JUST NOW: "This is like Alice in Wonderland", Judge Breyer says when trying to get the DOJ to explain to him why what happened in CA is a "rebellion" justifying the deployment of the National Guard. "Words just mean what you want them to mean?"

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information. Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

I don’t suppose the judiciary committees in either chamber are going to do hearings anytime soon on the number of people who made large donations to Trump in various ways only to see their criminal charges dropped or pardoned.

DOJ lawyer called failure to comply with statute requiring activation of National Guard “through” the governor a “foot fault.” Cringe. I’d call that argument an unforced error. No surprise the judge ended up waving around a pocket copy of the Constitution. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...
