This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

“Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.”

There is no way Ukraine could trust the current US government with info that they had operatives behind enemy lines in Russia to execute this operation. Telling that to the Trump admin would put their lives in even greater danger than they already were.

NEWS: The Ninth Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, denied DOJ's request for a stay pending appeal of the injunction barring Trump-directed, wide-scale, mass firings (RIFs) across the government. In short, the order blocking RIFs remains in effect. Background: www.lawdork.com/p/-federal-j...

On May 9, the district court issued an order granting a temporary restraining order ("TRO") against Defendants and compelling discovery of the ARRPs and documents related to their implementation.' AFGE v. Trump, No. 25-CV-03698, 2025 WL 1358477 (N.D. Cal. May 9, 2025). The district court subsequently granted Plaintiffs' request for a preliminary injunction providing essentially the same relief. AFGE v. Trump, No. 25-CV-03698, 2025 WL 1482511 (N.D. Cal. May 22, 2025). Defendants filed in our court a request for an emergency stay of the district court's preliminary injunction.
Acting as the motions panel of our court, we deny Defendants' emergency motion for a stay of the district court's preliminary injunction.

The FBI is disbanding a squad that handles investigations into members of Congress and fraud by federal employees, according to people familiar with the matter, a move that comes as the Trump administration seeks to eliminate or marginalize units responsible for public corruption cases.

Elon Musk says the US government is doing a "quiet trial" of the "gold card," a flatly illegal concept billed as letting people buy a green card for $5 million. No law allows this. The closest thing, EB-5, requires investment in a US business that creates at least 10 new jobs.

Trump: "When you say strollers are going up -- what kind of a thing? I'm saying that gasoline is going down. Gasoline is thousands of times more important than a stroller someplace ... you don't need to have 35 dolls. You can have 2, 3, 4, and save a lot of money. We don't need to feed the beast."

BREAKING A federal judge ruled Friday that President Trump's executive order targeting the law firm Perkins Coie violates the first, fifth, and sixth amendments and permanently blocked the administration from enforcing it. Full Story: bit.ly/44W2l7d

"Using the powers of the federal government to target lawyers for their representation of clients and avowed progressive
employment policies in an overt attempt to suppress and punish certain viewpoints, however, is contrary to the Constitution, which requires that the goverment respond to dissenting or unpopular speech or ideas with 'tolerance, not coercion."

The fake Boston Globe front page of what a Trump presidency would look like from 2016 seems awfully fuckin' quaint now. All of it is happening, the only real difference is, in this fantasyland, the military refuses to do some of it.

Main hed says "DEPORTATIONS TO BEGIN" and "Markets sink as trade war looms."

Headlines read "US soldiers refuse orders to kill ISIS families" and "New libel law targets 'absolute scum' in press"
