This is what the Asst AG for Civil Rights is doing.
So many Amendments, so little time.
chrisgeidner.bsky.social Chris Geidner @chrisgeidner.bsky.social · 1d
BREAKING: The Trump administration is suing D.C. over its ban on semi-automatic (AR-15) weapons.

DOJ's Civil Rights Division under Harmeet Dhillon is seeking a court ruling that D.C.'s law "prohibiting registration of the AR-15 by law-abiding citizens violates the Second Amendment."
4. Specifically, the District denies law-abiding citizens the ability to register a wide variety of commonly used semi-automatic firearms, such as the Colt AR-15 series rifles, which is among the most popular of firearms in America, and a variety of other semi-automatic rifles and pistols that are in common use. See D.C. Code § 7-2501.01. Indeed, D.C's current semi-automatic firearms prohibition that bans many commonly used pistols, rifles or shotguns is based on little more than cosmetics, appearance, or the ability to attach accessories, and fails to take into account whether the 2 Case 1:25-cv-04458 Document 1 Filed 12/22/25 Page 3 of 9 prohibited weapon is "in common use today" or that law-abiding citizens may use these weapons for lawful purposes protected by the Second Amendment. See Heller, 554 U.S. at 47. Therefore, the District's restrictions lack legal basis. PRAYER FOR RELIEF 19 43. WHEREFORE, the United States hereby prays that the Court grant the 20 following relief: 21 a. A declaration that DC Defendants are engaged in a pattern or practice of 22 conduct by law enforcement officers that deprives persons of rights, privileges, or 23 immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States in 24 violation of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, 34 U.S.C. § 25 12601(b), including, but not limited to: 26 i. A declaration that the pattern and practice by DC Defendants of 27 prohibiting registration of the AR-15 by law-abiding citizens violates the Second 28 Amendment; and

JV DJT uses the epithet “globalists” to criticize the right wingers leaving Heritage because the Hitler-curious antisemitism there just got to be too much. I genuinely am undecided as to whether JV DJT is profoundly ignorant, or actively malignant. Could be both I suppose.
Donald Trump Jr. & @DonaldJTrumpJr X.com Personally, I think it's great news for Heritage that a bunch of Trump-hating RINOs are leaving.

For those of us warning about democracy's potential disintegration, the decision by CBS to pull an exhaustively researched 60 Minutes piece, critical of Trump, is another red alert moment.

When truth disappears as the media gets coopted by the regime, there's little left.

There’s an essay entitled “Thomas Paine: America’s Founding Shitposter” just waiting to be written for the 250th anniversary of Common Sense. bsky.app/profile/seth...
sethcotlar.bsky.social Seth Cotlar @sethcotlar.bsky.social · Aug 2
One of the rhetorical strategies Thomas Paine used in Common Sense (1776) was to paint the British monarchy as weird and absurd.
England since the conquest hath known some few good monarchs, but groaned beneath a much larger number of bad ones: yet no man in his senses can say that their claim under William the Conqueror is a very honourable one. A French bastard landing with an armed Banditti and establishing himself king of England against the consent of the natives, is in plain terms a very paltry rascally original. It certainly hath no divinity in it. However it is needless to spend much time in exposing the folly of hereditary right; if there are any so weak as to believe it, let them promiscuously worship the Ass and the Lion, and welcome. I shall neither copy their humility, nor disturb their devotion.

This year, we’ve closed 2,900 cases and returned over $12 million back to Michiganders. We have an amazing team who work full time on helping Michiganders deal with the bureaucracy of the federal government.

Just watched the 60 Minutes segment. Basically it debunks the fundamental claim used by Trump admin that the detainees it sent there are “terrorists” and corroborates torture using clips from El Salvadorean influencers Bukele uses internally. Would be a shock to low information voters, probably

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas.

Just want to add: Being convicted of a crime in the U.S. wouldn’t justify sending someone to a foreign gulag to be tortured, and arguably violates separation of powers since the “sentence” they are legally bound to serve is one issued by a judge, not Stephen Miller (i.e. the factoid is irrelevant)
rickperlstein.bsky.social Rick Perlstein @rickperlstein.bsky.social · 1d
Bari Weiss lied in her memo. She said segment didn't report administration's legal justification (it does in the very first sentence) and didn't say how many detainees had been charged with crimes as opposed to just those who were convicted (it does). www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

BREAKING NEWS: We’re leading a lawsuit to protect the consumer protection bureau that provided $700k+ in relief to Oregonians last year.

The Trump administration wants to defund the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau – but that would harm working families in Oregon & beyond. #orpol #breakingnews
