Just left the latest hearing in Jim Comey's criminal case. It did not go well for DOJ
The magistrate judge scolded them for an "indict first, investigate second" posture and ordered them to turn over reams of material — including all grand jury info — to Comey's team

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

“AI in the public sector must not become a Trojan horse for ideological capture or commercial favoritism,” argues Public Citizen’s J.B. Branch. He calls on OMB to halt the federal rollout of Grok AI, citing risks to fairness and neutrality that violate the Trump Administration’s own AI guidance.

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activist—Harmeet Dhillon—currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States
Beachfront home of South Carolina judge, ex-senator burned to ground, injuring 3
Ex-senator Arnold Goodstein, along with two additional people, were rescued by several neighbors and paramedics from a marshy, remote area behind the home after jumping from the fist floor.

Bonta: Just minutes before the hearing, we got word that the Texas National Guard has been federalized.
We asked the judge to issue a broad order — one that applies to every National Guard unit in every state — stating that none of them can be deployed to Oregon.
She issued that order

“Call it ‘order’ if you want, but what I see is a cop assaulting an unarmed civilian. In 1933 Germany, ‘police brutality’ wasn’t a concept either—just state-sanctioned violence. Portland is the warning: this is how democracy dies.”

We can fund health care and keep the government running, or we can shut everything down to raise prices on people.
To me, that’s a pretty easy choice.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.
