"We have to draw a line in the sand, respectfully, firmly, and without equivocation. This is not normal. This is not American, and this is not what the military is for," said Janessa Goldbeck, a Marine Corps veteran and the CEO of Vet Voice Foundation.

Unlike the Comey and James indictments, which were bullshit on their face, this case looks real and substantial. We'll have to see the actual evidence before we can assess how it may come out.

But no matter how it comes out, it's still an outrage. Not so much because it was brought ...
Happening now: DOJ has charged John Bolton, a former national security adviser to President Donald Trump who became one of his fiercest critics, for his mishandling classified material.

WIN: The Arizona Supreme Court unanimously upheld the state's Election Procedures Manual, rejecting the RNC's attempt to block its enforcement. The case now returns to an appeals court where it will weigh the RNC's challenges to other provisions of the EPM.

Each of us swore an oath to the Constitution. We are all watching what President Trump is doing with the uniformed military.

As people who have served, it’s important to speak out.

So on 10/18, let's do what we do best. Wear the red, white & blue. Wave the flag. Peacefully.

After driving down the market price of the overdose-reversing naloxone, we're now working to do the same for insulin.

California is taking direct action by supporting contracting for a quality, low-cost insulin supply — and we will keep fighting to slash costs for Californians.

"Even applying great deference to the administration's view of the facts, ... there is insufficient evidence that protest activity in Illinois has significantly impeded the ability of federal officers to execute federal immigration laws." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
We need not fully resolve these thorny and complex issues of statutory interpretation now, because we conclude that the administration has not met its burden under either standard.
Even applying great deference to the administration's view of the facts, under the facts as found by the district court, there is insufficient evidence that protest activity in Illinois has significantly impeded the ability of federal officers to execute federal immigration laws. Federal facilities, including the processing facility in Broadview, have remained open despite regular demonstrations against the administration's immigration policies. And though federal officers have encountered sporadic disruptions, they have been quickly contained by local, state, and federal authorities. At the same time, immigration arrests and deportations have proceeded apace in Illinois over the past year, and the administration has been proclaiming the success of its current efforts to enforce immigration laws in the Chicago area. The administration accordingly is also unlikely to succeed on this argument.

Trump was asked multiple times to return US classified documents to the Archives. He refused. The case had mountains of evidence.
As for #Jan6, we all saw what happened.
These weren’t politically motivated cases.
They were criminal.

A Manhattan federal judge on Thursday ordered the Trump administration to restore nearly $34 million in antiterrorism and security funding for the New York City subway and regional railroads that he said had been withheld illegally.
Judge Orders FEMA to Release $34 Million for New York Subway Security
The administration has refused to release the money because New York is a so-called sanctuary city. It was “a blatant violation of the law,” the judge wrote.

It’s almost surreal John Bolton is facing charges for the same kind of classified material mishandling that Trump did, yet the reactions couldn’t be more hypocritical.

Maxwell cannot be pardoned. It's disgusting she's getting special treatment for keeping quiet about Trump and Epstein. She's a evil monster who does not deserve a pardon. It shows everything u need to know about Trump that he would consider this.

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys.

"I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man."

It's a must-read:

Let this renewed threat against San Francisco be a warning to every community: Trump will not stop with L.A., Portland, D.C., or Chicago. Your city could be next.

Using our servicemembers for law enforcement is illegal, and I'm prepared to do everything I can to block this threatened deployment.

Until this week, no typhoon or post-tropical cyclone with hurricane-force winds has hit Alaska since 1965. And that was only the second time in recorded history.

The Pacific Basin is having a much more active than usual year.

Yet the media is mum on this and climate change.
