Every day I wake up and thank our federal district court judges for keeping their oaths to the Constitution.

Screenshot of an X post from election lawyer Marc Elias (@marceelias) noting that of the 8 state voter file cases the DOJ has lost, 4 were decided by Trump-appointed judges. Below is an embedded earlier post from Elias reporting that recent dismissals brought the DOJ's overall record to 0-8 out of 31 lawsuits filed against states and Washington, D.C.

Mad King Donny went to war against the Pope and he lost, because he's a losing fucking loser who always loses. also in today's post: Donny has no idea what a 'corner store' is, because he's a fucking moron who always morons. thank you for your attention to this matter. link is here bit.ly/4sGOObV

going to war against the Pope was just as bone-crushingly moronic as going to war against Iran. in both cases, there was never any plan B — because these overconfident shitwits always act first and think never.

in fighting Iran, there was never a thought of ‘well, what if they don’t surrender after two hours of bombing?’ — and in fighting the Pope, there was never a thought of ‘what if he tells us to go fuck ourselves?’

He…doesn't really know what a corner store is. And clearly doesn't review what his speechwriters write beforehand.

Screenshot of a tweet by Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) quoting Trump at a Nevada event expressing confusion over the term "corner store," saying he's never heard it used that way and asking "Who the hell wrote that?" The embedded video shows Trump speaking at a podium with the presidential seal, surrounded by "No Tax on Tips" signs and Nevada branding.

After WWII we could have gone home and left the world to burn. Instead America rebuilt Europe, defended trade routes, and helped inspire the fall of the Iron Curtain. Because America has always had a mission. One we're dangerously close to forgetting. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

I'm not making this up. if you're an American stranded in the Middle East and you call the State Department help line, you get a recorded message pretty much telling you to go fuck yourself. thank you for your attention to my extremely angry post about it. link is here: bit.ly/409JSAA

MAGA is trying to justify the Portland shooting by arguing that the people drove off after being shot, and that this somehow explains why the agents fled the scene. At the same time, federal agents are claiming the victims were “gang members” who attempted to run them over with a car.

His priorities are revolting.

Screenshot of a post by Acyn on X quoting an exchange between a reporter and Donald Trump. The reporter asks whether Trump will demand that Delcy Rodríguez allow opposition figures to return or free political prisoners. Trump responds that they have not gotten to that yet and says the current focus is fixing up the oil. Below the text is a C-SPAN video still recorded aboard Air Force One. Trump stands in a narrow aircraft hallway wearing a dark suit and yellow tie, speaking to reporters. A female reporter faces him from the right, and another person stands partially visible behind him. On-screen text reads “Trump Takes Questions From Reporters,” with C-SPAN branding.

My family and I, and the entire Japanese American community on the West Coast, were denied due process during our internment in WWII. It is a cherished, critical right for all people within the U.S.’s borders.

Screenshot of a tweet by Aaron Reichlin-Melnick criticizing a government official’s claim that due process should be ignored in immigration enforcement. The tweet argues that due process applies to everyone and is enshrined twice in the U.S. Constitution. Below it is a quoted tweet referencing a statement attributed to Stephen Miller about deportations, alongside a video still of a man speaking at a podium outdoors.

Our government’s priorities are entirely backward. And purposefully so.

HA HA HA HA! DONNY'S DIPSHIT DIME-STORE PROSECUTORS HAVE NOW TRIED AND FAILED TO INDICT LETITIA JAMES FOUR TIMES. GOOD LUCK ON THE FIFTH, YOU MORONS. ALL THAT AND THE NEW DEAD PEDO BESTIE PHOTOS IN MY "BIG BEAUTIFUL" POST. LINK IS HERE, THANK YOU: bit.ly/4a9hzIN

the first failed attempt was when US Attorney Eric Seibert refused to indict James — because he had integrity, and James hadn’t actually broken any laws. Donny then forced Seibert to resign, and replaced him with compliant stooge Lindsey Halligan, who was only too happy to indict James. but then that indictment was tossed after a judge ruled that ‘Donny says I’m the prettiest’ was not a lawful reason for appointing Halligan in the first place.

now, two grand juries have told the DOJ to fuck straight off.
