This is sick and a war crime.
To be fair, that was probably in the first hour.
Epstein survivors say they’re compiling their own client list. “We know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-led—for survivors”
IN-famous is when you're more than famous.
Hoping their voters are too stupid? I mean...🤷🏻♂️
Her tan is the wrong hue. Did she not get the memo?
Read about how Francis J. Allman, Chief Judge of Florida’s Second Judicial District, is an un-American censorial fascist thug worthy of contempt.
So our military just bombed a boat in international waters and extrajudicially killed suspected drug traffickers without so much as a conversation, let alone a trial? Then posted it on social media? And we’re all supposed to just trust their account?
Is this the guy who's Adam's apple is so ashamed of him that it's hiding under his double chin? The guy who has so much neck blubber that he looks like someone drew a cartoon chin on a sock puppet?
Not sufficient, no. But necessary.
That "Action" paragraph is like the headshot in this takedown. Ouch.
"I won't drive down the street"? Can't give me a ticket if I drive on the sidewalk! But seriously, the headline is stupid. I have plenty of trouble with traffic cameras (confrontation, sketchy calibration, discriminatory placement), but tickets surging? Stupid.
He'll close down a whole polling place for a day so he can performatively vote in person. Never mind that everyone else in the precinct will be closed out.
Because military lawyers don't have anything else to do? I mean, it's not like we're trying to start a war with Venezuela or invade our own country or anything. Ugh.
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
How awful for you. I was there a year ago and got murdered, several times. I got better.
Did a beaver write this?
No idea what this Oval Office announcement is. Could be resigning Could be apologizing because Stephen Miller molted all over the Residence and someone caught staff dumping the exuviae out of the window Could be clarifying that tariff revenue is really eleventy three trillion
Add in that the MN shooter might have been preventable if FBI and DHS hadn't refocused their domestic terrorism policing, and FBI didn't even MENTION the terrorist attack at CDC.
Was the injured person named Bivens?
And you know they'll cheap out and use a free one that they feed classified info into so it becomes part of the source code and everyone has access to all of our spies' names and addresses. Or do something stupid like use a personal license and then get sued by Claude.

But can they do reconciliation again? I thought they could only do that once a year or something? I may be off base. I mean, sure, they can just change the rules again because it's Calvinball.
I suppose the next question is whether any of the people illegally detained by National Guard troops have 1983 claims. I mean, I suppose none of them are named "Bivens", so probably not.
Thank you. I was hoping for this in real time, but at least when they try this in Chicago, it should be easier to tell them to stand down. Fingers crossed.
🚨BREAKING: A federal judge ruled Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s use of National Guard troops and Marines in Los Angeles earlier this year violated a federal law that prohibits using the military as a domestic police force. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
One of my Supreme Court reform takes is they should be completely barred from taking any outside income (incl. publishing deals) and it should be particularly frowned upon, normatively, to be writing books. Memoirs are for writing after you retire, not five years into a lifetime appointment.
The 2023 IRD wealth study found that the richest 300 people in NZ pay tax on income of 9.4%, versus 28% for someone earning $80k. Luxon Govt is removing the clauses of the tax law that allowed IRD to collect the study data. They don’t want you to know. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...
Shame on the courts for going along with the pernicious fiction that American national security required stripping employees of union protections
At least in the catacombs you have the chance for a safe exit. Most of the secret society stuff and underground sex party people would ignore you, but communicable diseases won't.
Because the only reason RFK Jr. is alive is because he is a good person. His wealth and privilege had *nothing* to do with his recovery from addiction, depression, and brain worms. What an asshole.
Is this because even the cult cannot ignore Jr.'s fondness for Bolivian marching powder?
How are his gums polling? Or his wife's singing?
This is what happens when you obliterate the presumption of regularity. Endless homework assignments because the court can't trust the government to follow orders in good faith.
Anna has had excellent coverage of this developing case in which the Trump administration tried to use the holiday weekend to secretly and illegally deport children.

Rudy Giuliani was HEROICALLY TEARING A WOMAN AWAY from the CLUTCHES of a WOLFMAN MOTORCYCLE GANG when FOREIGN TERRORISTS CRASHED his CAR and SHIT in his PANTS
Ok we sent our energies to the wrong spirits and hit Giuliani but it’s working guys keep going
Sorry food workers just know I've been there. I feel for you.
The "they will not replace us" crowd is pretty committed to the cause.
For my fellow Lovecraftians 😁
GORKA: Instead of blaming an inanimate object, which is the weapon, how about addressing the human being instead? KEILAR: DHS cut funding in July to the Minnesota Dept of Safety and the Hennepin Country Sheriff's Office in July that is the kind of funding used to assess mass violence threats
"Because he is ancting in violation of both the Constitution and statute, i.e. breaking the law?"
BREAKING: A federal judge has *blocked* the Trump administration from abruptly deporting 600 unaccompanied Guatemalan children — perhaps within a matter of hours — granting an emergency restraining order after advocates called the plan illegal + dangerous. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits
At first, I read this as, "Why do you appreciate *unicorns*?" It did make me appreciate unicorns more.

