Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

“CDC is over. It was killed. This administration only knows how to break things. They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s National Center on Immunization and Respiratory Diseases

"CDC is over": RFK Jr. lays off over 1,000 employees in Friday night massacre

JORDAN: Comey is where weaponization all started. 9 years ago he took the dossier--

BASH: But that's not what he's being prosecuted for

JORDAN: I'm just saying, you want to talk about weaponization, that's where it started

BASH: So this is retribution then

LATimes: Thanks to a robust recruiting effort in Latin America, there are thousands of Latino Mormons in Southern California. They have been hoping for support from church leadership, like Pope Leo is doing. But the Mormon leadership just tells them to obey the law (and send money).

New Republic: Discount Goebbels and House Majority Whip Tom Emmer say the upcoming No Kings non-violent protest is a “terrorist event” by people “who hate America”. They can kiss my tattered frogman ass, and I hope to see you all there.

This guy sat in on that trial and transcribed everything he was hearing, as it happened.

A lot of the terminology flew over my head, but it sounded like the DoJ responded to all of the judges requests with “😕Uhhhhh…my dog ate it?😅” and other such ELOQUENT excuses for not doing their jobs.

At 10am, Judge Xinis will hold a conference in Abrego Garcia’s civil (habeas) case. I’ll cover for @lawfaremedia.org. Expected mainly to be about whether to grant Abrego discovery into, e.g., how the govt chose to try to send him Uganda or Eswatini (former Swaziland). ...

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman, who was thrown to the ground & handcuffed by ICE, has been released without charges

DHS said she assaulted an officer, but eye witnesses claim she didn’t

The lack of charges makes it clear that ICE is lying to try and cover up the fact that they attack the press

Only a foe would want this for America—or for the world.

It feels like we are in the thrall of heartless, unrecognizable enemies bent on the degeneration, immiseration, and destruction of humanity.

NPR: ICE thugs with badges say assaults on them are up sharply since June. The White House hysterically claims assaults are up “1,000%”. There is no evidence whatsoever that these wild claims are true.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.
