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...

This DOJ is proving itself to be led by a bunch of political hacks - and thank goodness not all that competent ones (see eg the failed Information against Comey).

BREAKING: My take on the new Comey case - people are getting the analysis wrong in my view. substack.com/@weissmann/n...

TONIGHT: @weissmann.substack.com joins @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social on The #LastWord at 10pm ET.

A federal judge has indefinitely restored access to the White House for MS NOW, Politico, and CNN after Trump's ban last month. Ted Boutros Jr., the attorney representing the outlets, joined @nicollewallace.bsky.social on set today for his first public appearance since the ruling. WATCH:

Trump is testing the courts; cutting down trees on a DC golf course after a judge told him not to. A pretend apology when Trump’s ads ran at taxpayer expense after a judge ordered him to stop. Get up to speed, including on a new order issued tonight: joycevance.substack.com/p/its-more-t...

Billions of dollars’ worth of contracts predicting oil would fall and the S&P 500 would rise were placed about 15 minutes before Trump announced a U-turn on Iran in a post on Truth Social. CFTC staff began to investigate...then were told to lay off. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Come join me on the MSNOW show Answers With Andrew Weissmann, where I answer YOUR questions. Here is what’s on this week: www.ms.now/criminal-jus...

The right has been gloating that the #MeToo era ended, but we're due for a reckoning that's going to make that look like nothing by comparison.

DOJ’s civil rights division has hired a new class of lawyers. And it’s really quite unsettling. Here are some highlights from a @nytimes.com investigation. youtube.com/shorts/ZnqWM...

Because of course they did. And no one is even surprised.

Just as those drug company agreements haven’t really produced huge savings, so these new $500 checks to lnk.thebulwark.com/3TXW7k8 buyers aren’t actually a refund for supposed overcharges. Three guesses as to what they really are.

'DERANGED fantasy': @nicollewallace.bsky.social reacts to Trump's disturbing comments about Iran destroying American cities on today's show. If you missed it live, watch NOW on YouTube:

also inevitable, in a different sense. The family of Renee Good, the woman fatally shot by ICE agent Jonathan Ross, sues Ross + Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, Greg Bovino, and others, for her death. Will be first ensnared in a web of immunity claims but based on conduct might move forward.

"An American polity increasingly turning against Trump has started to connect the degradations of his presidency to the Court that enabled many of them."

"Among the first to appear before the judge was Angel, a 13-year-old. He had no attorney. “Would you like to request voluntary departure, or should I issue a removal order?” the judge asked “I don’t know,” Angel said, bursting into tears: “I have no one. I have nothing.” www.cnn.com/2026/09/28/p...

"You're living right next to people you're writing about. You're at the grocery store with someone who you just wrote about the worst day of their life. It's very tough business, and it makes people mad, but it is a vitally important part of our society..." nofilmschool.com/kill-bury-pr...

58 deaths. Outrageous. Should never happen in America.

"It was bitterly ironic to see Darline Graham demand that Smith, of all people, should feel ashamed....in today’s GOP, there is no shame."

What a great use of our judicial resources.🙄

Trump will not be held accountable for his illegal commercials. But it is still important that we recognize the commercials as illegal. There. Are. FOUR. Lights. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Also, what was the alleged link between the Hawks game and Willis? Was she there?? Or was the allegation that he went to see a game in Atlanta so it must have been a secret meeting with Willis? I’m so confused on the evidentiary logic
