Just so you know, Judge Nachmanoff granted a habeas petition I filed last week. So Comey’s lawyers and me have put a pretty big hurt on Trumpist US attorneys offices.

Comey's lawyers want Judge Michael Nachmanoff to dismiss the case with prejudice, meaning the case cannot be brought for a second time.

97.5% of the people Trump arrested in Chicago had no criminal record
100% of the people Trump pardoned for Jan 6 had criminal records
The difference is the former are mostly Latino & the latter are mostly white. This is systemic white supremacy in 2025. If you still don’t see it, you’re complicit

Listen to this Border Patrol agent cry about how he's going to be DOXXED after being arrested for drunkenly barging into a woman's restroom with a loaded gun, demanding a date from the woman inside, and then punching the arresting officers.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

I have been actively watching contracts and surge funding over the last few days and what I would say to my friends in Baltimore is “be absolutely ready, right now.”

ICE grabs father by the neck—send him into violent seizure while his arms lock up around his toddler.
"He's having seizure and they're trying to rip the baby out of his hands!"
Agents then handcuff him—before putting in ambulance with his child.
Mother is detained by agents as target of arrest.
