Pastor shot in the head by ICE agents sues Trump administration over First Amendment threats in Chicago www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

ICE getting tailed like it’s a heist movie. Chicago is turning the tables.

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials. I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

(🚨) BREAKING NEWS: Deranged Trump Lawyer Pam Bondi Says Americans Who Oppose Fascism Will Be Treated Exactly Like Foreign Narcoterrorists—Meaning That Summary Execution Via Domestic Military Strike Is on the Table

Jeffries to Lawler: "You're a complete and total embarrassment. You're embarrassing yourself and your district right now. And you're going down to defeat next year."

GOV. PRITZKER: “This is a convicted felon threatening to jail me? He’s an unhinged, insecure wannabe dictator. Come and get me.”

You’ve gotta be kidding me. This WaPo editorial presents a misleading revisionist history of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s criminal cases against Trump. Then it has the gall to compare that to Trump’s overt targeting of his perceived enemies. Really embarrassing stuff.

Out of control.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

"Putin couldn't do a better job" of attacking America. How do we know this isn't Putin's doing?

A friend, who went to law school at Northwestern, shared this today:

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in. Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators. The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

Prosecution of Comey looks headed to a dead end. "Federal prosecutors ... determined that a central witness in their probe would ... likely prevent them from establishing their case to a jury." abcnews.go.com/US/central-w...

I’m shocked.

Imagine that. www.wsj.com/health/pharm...

Thanks, New Yorker

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition? JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back R: Why not now? J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

She is not doing well

Their outrage always seems to skip the actual predators.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

By all means, indict Jack Smith on bullshit allegations and give him the trial that SCOTUS denied him. Poke the bear, Donnie. See what happens.

This strikes me as pretty bad

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

Update from the war zone in Portland.

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

In a scathing critique of President Donald Trump, Gov. JB Pritzker on Tuesday accused the Republican president of deploying National Guard troops to the Democratic cities of Chicago and Portland based on fixations that stem in part from his being mentally impaired.

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files. She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

TIME MAG - “The 69-year-old judge had received death threats in the weeks leading up to the fire…” (Stephen miller in particular has been lashing out at judges) time.com/7323442/sout...

A federal judge in Oregon delivered a second blow to the Trump administration’s effort to send National Guard troops to Portland by temporarily blocking federalized members of the National Guard from anywhere in the US being deployed to the state.

Mike Johnson: “Russ Vought takes no pleasure in this.” Mike Lee: “Russ Vought has been dreaming about this since puberty.” Watch the whole episode here: www.youtube.com/live/PkEOK7J...

Texas proudly invading Illinois. It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

Yes, very weird. 🤷🏼‍♂️
