Trump: "They have committed massive political crime. I hope they're looking at Schifty Schiff. I hope they're looking at all these people. And I'm allowed to find out. I'm in theory the chief law enforcement officer."

They have faster boats. The fishing trawlers this geriatric war criminal has been splashing apparently have the latest in racing boat tech and can outrun a helicopter and radio waves.

Q: Why not have the Coast Guard interdict Venezuelan boats?

TRUMP: Because we've been doing that for 30 years and it's been totally ineffective. They have faster boats.

I think Justin just covered the modern day Republican platform in 4 simple images.

Quite a day.

I wonder, sometimes, at how many dusty ass boxes you pulled out of storage or how many hours you spent staring at a microfiche reader navigating around an image, and I shudder.

Trump: I want to thank Stephen Miller I would love to have him come up and explain his true feelings. Maybe not his truest feelings. That might be going a little too far

Mamdani: "Absolutely, I will apologize to police officers. Because this is the apology that I've been sharing with many rank and file officers. I apologize because of the fact that I'm looking to work with these officers, and I know that these officers put their lives on the line every single day."

Federal Judge blocks shutdown layoffs.

DOJ lawyer refuses to defend cuts, merely argues jurisdiction.

Judge: “This hatchet is falling on the heads of employees all across the nation, and you're not even prepared to address whether that's legal?”
donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-shutdo...

UPDATE: A federal Judge has imposed a temporary block on RIFs during the shutdown, saying the Trump administration has:

taken advantage of the lapse in government spending, in government functioning, to to assume that that all bets are off, that the laws don’t apply to them anymore and that they can impose the structures that they like on a government situation that they don’t like. And I believe that the plaintiffs will demonstrate ultimately that what’s being done here is both illegal and is in excess of authority.

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

You, uhhhh, you might want to see a doctor about certain diseases of the social kind in that case. It wasn't called the hellfire club because it burned when he peed, after all.

Is this the aid that had this featured prominently on a zoom call? I think it said he worked for an Ohio congressman. You already know which party.

The only reason it is so striking is that it stands in utter contrast to the collapse of the White House Press Pool into a puddle of easily trod upon jelly.
