BREAKING: DOJ has failed to indict Letitia James for a THIRD time! It's like Christmas around here!
Do it. Take these to another grand jury. Then a 2nd and a 3rd, until we get a breaking news story about how much you suck at this. And if you do manage to get a true bill, we can watch you lose again in pretrial motions. Do it! I live to watch you lose! www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

Books about “Asian wife sharing.” Detailed descriptions of orgies. Scenes involving “ladyboys.”

That’s what @dfriedman.bsky.social discovered on a Goodreads page tied to the email address of a top Pentagon official and mentor to Pete Hegseth.

What came next was even wilder.
I asked the Pentagon about Pete Hegseth's mentor. Then the threats started.

"Seven German journalism students tracked Russian-crewed freighters lurking off the Dutch and German coast—and connected them to drone swarms over military bases."
Well done by the students. How come the authorities didn't figure this out? Or did they just not tell us about it?

I saw a video clip this morning of an American veteran who said masked agents stopped his car as he was driving to work, broke out his window, sprayed chemical agents into the car, took him to detention, held him for three days with no due process then released him with no explanation. WTH?!!

During the Obama administration, we sued to force the release of the flawed legal analysis they used to justify illegal drone strikes abroad.

Now we’re suing the Trump administration for the secret memo they claim allows them to murder civilians at sea.

Sean Hecker, Kilmar's attorney, once hailed how much courage it took Kilmar to challenge what DOJ/DHS is doing to him. That stuck with me. Kilmar Abrego is just some guy, vulnerable in a way most of us are not.

But he has taken on Trump and ... thus far at least, prevailed.
"Today’s ruling is a powerful affirmation that the rule of law still matters," Sandoval-Moshenberg said. "The Court made … clear that the govt cannot detain a person indefinitely without legal authority, and that every agency involved must now comply fully and promptly with the Court’s directives."
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is released from ICE custody following judge's order
Judge Paula Xinis of the U.S. District Court in Maryland ruled that the Trump administration lacked the legal authority to continue holding Abrego.

Trump’s America.

Mubashir is a 20-year-old Minneapolis resident and a U.S. citizen. ICE assaulted him and grabbed him off the street anyway.

Cruelty and incompetence, and an unlawful detention. A kidnapping. ICE gets to do this with zero accountability.

One way to make Trump pay for trying to indict those who tried to hold him accountable is to make sure it backfires, to make sure his prosecutions make those targets rock stars.
