The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Whitehouse: Not only were the founders extremely interested in checks and balances but they were desperately concerned about corruption.

This Court has consistently taken the side of corruption against every device Congress has created to fight political corruption.

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

Fake peace prize, but real criminal conviction, representing real corruption, the DOJ now moves to dismiss. Hard to say whether it’s more predictable or more repugnant.

As people made their way into a naturalization ceremony, ICE officials stopped 38 of the 100 applicants and told them they wouldn't be leaving with U.S. citizenship. The immigrants — who passed every step in the naturalization process — needed only to take the oath of allegiance to become citizens.

Harry Litman’s essay is the best thing out there about what SCOTUS will do in Trump v. Slaughter, argued Dec 8. Sure to be shredded is the FDR-era decision in Humphrey’s Executor v. U.S. But Litman goes much deeper and lays out the broad range of implications:

2/ “Defendants confirmed their position that, after an initial federalization, all extensions of federalization orders are utterly unreviewable, forever.

That is shocking. Adopting Defendants’ interpretation ... would permit a president to create a perpetual police force comprised of state troops"
