A little annoying, but it happens. He hangs up. Says, “Mi hermano. La Migra.” And starts weeping.

Reporter on Bond Market: The yields have come back up since then. Have you talked to Bessent about another type of intervention.? Trump: The ultimate intervention is our military. And if we have to use that, we will.

EXCLUSIVE: Trump’s closest aide, Natalie Harp, declined multiple times over more than a year to seek a routine security clearance normally obtained by West Wing staffers to work at the White House, sources tell MS NOW.
