Hitting me hard. In Vienna my grandmother hid my mother from Russian soldiers known for raping and worse during the occupation, after the Nazis did the same in WWII. My grandfather had been forced to flee to Poland because he refused to join the Nazi party. He walked back a skeleton after the war.
why the hell are they confirming trump's judges when trump's speaker of the house won't swear in Grijalva?
By a vote of 66-32, the #Senate invoked cloture on the nomination of Harold D. Mooty III to be US District Judge for the Northern District of Alabama.
May it be so.
He can control the DOJ. The IRS. The FBI.
But not the foreign banks about to expose his money trail.👇

a functional press would, every single day, repeatedly, across numerous paragraphs in every story about him, make it clear that this is indisputably the most corrupt President in U.S. history
Trump: "It's awfully strange to make a decision where I'm paying myself. But I was damaged very greatly and any money I would get I would give to charity."
The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no evidence they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had proof, they’d face a court, not a drone.

The law still applies, even to suspected drug traffickers, and right now, the Administration’s story isn’t adding up.
The Inspector General system is basically broken now. Most IGs have been fired, most positions remain vacant. Those who remain or would take the job pose no risk to holding the regime accountable.
Congress added more barriers to Trump firing IGs after his first term. He just ignored them.
Rand Paul: There is no fentanyl made in Venezuela. Not just a little bit, there's none being made... These are outboard boats that, in order for them to get to Miami, would have to stop and refuel 20 times... We don't just summarily execute people.
States have power.
Important to note that it's New York STATE that brought charges against the J6er that threatened Hakeem Jeffries. Not the DOJ.
DOJ declined to bring charges against two people who threatened to kill @ericswalwell.bsky.social this year, @nbcnews.com reports: www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...
Hold that thought…
A fun fact is that Roman Emperor Nero's successors sought to erase him from history in a practice known as damnatio memoriae, including by dismantling parts of his extravagant "Domus Aurea" palace.

And it kind of feels like we'll have an opportunity to do something similar again here in the US 💁‍♀️
The destruction of the East Wing really bums me out in a way that I wasn't expecting.

I guess some of it is about the destruction of history. But I think it's mostly about the feeling of helplessness. There's nothing we can do to stop him.

Nobody is coming to save us. And it's going to get worse.
What is wrong with this country!?
3 small children run to escape ICE raid in Idaho manage to find family.

"I didn’t get caught," boy says. "Nobody got some handcuffs on me."

Dozens of minors were among hundreds detained zip tied and separated from parents.
I don’t understand why anyone’s debating this — a Nazi tattoo is a non starter, full stop.

This is a race for a U.S. Senate seat. The bar for candidates to clear doesn’t have to be insanely high, but it should at least be off the ground
Here's Mike Davis talking about his "buddy" the local US attorney convening a special grand jury in Fort Pierce, FL, targeting "lawfare Democrats who waged this unprecedented, Republic-ending Russian-collusion hoax conspiracy against President Trump, his top aides, and his supporters."
I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.
If North Carolina enacts this new map, it will be sued.

I don't bluff and I usually win.
North Carolina moved closer Tuesday to dismantling a historically Black congressional district in a move one of its former representatives described as “blatant discrimination.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Both the U.S. marshal and the immigrant were shot by federal officers. You’d never know that from this headline.
