New in PN: You cannot trust the federal government "The FBI has proven it can’t be trusted to provide narrative-free evidence to the public. This is par for the course for the rest of the govt under Trump, which can’t be trusted at all because everything in it exists only to serve Dear Leader."

In defense of President Trump’s decision to deploy National Guard troops in the nation’s capital, the White House has put out a “fact sheet” of scary statistics on crime in Washington, DC. It’s about what you’d expect: a bunch of brazen, lazy, easily disproven garbage.

🧵 Adam Kinzinger is right: the 2nd Amendment was never meant to let a president weaponize militias against states. That is dictatorship. A militia that answers to a wannabe tyrant is no safeguard, it’s a coup in uniform. We can’t stay silent. Scripts in thread. @adamkinzinger.substack.com

The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.

A full investigation must be done into Pam Bondi and Emil Bove And who gave them their marching orders.
So basically DOJ was flagrantly violating the court’s order, as Sotomayor notes (her dissent was before this came out), but this is even worse: It’s a coordinated effort by top DOJ leadership to ignore court order; to mislead lower court in filings; to deflect on another agency; then to cover it up.

For no particular reason, I thought I’d remind folks about the time Trump reposted a full-size, full-color image of a truck that was “decorated” with an unconscious Joe Biden, arms and legs bound as though he’d been kidnapped, during the campaign. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Trump is literally taking credit for things that were announced when Biden was still in office.
Jessica: We have big headlines, getting investment like $8.5 billion out of Qatar, that was already announced in 2023 and 2024. Abu Dhabi, he says $200 billion… announced during the Biden administration… He likes to show up and take credit for things other people did

Only Alito and Thomas voted to let Trump deport migrants using a law from 1798. With 24 hours notice and no real chance to fight it. No hearings. No due process. This isn’t judicial restraint. It’s judicial sadism. They don’t defend the Constitution they defile it.

Trump's DOJ, because not enough kids are slaughtered in school (apparently), has decided to permit the sale of a device that transforms semi-automatic rifles into virtual machine guns. Is this the America you want for your family? These people are monsters. 😭 www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
