The judge should drag him into court to say this on the record. Pirro and her staff were subject to ethics rules and contempt restrictions. They couldn’t suborn perjury. Burgum and Trump are posting on social media. They can lie with impunity there.

stephen miller killed this couple, as surely as if he'd pulled the trigger himself
Matt Ortega@mattortega.com · last wk.Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.

Yo @meetthepress.com I can only assume the footage of your anchor yucking it up with movie villain Miller was actually her vigorously confronting him about his unhinged gestapo and the predictable byproduct it spawned: Violent criminals going around posing as ICE so they can kidnap and torture women
Ossoff: "Each day his allies are fewer & even they no longer deny his corruption, the obscene self-dealing while he plunges nation deeper into reckless war while he rakes in billions & builds himself ballroom & prepares again to attack elections. Let's be clear, one man attempted fraud in GA: Trump"
AWFUL. Ordering ICE to target an ethnic group the president has repeatedly attacked is bigotry as official government policy. TPS recipients are the most vetted immigrants here. They have to pass background checks every 18 months. Most Haitians with TPS entered legally also!
ICE plans to target Haitians as Temporary Protected Status is set to end, sources say
The plans include arresting migrants in Ohio and quickly putting them on deportation flights to crisis-stricken Haiti, the internal documents indicate.

Thank you. Keep calling out journalists on this. There needs to be a robust and intense conversation amongst journalists around what it means to cover a chaotic and increasingly fascist regime in the U.S. Timid corporate journalism is not only inadequate, it feeds the regime’s chaos

Again, what right wing Republicans and Democrats call "socialism" is the sort of regulated capitalism that was consensus for much of the 20th century. They pretend it's anti-market when really it's only anti-oligarchy

Trump bombed at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner — and proved its point | CNN Business
President Donald Trump bombed at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Friday night. He knew he was bombing, too, and he even tried to meta-joke his way out of it.
cnn.com
The optics of tonight’s White House Correspondents' Dinner are beyond embarrassing. We have a president who has actively worked to gut press access, silence dissent, and intimidate journalists. And yet, the industry decided the best response was a red-carpet schmoozefest?
The legacy media sat there while Trump lied about the past elections and "joked" about running again in 2028. They did not boo. They did not walk out. They just sat there and ate their dinner. The journalists in that room will be remembered as the journalists in that room.
