"Halligan is finding out that prosecuting a case is harder than it looks — particularly when that case has already been rejected by seasoned prosecutors as unwinnable. Add in that it will be tried on the fastest federal docket in the US, and you’ve got the makings of a total humiliation in court."

The 1,287,923 defects in the Comey case ... so far

Welcome to the Rocket Docket, Lindsey Halligan!

Trump and his Administration are openly calling Americans terrorists, invoking the Insurrection Act, and saying they'll do to protestors what they're doing to Venezuelan fisherman (blow them up without due process or evidence).

Meanwhile, we have Chuck Schumer writing stern letters.

Your immigrant neighbors and co-workers are not your enemy! tRump and the Republican party allowing ICE to spread fear using terrorist tactics are the enemy of the United States of America.

We can NOT afford to be complacent about what’s going on in our country right now.
Sure, the thought that we could be arrested for protesting against the government is scary, but our democracy and lives are at stake!
Go out there and make your voice heard!

SCOTUS looks ready to erase another key piece of the Voting Rights Act, this time by striking down Louisiana’s Black-majority district for “relying too much on race.” Let me translate…they’re opening the door for states to erase Black and Latino districts that usually vote blue.

U.S. AG Pam Bondi has basically said anyone visiting the US is subject to arrest and incarceration at any point, if law officials deem the individual a “threat”.

Bang goes the rest of the international tourism trade!

And yet, both Alaska GOPQ Senators, vote for everything Trump wants.

Lisa gives a lot of lip service as she harms the people of Alaska, and Alaskans keep signing up for more with their votes.

This looks like a MAGA problem to me.

Last week Noem tried to turn airports into propaganda theaters, w/ security checkpoints playing video blaming Democrats for the govt shutdown. 19 major airports, including JFK, Seattle-Tacoma, Phoenix, Denver, Boston-said no. The Hatch Act (the LAW) prohibits such abuse
#USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

They Ordered Propaganda. Airports Said No.

American airports are holding the line for Democracy against the Trump propaganda machine. 🔥 Let's help by sharing these awesome videos! 🔥

What do I know and I'm not saying it's a magic bullet or anything like that but it sure seems to me that Dems should run hard on the Argentina bailout. Not anywhere near the worst thing Trump has done, but i suspect it's unusually clarifying.

Jeffries: "It's perplexing to us that Rs refuse to spend a dime to protect the healthcare of the American people, but somehow the Trump admin found $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina in ways that are also going to continue to hurt our soybean farmers in Iowa & the Midwest"

Trump doubles the bailout to Argentina, now $40 billion, and Argentina takes all China’s soybean orders away from our American farmers - 7 million tons. Was it Argentina first?

Trump’s shutdown is abuse of power. Democrats’ CR reins him in: blocks his budget games, ends DHS slush funds, restores ACA subsidies, funds PBS, and installs oversight.

Congress protects people, Trump protects himself.
