I’m old enough to remember when lying about adultery was worthy of impeachment. Feels quaint at this point.
I fought Rudy Giuliani and Trump in 202 and learned an important lesson: They would lie in the parking lot but have to be more careful in court. Jeanine Pirro's dismissal of the bogus case against David Hearn is just the latest example of this.

ICYMI last night, DHS is currently being fined every day for contempt of court until it coughs up the cell phone records of officers involved in immigration stops in L.A. last year that looked like racial profiling rather than reasonable cause. short thread -->
Gabriel Malor@gabrielmalor.bsky.social · 17h agoFed. judge holds DHS in civil contempt of court for refusing "intentionally and not in good faith" to provide plaintiffs with phone images they intend to use to prove DHS was racially profiling people arrested in Los Angeles without reasonable suspicion. Order from July 28, unsealed today.
Remembering the legendary & incomparable Louis Armstrong, Grammy-winning jazz trumpeter and singer on his 125th birthday. He was #BOTD on 8/4/1901 and passed away at 69 on 7/6/1971.
They need to hammer down relentlessly on this. They can't become overconfident, like they did with Hillary in 2016.
We can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue
Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media
NEW: After losing 20 consecutive lawsuits seeking states’ voter rolls, DOJ conceded that its case against Washington is no different from the others — but still urged another court to embrace the sweeping legal theory rejected by every court to consider it. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
After 20 straight losses, Trump DOJ struggles to defend demand for Washington state voter rolls
The concession left DOJ asking the Washington court to reject a judicial consensus that now includes 20 district court rulings and one federal appellate decision — without identifying any distinct fac...

This hasn’t gotten much attention, but it should. While everyone was focused on Schedule F, the administration created something even broader. On July 30, a new OPM rule took effect that creates a second way to fire federal employees outside the normal civil service process.
Texans, including former State Rep. Lon Burnam, were arrested for defending our voting rights. Tarrant County leaders tried to slash 𝟭𝟰𝟬 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆. That’s nearly HALF of the election day polling locations! Texans showed up, fought back, and forced them to back down—for now.

The Spokane fire conspiracy theories are almost identical to the Altadena fire conspiracy theories. These people have no understand of how fire works, how science works, or why some things burn. I'm writing a book chapter about it, but the people who need to read it don't read books.
LorennaCleary.bsky.social@lorennacleary.bsky.social · 23h agoThe internet is filled with really dumb people who right now think the fires in Spokane WA were fake because the houses burned but trees didn’t. What they’re forgetting is that dead, thin, dry wood burns. Wet, dense, living wood is harder to burn. Old living pine and house vs fire: house loses.
