HAPPENING NOW: Judge Reyes is furious. She has repeatedly told the government to inform her before any major demolition work was done on the golf course. The abrupt removal of 500 trees, without notice, "has cost the government all of its credibility" in this case.

Judges whose orders are ignored by the Trump regime need to do more than complain from the bench. They need to throw people in jail.

Ilhan Omar’s home was raided today, weeks after border czar Tom Homan cited an “ongoing criminal investigation.” It reportedly involves immigration paperwork when she was a child. There is NOT an ongoing investigation of Homan taking $50,000 in an FBI bribery sting because Trump killed that probe.

Conservatives have been screaming bloody murder that Jack Smith lawfully collected call data on Trump allies in 2023 and 2024. But executing a search warrant on Omar’s house a few weeks before the election is totally cool.

X is the platform of choice for these smears. Musk himself pushed this conspiracy from his own account three times. Democrats need to go to war against Musk because he's already attacking them. He's deeply unpopular. And, as we saw in Wisconsin, voters recoil when he becomes an issue in a race.

Also, not a peep about Trump pardoning all the people he invited to violently invade the Capitol and attack the Capitol police, which lets them know that violence on behalf of Trump is ok. No mention about how not prosecuting ICE officers who murder civilians contributes to a culture of violence.

As a reminder, Trump called those who violently attacked Capitol police "patriots" in a tweet later deleted. He's pardoned all those who committed violence in his name on 1/6/21. That context is missing from the NY Times story. Alas. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Their former op-ed guy is bashing Ossoff for using "Nazi" and other inflammatory words-as if properly identifying the terrifying moment we are in is the issue - not the fact that people who love Nazis are in power. Elon Musk gave a Nazi salute at a Trump rally. Believe your eyes when you see this.
Even the Germans knew Musk was giving the Hitler salute.

The NY Times knows Trump has been arrested, convicted of felonies, held financially responsible for sexual assault, incited violence on 1/6/21 AND he uses his mugshot to fundraise. And yet it's a mystery as to why lately elected officials are threatened with violence.
Trump mugshot after his arrest for felony racketeering and conspiracy charges related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia. 

He loves this picture and has used it for fundraising.

Here's Maggie Haberman on 1/5/21, claiming it was a legitimate choice for Pence to choose between the Constitution or his boss. bit.ly/4gbcjpk The real truth: Trump asked his VP to violate the Constitution and declare him the victor in the election he lost.
NY Times story on 1/5/21, framing Trump's illegal work to overturn the election he lost as somehow a legitimate "choice" for Pence to support. On 1/5/21, Haberman and the NY Times framed Trump's pressure on Pence to unconstitutionally overturn the election he lost as creating a "delicate role" for Pence to play.

Nope. Trump was pressuring his VP to overturn the election Trump lost, which is illegal. 

The very next day, Trump incited violence at the Capitol. Trump has since pardoned all of those convicted of attacking Capitol police and vandalizing the nation's Capitol.

The newspaper that claimed Pence had to choose between "the Constitution or His Boss" is SOOO close to getting it... Maybe having a mob boss in the nation's most powerful position incites violence? See 1/6/21 for more. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/11/u...
