Dear Knicks, also stay as far away as you can from the flaming jerk who owns the team.

From the great American hero judge Michael Luttig
“Judge Boasberg doesn’t want to assume the role of president; the president wants to assume the role of judge.”

Of all the examples of people dying because somebody inexperienced was in charge, the biggest, most horrifying was Elon Musk and DOGE. No idea what AID did, didn’t care, blew it up and at least 600,000 people died unnecessarily as a consequence. Mass murder out of ignorance and bias. Thanks, Elon.

Besides the Epstein diversion, the deployment of troops to DC is to create two chilling possibilities. One, to invoke the insurrection act and put down any demonstrations as the country goes south. Two, to suspend elections and declare martial law if the country turns against him.

Every one of these DOJ lawyers lying to the courts should be disbarred. Bar associations are on notice. Do you really care about the rule of law and democracy? If so, ACT!

This is an evergreen, but if Joe Biden had given a speech like this, every reporter in America would’ve had their head exploded. Instead, we get shrugs.

I am beginning to wonder whether Gavin Newsom is trying to win back Kimberley Guilfoyle

As I wrote earlier today, waiting for Maduro to say that Venezuela conspired with Obama to swing the 2016 and 2020 elections. Followed by Maduro and his wife being transferred to the same cushy prison occupied by Ghislaine Maxwell.

The indictment against Maduro is about cocaine. If we had an honest White House Press Corps, every press interview Trump did would start with why he pardoned a narco terrorist president who imported 400 tons of cocaine into the United States.

Notice who’s missing: George W. Bush. Unconscionable cowardice.

Three ex-presidents denounce the current one in a two-week stretch

He did not work for Walz, he was reappointed to a bipartisan commission. He had a hit list of 70, including Demoractic lawmakers, abortion providers, and pro-abortion activists. Spin all you want then delete your account.

Marco Rubio. Monster.

Vast supplies of U.S. aid remain stranded, despite State Department promises

Spread this widely to everybody who is a member of the DC Bar. It is really important to work to block Pam Bondi’s brother.

This is astonishing. Like every other nominee in the health policy area, utterly unqualified, but in this case even worse. The nominee for surgeon General! Odds of the Republican Senate will still confirm her: 90%.

Trump’s Surgeon General Pick Distorted Key Parts of Her Résumé

Nesheiwat falsified, misled, selectively omitted, or lied about her medical education, board certifications, and military experience

The Washington Post is systematically purging every progressive voice from its opinion page. It is beyond tragic for our democracy that this paper, once a cornerstone of the free press, has been so deeply damaged.

A case study in how not to do an interview. He let Johnson filibuster over and over with repeated outrageous lies that went unchallenged. Asked three times about Johnson’s position on deficits and let him bob and weave. Just cringeworthy.

Trump and his thugs are cutting the heart out of every agency that protects public safety and human lives. Beyond horrifying.

The Forest Service Claims It’s Fully Staffed for a Worsening Fire Season. Data Shows Thousands of Unfilled Jobs.

Time for contempt citations against Tom Homan, Stephen Miller, and the other thugs who have violated every legal and ethical standard and a direct Supreme Court decision

I knew Lindsey Graham well back in the day when he was an honorable person, the sidekick to John McCain, who tried to forge compromises on climate change and immigration, and championed campaign finance reform. The opposite of what he became. His career arc was tragic.
