Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

I paused this video weeks ago, and it remains an open tab on my browser.

Every time I glance at my Mac's Mission Control mode to see all running programs, these distorted faces pop up.

It's unnerving but now I feel that it's essentially become a cubicle poster.

DA Fani Willis had a once-in-a-lifetime case, the most important of her career: a chance to criminally prosecute a lying president who tried to intimidate people into overturning the 2020 election.

She screwed up.

And now her replacement has killed it.

Trump and Habba are back on the hook.

It's fascinating to see him punished this way, even while he's at the White House.

According to the documents, FBI personnel clocked in a total of 4,737 hours of overtime between January and July. Of that, more than 70% occurred during the month of March while personnel reviewed the Epstein files, the documents show.

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:

“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

ICE’s spending on weaponry is up more than 600 percent over last year, dwarfing not only its spending during the Biden administration but also during Trump’s first term.

The FBI is apparently investigating Democrats in Congress.

But I spoke to former FBI employees who tell me that the speed and aggressiveness here indicate that special agents have skipped steps to get the job done.

When I saw this proposed list of witnesses who'd testify about the Trump DOJ's scheme to ignore Judge Boasberg's orders halting deportation flights in March, my eyes went immediately to Emil Bove.

Can you imagine a trial judge forcing an appellate judge to testify?

That would be incredible.
The lawyers in the Alien Enemies Act pending before Judge James Boasberg, who is proceeding with his contempt inquiry against the Trump administration, have recommended that he consider a number of "potential witnesses."

They include now-Judge Emil Bove.

This is an incredible image of comet 3I/ATLAS, taken by Satoru Murata ICQ Comet Observations group on 16 November 2025 from western New Mexico.

Structure within the major dust tail from the comet is clearly visible, together with two smaller jets trailing the nucleus and maybe even an anti-tail.

Donald Trump's revenge indictments are gone.

A judge also says Lindsey Halligan isn't really the U.S. attorney of EDVA.

And as if that's not enough, the judge says *local judges* will choose her replacement.

A stunning rebuke of Trump's vengeance tour.

Q: Why did you fly here? Aren't trains greener?

The judge concluded that "at some point, it becomes difficult, if not impossible, to believe almost anything that [DHS] represent[s]."

When federal agents blatantly lie — and we catch them — they lose all credibility.
THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.

I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

Look, lawyers draft these declarations all the time but the person signing it is supposed to be able to competently understand it and actually have the relevant knowledge asserted in the document.

Anything less is fraud.
