BRENNAN: What are you going to do to force DOJ to comply?
MASSIE: The quickest way and most expeditious way to get justice for these victims is to bring inherent contempt against Pam Bondi. That doesn't require going through the courts. We're drafting that right now.

The Rules of Grief
The post-Kirk purge was never about decency. Trump's response to Rob Reiner's murder proves it.

They're shifting the balance of power among the top generals.
Consolidating the power under Hegseth.
It's the Praetorian plan.
It's no longer about serving America.
It's about enforcing the emperor's will.

Pentagon plan calls for major power shifts within U.S. military
If adopted, the changes would fulfill Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s pledge to disrupt the status quo and slash the number of four-star generals.

We are being ruled by sadistic monsters.
ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.
Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.
They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.
Another horrific story.
More details below.

i am fascinated by how nate silver turns everything he doesn’t like into a bespoke ideology. it’s not that he is annoyed by HCR, it is that she is a dreaded “ism” responsible for everything he doesn’t like about the democratic party. same with bluesky.