If every white male judge had to recuse himself from every case involving a member of the same fraternity the wheels of justice would have ground to a halt long ago

Yup and I already made my post that these mailers are fraudulent.

Was that anything like Ken Paxton having 3 principal residences? Or Tuberville living in Florida? Or Adam living in NJ?
I mean, since ICE is looking to meet quotas...

ICYMI — Republican Former State Senator just had his law license reinstated by the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Supreme Court of Tennessee after getting pardoned by Trump for campaign finance crimes. He pled guilty, only did 2 weeks. www.fox13memphis.com/news/brian-k...
AMOC collapse will make refugees of us all. And it could happen in our lifetimes. We use this precious, fleeting moment to fight for a sustainable, resilient, compassionate world. Or we end up with no world at all.
The nearly unheard-of event happened again for a third time in rapid succession.
This has happened more than once now. A GOP Senator bows to the WH on a key issue — for Ernst, the Hegseth nomination — for fear of being primaried out of their job, and then quits anyway. I honestly don’t get it.
I make this a net benefit for dems, but IDK. Could go either way? It'll give the GOP a chance to run someone even worse than she is without the public record of saying terrible things. We can hope the GOP stench sticks to them all, and Trump's drag is insurmountable.
Turns out setting up an immigration detention tent camp without legal authority in a protected swamp nature preserve with a dark sky designation, that had almost zero infrastructure, in the scorching hot Florida summer, during hurricane season, did not turn out well.

On Friday, the U.S. is ending its de minimis rule that made it easy for cheap goods to reach consumers. The change will affect roughly 4 million such packages processed each day.

I was renting a townhouse with one on a vaulted ceiling. I had to ask a neighbor who worked second shift if I could borrow a ladder. It started going off after 11 pm, and he got home a bit after that.

What was that saying about glass houses?
Rep. Mark Alford to his angry constituents: "If you didn't want to hear my lies, why did you come here?" #BlueCrew
Is this the one with the emergency application you said Roberts (unusually) didn't require reply to? Does that imply that Roberts knew the changes were coming? How unusual would it be for him to have that kind of foreknowledge?
Has anyone else noticed Google getting DRAMATICALLY worse in the last couple weeks? The number of hits for obscure queries has fallen off a cliff. I used to get pages and pages for just about anything I typed in. Now I'm lucky to get a handful of hits.
This is insanity. This is the sign of a government that has lost its mind.
Me, trying again, on how John Roberts gave Big Balls access to all our Social Security data. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzdH...
Repeat it for those at the back: Republicans on the Supreme Court gave the grandson of a Russian double-agent with ties to criminal hackers access to all of your social security data.
I gotta say, if they accidentally re-set the clock for him in their rush to illegally deport him, that would be awesome.
NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s return to the United States didn’t just end his saga in a Salvadoran prison, it may have given him a new chance to seek asylum. The latest on his new bid to stave off deportation. w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social t.co/KfLMrXhMxl

The reason Kilmar Abrego Garcia was not eligible for asylum in 2019 was nothing to do with the merits of his case. It was because of the one year filing deadline, which requires a person to apply for asylum within one year of entering the US. It's now been less than a year since he entered the US!
Thankfully voters love big corporations right now. This will be a very popular message.
The Trump administration's latest application for emergency relief from #SCOTUS (on foreign aid impoundment) rests on a contrived procedural emergency and a forfeited substantive claim—apparently banking on the view that the justices don't mind being played. My (very) deep dive, via "One First":
Rudy and Trump called his obstruction "process crimes", to mean not "real" crimes. Throwing a subway sandwich is a "processed meat crime", so it's not a "real" crime.
Sandwich crimes are legal now.
So the sandwich guy ... beat the wrap

What "cases" are they referring to? Is that supposed to be synonymous with "issues"? And it shouldn't be hard to identify foreign people? I mean, there's like 50k people, most of them Inuit or Danish, right? And in a country that small, everyone has to know who the cranks are?
Xinis: I think it's best for everyone to move toward that hearing. Everyone, including the president, has been telling the world they pan to deport Mr. Abrego to Uganda. They seem pretty firm on that. All indications point to the idea that we need to get this part of Mr. Abrego's case moving.
Well there you have it: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/u...
