DOJ has no authority to issue “orders.” It can enter into agreements, such as plea or non-prosecution agreements, with parties regarding an action, but those agreements are contracts. If entered into fraudulently/collusively, a party or a third-party with standing can sue to undo the agreement.

FYI: If you have an active Naval blockade, there's not a ceasefire. So even if you claim a ceasefire pauses the War Powers Resolution 60-day clock, there's not a ceasefire right now.

In this clip, Kash Patel says the grand jury heard evidence that Comey deleted the '8647' post and apologized. Neither fact appears in the indictment. Hmm. Did the FBI director just disclose evidence presented before a grand jury?

Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs. Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026. This is what corporate greed looks like.

Trump's three angry Truth Social posts in the last hour suggest he may not be too happy about Melania's statement on Epstein. Melania doesn't bother defending her husband. And isn't her reminder that Epstein didn't act alone an encouragement to look again into what Donald was up to with his pal?

Trump got played. Not so much by Iran, but by his desperate craving for grandiosity and by extension - his gargantuan mouth. His spin is nauseatingly drenched in hypocrisy. Hegseth's creepy "glory to God" zealotry this morning is the cherry atop the hypocrisy.

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has received 110+ complaints from US service members across 30+ sites about commanders using religious rhetoric Including calling the war with Iran "part of God's plan" and Trump "anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon”
News: Commanders across dozens of U.S. military bases told troops the war on Iran is part of "God's plan" so Trump can bring about "Armageddon"News: so Trump can bring about "Armageddon." The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) has been
"inundated" with complaints since the U.S. and Israel launched attacks on Iran over the weekend, receiving more than 110 complaints from U.S. military personnel stationed at dozens of sites across the Middle East.
Journalist Jonathan Larsen broke the story, sharing specific complaints made by troops. One such complaint made by a noncommissioned officer reported that their commander had
"urged us to tell our troops that this was 'all part of God's divine plan' and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ."
"He said that 'President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth," the NCO continued. "He had a big grin on his face when he said all of this which made his message seem even more crazy."
