He could not care less about the struggles of Americans. Keep talking, Donald. Soon you’ll find out what the majority thinks of your sociopathic indifference.

The gang that couldn't shoot straight. Federal grand jury rejected DOJ's attempt to indict former WH aide Cassidy Hutchinson. A manifestly just result, but really how low can they go? My previous substack: harrylitman.substack.com/p/bring-me-t...

"Even by the standards of this administration, the pursuit of Cassidy Hutchinson may be its nastiest and most repulsive move yet. . . The hounding of Hutchinson has an outsize moral dimension that lays bare the rot at the heart of the administration." harrylitman.substack.com/p/bring-me-t...

That’s a staggering fact to take in: About 1/3 of U.S. counties are now contractually partnered with ICE—to say nothing of all the counties assisting ICE more informally. I wrote recently about what this type of collaboration can do to communities: boltsmag.org/frederick-co...

No one is buying what the hollowed-out DOJ is selling.

This is highly suggestive of a senior government officer on the take. “Hegseth reported at least $3.1mn in cash, retirement investments and bitcoin in his newly released 2025 annual financial disclosure. One bank account held more than $1mn, compared with a normal $15,001–$50,000 range for an

The Trump DOJ citing the *preamble* to a 1993 federal law about voter registration for the proposition that Trump can demand that federal judges preemptively overturn an election result is, even in Trump DOJ-adjusted terms, one of the craziest legal arguments I've ever read

I'm running out of ways to convey how unserious the lawyers at Trump's DOJ are. The dregs of the conservative legal movement firing up ChatGPT to cobble together harebrained arguments that would be embarrassing for a junior law firm associate. Get these losers out of my face.

Every time I feel pangs of concern about voting for Abdul, Rogers will do something unbelievably stupid & awful to remind me of why I did so.

Unearthed email from Mike Rogers says that a vote for him protects Elon Musk: "When you stand with my Senate campaign today, you are directly shielding Elon Musk... Protect Elon and save America."

So every Democrat voting for Mike Rogers and supporting, Mike Rogers is shielding Elon Musk. Great work!

just heartbreaking stuff Alex Pretti's mother calls out ICE and the Trump administration for killing her son and smearing his name, and calls for justice to be done.

Netanyahu is sounding utterly desperate today. He's posting non-stop about high Arab voting turnout to create hysteria and fear. He also released a video statement claiming "They are trying to steal the election from us!" Arab Israelis make up 21% of the Israeli electorate.

Watch: youtu.be/Y7qF0L4I-zk

Rebecca Cooke on Derrick Van Orden: “He's gotten drunk in his official office, yelled at Senate pages, carried a loaded gun through TSA... I mean, he's really out there.” Cooke also slams his “six votes that he took to continue this war in Iran” as Wisconsin families face rising prices.

Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East! Look, there's elections! Unless you're a Palestinian from East Jerusalem, no polling station for you.

Turnout in Israel is currently 44.9% — the highest ever recorded at 2pm in Israeli history. I'm optimistic this means the end of Netanyahu. Polling won't have reflected just how many will decide on the day that they cannot vote for the man who presided over the biggest slaughter of Jews since WW2.

"So, in Alaska, if Peltola wins, her victory is inherently suspect and must be investigated. And in Minnesota, if Flanagan bests Tafoya, her victory is inherently suspect b/c Trump has declared that Tafoya can’t lose, period, unless Dems cheat. This is the long, stupid shadow of the 2020 election."

Bale Dalton: My opponent says that the war in Iran and rising gas prices are the cost of freedom. Well, I'm pretty sure that we had freedom before entering into this war of choice in which the only thing that is a viable alternative of getting out is a worse situation than when we got in.
