It's a no-brainer that her appointment is invalid. So the question becomes, is the indictment (on she was the only lawyer signatory) invalid as a result—and, if so, is it too late for the Trump DOJ to remedy that problem, given that the statute of limitations ran on Sept. 30.

James Comey formally notifies the court of his intent to try to disqualify Trump’s lawyer Lindsey Halligan as unlawfully appointed.

The motion cites rulings DQ-ing two other Trump top prosecutors: Sigal Chattah and Alina Habba.

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

There is simply no equivalent, not even close, of this anywhere on the center or far left. There is no ‘both sides’ here, media.

"Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party’s next leaders."

Can't call them fascists?

“The upcoming No Kings has set off klaxons for Republican lawmakers…Some in party leadership are going further by branding it a pro-terrorism demonstration—an unambiguously false allegation meant to get ahead of a potentially massive protest against the president.”

When I studied the Second World War I genuinely could not understand how the Germans found so many people to participate in their worst excesses. And I mean across the whole war, not just concentration camps.

I don't have a problem understanding it any more...

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

The more GOP officials and right-wing hacks try to spin and pivot from their Young Republican leaders praising Hitler and racism and gas chambers for their enemies, the more it puts the story in the spotlight.

Keep at it!

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

Just one "verified" Tren de Aragua member and one U.S. citizen with an active warrant were among the 37, DHS said, without saying how it had verified that gang affiliation. Others taken that day, the agency said, were "illegal aliens."

NEWS: Trump is inching closer to illegally invoking the Insurrection Act.

If ever there was a moment for America’s governors — especially in Blue States — to hold an emergency summit, it’s now.

The federal government is plotting invasions of their states.

We didn't do anything extraordinary here. Sure, I wrote a nice script, and my friend @barubin.bsky.social did a fantastic job overlaying visuals. But what we're saying is pretty obvious.

What I wonder is why *we* have to say these things as opposed to, I don't know, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social?

This is excellent. Every Dem strategist who thinks there's risk in engaging these debates should watch it for guidance.
