The piece Rob refers to was Orwellian.

Mr. Secretary, you seem confused. Mark Kelly was defending the Constitution. That’s leadership and you should try it.

We are monitoring the situation in St. Paul and working to understand what unfolded. We received no heads up from federal authorities on this operation.
While we are always willing to work together on public safety, that is clearly not what this chaotic situation was about.

When Donald Trump abandons Ukraine,
It will be a true national stain,
But Putin will be glad,
That Don Trump has been had,
We will all come to rue this chicane.

The Trump surrender of Ukraine descends into utter chaos. But “chaos” is too mellow a word: What we have here is a rich bouillabaisse of incompetence, mendacity, tragedy, farce, and diplomatic blunder. Words have a hard time keeping up with the story. But we’ll try. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

He should get together with the people who want the government to keep 'hands off' their Medicare.
If the government won't bail out my crypto losses, I'm going to become an even bigger libertarian.

Unfortunately, I agree with this. They’re already doing things the Nazis did, things that are illegal to do, even to undocumented people. They have murdered people, from men on boats, to people in custody. The conditions of custody are unspeakable. People are being disappeared.

This one cuts really close to the bone, MSM.
Congressional Democrats have implored members of the military to reject any illegal orders they may receive. President Trump has responded with Truth Social posts reading "HANG THEM" and “punishable by DEATH.” Weary voters just want both sides to turn down the temperature.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

The reason @barbmcquade.bsky.social never saw a situation like this is because she's competent, well, and honest.
I will confess, I have never seen a situation before where the grand jury never saw the indictment, so the remedy is unknown, but I can’t believe an unseen indictment could be valid.

Lindsey Halligan Admits Grand Jury Never Saw Final Comey Indictment

Pulling a bait and switch on the grand jury and adding a count seems like pretty good evidence of vindictiveness.
If Halligan pulled a grand jury switcheroo, and did not inform the court, this could be her deepest trouble yet.
Justice Dept. acknowledges full grand jury never saw final Comey indictment
The acknowledgement came during a hearing in which a federal judge heard the former FBI director’s arguments that he is the target of a vindictive prosecution.

Turns out Trump wanted more than just the Sudetenland. Who knew!
Turns out that the $16MM payoff ABC made to Trump bought them only a few months' reprieve. Weird how that happens.
Trump in response to an Epstein question: "ABC, your company, your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should take a look at that."
