What the Attorney General of the United States seems to not understand, but the people who matter do, is that Congress hasn’t given DOJ any authority to block states from certifying the election. This isn’t a thing. And we don’t have to pretend it’s a thing just because he says it’s a thing.

🚨🚨🚨 Q: Is there any scenario in which DOJ would try to block states from certifying the election? AG TODD BLANCHE: Yes, of course. It is not DOJ's intention to improperly interfere with elections or the state certification process, but ...

Trump's Attorney General Todd Blanche: There was this misperception that there's this 'separation' and 'independence' between the Department of Justice and the White House and everybody likes to accuse me of not suffering from independence. I don't. I work for President Trump.

A 13-year-old Honduran boy identified as Angel appeared in court Monday without a lawyer. The judge said he didnt qualify for asylum and asked him to make a decision “I don’t know,” Angel said before beginning to cry. “I have no one. I have nothing” Cruelty is THE point.

The Interview Trump doesnt want you to see. “If Kimmel or Colbert want to continue to do their programming,” [FCC Chairman Brendan] Carr said, “and they don’t want to have to comply with this requirement, then they can go to a cable channel…“ #Talarico #Colbert #Kimmel #FCCcensorship #BrendanCarr

Congress shall make no law … prohibiting the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Tom is Maga. Maga hates the Constitution. And certainly doesnt under stand it.

WELKER: Noem called it an "act of domestic terrorism." What's the evidence? HOMAN: If they didn't have sanctuary policies-- W: To be clear, is anyone who protests ICE a domestic terrorist? HOMAN: It's case by case. If you look at the definition of terrorism, it certainly could fall within it

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

@hulu @disney+ @disney @ABC Your unwillingness to stand for Freedom of Speech leaves me unwilling to support your business anymore. Kathleen Graham stood up to Richard Nixon. You cant for a second stand up to Donald Trump. What kind of Americans are you? Your belief in this country is weak.

In a sign that thing arent going well with Zelenskyy Trump now seems to want him ousted. Hold tight and True Europeans and Ukrainians. Dont give in.

NOELREPORTS@noelreports.com

US President Trump sees Zelensky as an obstacle, not a partner. Behind closed doors, Trump is reportedly trying to force Zelensky to resign through political pressure, with no new US weapons for Ukraine as long as he's in office, Bild writes. www.bild.de/politik/ausl...

@mcfaulmike.bsky.social: “Trump, Vance & others either have forgotten or never knew that Zelensky signed a ceasefire agreement with Putin in 2019. Three years later, Putin launched his full-scale invasion. So, signing another ceasefire with no security guarantees feels like suicide for Ukrainians.”

I personally some Zelensky Blew it in my own circles. My belief is whatever their information silo is (fox, fb, patriots dot win) sold that to them. Or as @joshtpm.bsky.social so eloquently points out its a bit of ‘father knows best’ syndrome in this country…

Josh Marshall@joshtpm.bsky.social

Lemme share something with you. A lot of semi-Trumpy types are saying Zelensky blew it. All he had to do was show up, shake hands, say Trump is great and sign the docs. He couldn't do that. But there are also people in DC who are not Trumpy who are saying the same thing. Now, big picture this ...

Georgia. McCormick compared [townhall] attendees to “Jan. 6ers who are yelling just as loud as you” — a reference to the pro-Trump mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol. That triggered a fresh outburst from crowd members insulted by the comparison.
