Goldman: The notion that Tom Homan does official consulting business by receiving $50,000 in cash in a Cava bag is preposterous.

And the fact that they closed that investigation while charging Jim Comey and Tish James with bogus charges at Trump’s direction is completely destroying the DOJ.

Donald Trump is trying to fire nearly every federal worker who supports special needs education.

It’s kids with disabilities who will suffer.

The cruelty is the point.

The support from the VA literally saved my life.

You shouldn't have to go to Iraq, fight in a pointless war, and watch your friends die to get decent healthcare.

“.. They are the asylum seekers, the rule followers. They go into the federal building holding papers .. hoping for a measure of due process. Some leave the courthouse with a hearing date set months or years from now. Others disappear into ICE’s prison system.”

I keep thinking about how General Gronewold said that the Oregon Guard would protect Oregonian protesters. I would love to see the Guard stand in front of that blue line at the ICE building and protect protesters from the illegal and brutal actions of ICE. What a powerful image that would create.

Trump has launched seven deadly strikes in the Caribbean Sea.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

The USA is basically becoming El Salvador in real-time.

Sending another state's National Guard to beat down citizens in Portland.

An invasion in all but name.

The US is at war with itself now.

Ben Meiselas calls on those with standing to act: seek an injunction to halt Trump’s White House ballroom. Argue fraud—Trump claimed he’d pay and not alter the structure—and use the damage to the East Wing as the emergency basis. Demand discovery now.

Yeah. So The White House
is designated a National Historic Landmark.

That means:

It’s formally recognized as having exceptional national historical significance.

Any substantial changes, demolitions, or new construction affecting it are tightly restricted.

It’s not his house! WTF.

They followed this up with dozens of disciplinary referrals of DOJ attorneys to the bar, right

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.
