Sarah Longwell: "This is the Epstein administration because there are two types of people in it — there are people who are in the Epstein files and there are people who are covering up the Epstein file."

Aren't they trained not to walk in front of a car? He did it twice? He was 'skirted' but not hit. (She backed up first and then seemed to be making a hard right to avoid him ...)

Opinion | Trump’s crude remarks about Rob Reiner are unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize winner.

I am often asked what laws I would recommend blue states adopt. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach, there are seven changes every state could adopt right now, for virtually no cost or administrative burden. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/seve...

So….Is Kash Patel is sympathetic, and will Trump call him a patriot & pardon him?

That’s what he always says. He is either woefully uninformed or a liar.

Here is one of ~50 cases we documented of federal agents--usually masked and unidentified--smashing car windows to grab the person inside.

“She is pregnant!” a man screamed, as his citizen wife sat, terrified

The agents break three windows and grab the man

‘Teaching is the only job where you steal office supplies from home to bring to work.’ I’m retired, but I easily spent $1000 yr on my classroom. And the pay wasn’t great. And I had an M.Ed. Many 10 hour days…

By 2029 the GOP may have entrenched their coup by "legal" methods

Gerrymandering-permitted by MAGA judges

Changes in citizenship laws and deportations

Quashing dissent by jailing protesters

And radical "interpretation" of the Constitution

We still don't fully comprehend the danger America faces

We’ll be a police state on steroids.

Just as Iraq had no WMD, Iran has no nuclear weapons.

America has entered another unnecessary war in the Middle East

The officers who handcuffed Padilla need to be hauled in before Congress, made an example of, fired and arrested on live national television. They violated an American’s Constitutional rights and they assaulted a United States Senator.

Goldman: "These are people doing in the right way, who are nonviolent, noncriminal, and they're getting arrested. So what message does that send? Obviously it sends the message, 'Go further underground. Don't appear in court. Don't pay your taxes' ... that's just going to make the public less safe."

I think he means D.C. …I think everyone should stay away & make it a ghost town as someone else here has said.. But if it’s inevitable that confrontation is beginning, I regret saying we will have to meet the moment.

So are we just teaching our kids they have to obey anyone with a mask and an unmarked car and an oddly-fitting vest and zip ties now and go with them? Is this where we’re at?

Reminder that the Social Security Administration (per DOGE) instituted supposed anti-fraud checks for benefit claims made over the phone.

Only two out of over 110,000 claims had a high probability of fraud — a rate of .0018%.

But it slowed retirement claim processing by 25%.
