FUCK DOJ has, in general, not relied on Trump v. US, even in all its most expansive claims to be able to do what they want. But in Broadview--where defendants suspect that Todd Blanche's enforcer Akash Singh was involved--DOJ went there. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
![Separately, as the Supreme Court recently held, “[i]nvestigative and prosecutorial
decisionmaking is ‘the special province of the Executive Branch,’” and so even the “President may
discuss potential investigations and prosecutions with his Attorney General and other Justice
Department officials to carry out his constitutional duty to ‘take Care that the Laws be faithfully
executed.” Trump v. United States, 603 U.S. 593, 620 (2024) (quotations and citations omitted).
Thus, members of the Executive Branch are constitutionally required to “take Care that the Laws
be faithfully executed,” and it is entirely appropriate for them to “decide which crimes to
investigate and prosecute.” Id. (quoting U.S. Const. Art. II, § 3). Although the Supreme Court in
2024 made clear that the law permits such interactions, as already noted and consistent with
Department policy, in this matter, the United States Attorney reported the Office’s charging
decision to Main Justice shortly before the first grand jury presentation in this case. R. 110 at 4,

🤔 According to a Treasury spokesperson Fly Baghdad Airlines is being removed from the SDN List after going through OFAC’s comprehensive administrative reconsideration process and has demonstrated major changes to their operations such that their listing is no longer warranted.

A Palestinian father has opened an indoor play centre in Gaza to give children a sense of normality as they continue to endure near-daily Israeli attacks, with free entry for families who cannot afford to pay.
It’s bad. Ukraine is still effectively hitting both inside Russia and occupied Crimea almost daily, but Putin (as usual) is targeting population centers instead of legitimate military targets.
Klobuchar responds: "None of my opponents on this stage condemned what ICE did. Not a word. Two innocent people were killed, shot in the back. We had many people arrested when they weren't supposed to be arrested, and we need reform to ICE."
Every single Republican candidate for governor of Minnesota (including Mike Lindell!) makes clear that if Trump tried another Operation Metro Surge in the Twin Cities, they would support his efforts to brutalize residents
Asked Jasmine Crockett last night in St. Louis if she thinks James Talarico can turn Texas blue this fall. “I don't know,” she said. She doesn’t buy the polls. “I watch money… When I look at the money, if Republicans start spending money in Texas, then I'll be convinced.” MORE:
Republican primary voters are so racist that a guy named Tom Smith who DROPPED OUT OF THE RACE is going to defeat Trump’s endorsed candidate because his name is Amir Hassan.
The reasons for dissent are not unanimous, ranging from the war in Iran to an overhaul of military leadership.
Why are US Republicans losing faith in War Secretary Pete Hegseth?

In a bid to get the indictment against him dismissed with prejudice, Davey Hearn reveals that DOJ misrepresented the circumstances of a "before" picture proving he didn't damage the reflecting pool.

In WSJ's ticktock of the Pirro flipflop, they reveal Pirro was PAYING AUSAs $25K bonuses. To stick around. 👀 Given pretty clear GJ misconduct laid out in Davey Hearn's response to the MTD, that looks really really suspect.

Democrats are consolidating as predicted. Excellent. Whitmer, Stevens, McMorrow and even Schumer rally behind Abdul El Sayed. He can and will beat Rogers who is weak and tied to an unpopular Trump and GOP. All gas.

As a Michigan voter who is grateful as fuck I wasn't in the state for that Senate primary, I think this deserves more attention: Jocelyn Benson has a MUCH easier route ahead of her than it looked like she would in January. MUCH easier. And that's going to help unify the party.
EVERCORE: The projected exhaustion of Social Security “is a bona fide forcing event on the horizon. If Washington’s fiscal trajectory changes meaningfully before then, .. it will likely be because Treasury markets deliver a clear signal that the fiscal status quo has become too costly ..”
The $30 million AIPAC wasted in Michigan, wasted trying to help Haley Stevens, could have been used to fully fund and deliver 6 million malaria nets to sub-Saharan Africa. Or, it could have fully paid for universal free school breakfasts in Mississippi, America's poorest state.
