Thankfully, Gov Newsom knows exactly how mentally ill Trump and his deranged minion JD Vance are and he shutdown I-5. Imagine if he didn't.

It's in the Constitution that giving aid and comfort to the enemy is considered treason.
Witkoff has been really working hard to give aid & comfort to our enemies, especially Russia.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor appeared to rebuke calls to target “hate speech” in an apparent swipe at Attorney General Pam Bondi.

“Every time I listen to a lawyer-trained representative saying we should criminalize free speech in some way, I think to myself, that law school failed,” said Sotomayor.

The justice, in public remarks, didn’t name the attorney general, who has come under fire for comments to target people over “hate speech.”

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

It will never not be crazy stupid & dysfunctional to me that the government of the United States of America is shut down just to keep its president from being exposed as a serial child sexual abuser.

A convicted felon who’s already pardoned and or commuted the sentences of thousands of convicted felons, just commuted the sentence of yet another convicted felon.

But the Democrats are the party of “criminals” right?
