Ms. Halligan, who took over on Monday after her predecessor quit rather than prosecute James B. Comey with what he believed was insufficient evidence, had a little trouble with the first two tasks. At one point, she entered the wrong courtroom. When she found the right one, she stood on the wrong side of the judge, then appeared confused about the paperwork she just had signed.

Ladies and gentlemen, the meritocracy

Every media outlet treating RFK with any level of respect is complicit in the destruction of science and deaths of millions

He is unqualified, unethical, and unforgiveable

I am not exaggerating when I say he is one of the most dangerous men in all of world history

Personally I am unfamiliar with any legitimate activity that requires switching license plates, which by the way is illegal.

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

Where the hell is it?

TBC I absolutely love Iowa and there is no other place I’d rather have had as my first stop in America.

It’s not a “big, beautiful bill.” It’s a cruel, irresponsible bill. It hurts low income & working class families, and it dramatically increases the debt & the deficit. And btw, if it’s so big & beautiful, why did they pass it in the middle of the night when everyone is sleeping?

Does she know she’s lying?

Give me your tired, your…

nice to finally agree with RFK Jr on something

Such a softie you are!

If you have to repeatedly break the law to arrest those you claim have broken the law, you’re not enforcing the law.

ICE has morphed into a terrorizing Gestapo-like goon squad.

They must be held accountable.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Can you spare a minute to help this campaign? The Vice President of the United States visit the President of Russia forthwith

Sign the petition?

We, the undersigned, for the sake of better relations, request that the Vice President of the United States visit the President of Russia forthwith. 

This must be done quickly, before the Easter magic wears off.

Can we take up a petition to have the vice president visit Putin next?

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that *you* are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back?

The answer is due process.

White House Ends a Regular Reporting Slot for Independent Newswires The move, which affects The Associated Press, Bloomberg News and Reuters, is another effort by the Trump administration to exert more control over the press corps that covers it.

The Trump administration said Tuesday that it would no longer reserve a regular slot in the presidential press pool for three independent newswires that have participated for decades, including The Associated Press.

What the fuck

Yeah, America wasn’t an economic power for the last century, that definitely checks out

A. The Government's Allegation That El Salvador "May Have Its Own Compelling Reasons To Detain" Abrego Garcia Is Forfeited And Meritless For the first time in Reply (at 4-5, 10), the Government contends, ominously, that El Salvador "may have its own compelling reasons to detain" Abrego Garcia and its "own legal rationales for detaining members of ... foreign terrorist groups like MS-13," and that those "reasons" and "rationales" may inhibit the Government from securing Abrego Garcia's return. These vague speculations are forfeited because they were never previously asserted and, in any event, devoid of factual support. There is no actual evidence that any nation has a criminal charge against Abrego Garcia. The only evidence is that he has never been charged or convicted of a crime in any country. And, of course, Abrego Garcia has not even lived in El Salvador since 2011—some 14 years ago-when he was 16 years old, rendering the Government's claim implausible. If the Government has evidence as to Abrego Garcia, it should say so. It refuses. As the (excerpt ends here)

Overnight, attorneys for Kilmar Abrego Garcia filed a short but satisfying bonus reply brief with SCOTUS, taking issue with two brand-new factual claims in the govt's latest brief. 🧵 www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

not one of these billionaire fuckstains like Howard Lutnick or the Space Nazi — or even fake billionaires like Donny Convict — have a single clue what it’s like to live in the real word. so what if the price of everything doubles? they won’t even notice. do you think Lutnick has ever had to choose between paying for medication, or paying the rent? ha fucking ha. these motherfuckers think financial collapse is good for you. hey, you’ll be able to pick up a few stocks on the cheap, and sell them when the market goes up, so what’s with all the bellyaching? with any luck, these assholes will lose bigtime, and be forced to survive in the economy they’ve inflicted on the rest of us.

What Cory Booker did wasn’t just about breaking a record or standing up for democracy—it hits different for Black folks.

Strom Thurmond spoke for 24 hours to block the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

Cory Booker, a Black man, shattered a segregationist’s legacy—and flipped the script.

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”
