DOJ isn't throwing the case against Davey Hearn out...it's putting it in a drawer "Without prejudice" means they can pull it back the day Trump asks, & he attacked the decision to drop it within hours That's why we're asking for dismissal w/ prejudice More @washingtonpost.com👇 -TN

Reflecting Pool defendant’s lawyers move to head off new charges

Attorneys for David Heard, the former Olympian who had been accused of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, are asking a judge to ensure federal prosecutors don’t have a chance to resurre...

Whitehouse: "Next we get to this crooked slush fund Trump family tax amnesty scam. We've got these two new pieces of paper. One signed only by Blanche, one not signed by anybody. Neither of which has any legal effect whatsoever. They are decorative. Can you trust Todd Blanche? I do not."

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

You know how MAGA heads explode every time someone says that a person "self-identifies" as male or female? Well, Acting AG Blanche has just declared that he had to redact the names of most of Epstein's clients who abused children because they "self-identify" as victims of public opinion.

Todd Blanche’s written assurance that the $1.8 billion slush fund won’t go forward is garbage. It won’t go forward today. What about tomorrow once Blanche is confirmed as AG? Tillis and Cornyn, agreeing to advance Blanche, are pathetic.

Reminder: Todd Blanche has… -Weaponized the DOJ to persecute Trump’s political foes -Purged hundreds of career DOJ lawyers -Botched the release of the Epstein files and ignored victims’ wishes He can’t be trusted and has no business being Attorney General. The Senate must reject him.

Phang: "Think about what could be done if the FBI was deployed to really follow the investigative leads that have come out of even these bullshit redactions that we have in the Epstein files right now."

House fascist republican Max Miller is refusing to resign and isn’t ending his re-election bid after being accused of violently abusing his wife and child as well as threatening to murder his wife. Another prime example of those family values we’ve been hearing all about.

Katie Phang on Trump’s tax immunity deal: Why not agree to narrow language limiting immunity to conduct before the settlement? Because Trump wants to keep criming. And his refusal to relent tells me there’s smoke, fire, kerosene, wildfires. There’s something there Trump doesn’t want exposure for.
