Exactly what we need in the absence of a functioning U.S. Department of Justice. An organization of ex-prosecutors and investigators who can put cases together for future prosecutors who will restore accountability for corrupt federal officials and those who benefit from that corruption.

The Rule of Law Project@ruleoflawproject.org

We are facing a crisis of impunity. That's why we built The Rule of Law Project — to investigate unlawful conduct by federal officials, and work with state and local prosecutors to hold them to account. Watch Mark Blumberg and Brad Adams launch this new initiative on MSNOW with Nicolle Wallace.

Trump just threatened to withhold federal disaster relief from North Carolina if the state votes Democratic in the midterms. Let me remind you again: no president in history has politicized and weaponized natural disasters the way Trump has.

Attn Alaska voters: Some rural Alaska voting sites haven’t opened, while others opened late or had inconsistent hours, creating barriers for Alaska Native voters. Voters deserve reliable hours and clear information about where to cast their ballots.

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.

Thank you to the Pretti family for their courage. Minnesotans have not forgotten.

Minnesota Star Tribune@startribune.com

Alex Pretti's father delivered a message to U.S. Attorney for Minnesota Dan Rosen and Attorney General Todd Blanche: “Look in your heart and do what is right, share the evidence now so prosecutors can follow the facts and hold these men accountable. Do your job and stop shielding Alex’s killers.”

Trump admitted he blocked energy funding to punish blue states he lost in 2024, including $586 million for Illinois. Courts ruled it illegal. He's still blocking the money. Bipartisan permitting reform won't work if Trump ignores the law. He must reinstate the grants first.

🚨 Iowa Senate candidate Josh Turek calls out Republican Ashley Hinson over what he describes as a $400,000 campaign bus and a request for gas money. “I'm just in a small car just driving around Iowa.” “That is a Marie Antoinette level of ‘let them eat cake’ disconnect.”

CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

In newspapers around the world, the report that Donald Trump raped Béatrice Keul in an Atlantic City hotel room commands huge headlines. In US corporate media, it isn't reported. Ask yourself why that might be. Here's the front page of today's Süddeutsche Zeitung in Munich.

Shame on Palisades Hospital! ICE injured a man in Union City, brought him in, and got staff-only entrance privileges. Security and management then threatened a concerned community member. You're a non-profit meant to serve and protect this community—shame on you!

FLASHBACK — Republican Paul Weyrich (co-founder of the Heritage Foundation & ALEC): “I don’t want everybody to vote… our leverage in elections goes up as the voting populace goes down.” They’ve been saying it out loud for years. Please vote. 🗳️ 🇺🇸

HHS wants a new Medicare code that pays doctors extra only when they attribute a patient’s symptoms to a vaccine. Vaccine critics say doctors are paid to push vaccines. We aren’t. Under this code, we’d be paid to blame them. My new piece in @cidrap.bsky.social: www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...

Jeffrey Sterling, ex CIA: The military is punishing Maj Watson while claiming to follow the very rules that forbid it. Art. 13 of the UCMJ says no one being held for trial may be punished, and that pretrial confinement may be no 'more rigorous than the circumstances require to insure his presence'.

Trump has only allowed the transfer of 24 patriot missiles to Ukraine over the last 3 months. That is only 2 interceptors a week. Rather than ending patriot deliveries, Trump is sending a tiny amount so people can't complain he stopped while 95% of Russia's missiles still get to hit their targets.
