What fresh hell of a framing is this?? "alleges the groups are advocating for the long-debated practice of jury nullification" Long-debated?! It's literally part of the our founding origin story: the Zenger trial in 1735! It's not "debated"! It's a fundamental core REASON FOR THE JURY AT ALL.

😬 Katie Zacharia's first press briefing was brutally bad 😬 Trump managed to find a press secretary who can barely read, but she does have the number one qualification -- looking like Ivanka Here's a supercut from Zacharia's first briefing, which made Karoline Leavitt seem like Ronald Reagan

"When Trump plucked Katie Zacharia from obscurity & appointed her as his new press sec, he called her 'an attorney.' This is also how Zacharia describes herself. But Popular Information searched for evidence in all 50 states, plus DC, that she was admitted to practice law anywhere — & found none."

Trump’s new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, claims she’s a lawyer. Is she?
There is no evidence Zacharia has ever been licensed to practice law — and the White House did not provide any

Zelensky: "When our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations. Because there were fewer bots. It’s pretty clear where those bots were."

Trump insists that Russia and China aren’t actually helping Iran. “If they are, it's at a very low level, but I don't believe they are at all. They have too much to lose, and we would know about it, and know about it very fast!”
Trump: I see so many comments from the Radical Left Morons and Lunatics that China and Russia are helping the "wonderful" Islamic Republic of Iran.
If they are, it's at a very low level, but I don't believe they are at all. They have too much to lose, and we would know about it, and know about it very fast! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

I saw an early screening of the 4-hour Elon Musk documentary, and he's calling it a "hit piece" because it's a damning compendium of some of his most egregious manipulation and cruelty. My question is whether the Ellisons will spike it before it ever gets to HBO. spitfirenews.com/p/elon-musk-...

It is, in fact, possible to impeach and remove President Trump from office next week. It won't happen, however, because Republicans also support Putin and Russia and agree with Trump.

The @houstonchronicle.com posted this video and it's pretty jarring. No matter that he was fleeing, law enforcement officers may not use deadly force on someone who poses no significant risk of death or serious injury to others. Deliberately hitting someone with a car is a use of deadly force.
