People hear "judge" and they assume judicial independence. But the Trump administration has hacked away at immigration judges independence to the point that they can expect to be fired if they don't do the Trump administration's bidding. And the Supreme Court has blessed this loss of autonomy.

Just a reminder that for all their big talk, DOJ is 0-4 in lawsuits to obtain state voter files. My law firm is 4-0.šŸ˜Ž www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/trump-doj-now-0-for-5-on-voter-roll-cases-as-court-rejects-massachusetts-lawsuit/

I know itā€™s crazy, but as an alternative, White House staffers could simply choose not to commit any crimes.

One side of the coin features a skull, which has glowing eyes, a helmet, and mask.

JD Vance, a disturbed idiot, trying to negotiate with Iran while Trump is at home screaming crazy things about Iran is a great example of how utterly demented American politics have become.

For people just catching up to the Amanda Ungaro / Paolo Zampolli story (she was an Epstein victim, then the mother of his child; he just had her deported by ICE), here's the bigger context: it was Zampolli who brought the Slovenian model Melania Knauss to the US and introduced her to Trump. 1/

I had the experience of being cited in a publication, and the paper credited to me was a hallucination. I told the author, they blamed their co-author and then ghosted me, and no response at all from the journal. Some people don't care as long as they get published...

SEVEN whole law professors?!

Here I was thinking that what mattered was every single judge who has ruled on the issue, 125+ years of accepted understanding of the 14th, and centuries of common law on the contours of jus soli. But if Ilan Wurman's side has SEVEN law professors, man, WOW. It's over.

The Presidential Records Act isnā€™t complicated. It was passed after Watergate for a reason & itā€™s very clear about what belongs to the public & what doesnā€™t.

Thatā€™s what makes the new position DOJ is taking so disturbing. I explain here: joycevance.substack.com/p/killing-history

FOIA scoop (no paywall): The day Renee Good was killed, a Minnesota state police official repeatedly texted a FBI agent. He wanted to co-manage the crime scene & ensure his agents were included in interviews. For at least 2 days, maybe longer, the FBI didn't respond:

CBS News has a bombshell interview with a U.S. soldier who survived the deadly attack in Kuwait on the first day of the way -- he says Pete Hegseth is lying about the attack and that the base "was unprepared to provide any defense for itself." www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-war-kuwait-drone-attack-survivors-us-army/

Stunning reporting here that shows U.S. troops were left exposed in a known target zone with virtually no drone defenses. Now the soldiers themselves are calling out the Pentagonā€™s version of events as false.

Hegseth and Trump keep lying to the American people about this war.

"Calm down. He won't be that bad."
"He won't go after political opponents."
"He won't try to overturn an election."
"He won't start a stupid, costly war."
"He won't purge the military."
"He won't use nukes." <--- We're currently here.

Every single foreign policy development under Trump...

Legacy media: "Trump has made an historic deal!"

Legacy media, next day: "The deal has fallen apart."

Let me get this straight: the Trump admin threatened the Pope and the Vatican with military force in a private meeting, and when J.D. Vance--who has a new book out soon about his conversion to Catholicism--was asked about that meeting, he didn't know the name of the Vatican's Ambassador to the U.S.?

Nobody anywhere should harbor any doubt or confusion, now or forevermore, as to how or why so many Trump businesses - including casinos - went belly up.

Moulton: "This is in no way a win. It's almost comical that Hegseth can get up there -- the guy is such a joke to begin with -- but the fact he can say with a straight face that we're winning this war is pretty absurd."
