Yes this is totally incompetent but the real story here is the sheer lawlessness of Lindsay Halligan. Imagine being a lawyer and having such little regard for the rule of law that you would fake a grand jury indictment and lie about it. Halligan should not only be disbarred, she should be in jail.

The U.S. military is being used inside the United States. There's a lot we don't know about how, why, and under what authorities. Today, Lawfare is launching a new project–which includes a tracker and a map–to follow where and how the military is being domestically deployed.

A map of where the U.S. military was deployed in the United States. The dots are color coded. The dots are in the District of Columbia, Los Angeles and surrounding areas, Florida, unknown locations in Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas, the southern border area, South Carolina, Idaho, Nevada, Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Border Patrol's Laredo Sector, Texas, Los Angeles and surrounding areas, Louisana, Nebraska, South Dakota, Georgia, Wyoming, Memphis, Tennessee, and Missouri.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces. This is truly terrifying.

"Putin generally cannot travel outside Russia because he has been indicted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes, including the theft of Ukrainian children. And yet Trump is welcoming him to the United States of America." ~Heather Cox Richardson

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

Pam Bondi has just told the American Bar Association it will no longer have access to vet judicial candidates. I assume this means the Trump administration is about to nominate some true stinkers as judges and is trying to limit the fallout.

Richard Diebenkorn's early work was influenced by Abstract Expressionism, characterized by gestural markings and quasi-symbols that conveyed a subconscious reality. However, in the mid-1950s, he shifted towards representational work, embracing the grand art historical tradition of figuration. This change was driven by his desire for tension and boundaries in his art, which he felt was lacking in abstraction.

Throughout his career, Diebenkorn was known for his still-life drawings and paintings, which are considered some of the most distinctive and ravishing in 20th-century art. He also explored printmaking, and his prints are highly regarded for their unique blend of abstraction and representation
