Text on graphic reads: The Department of Justice has dropped 23,000 criminal cases while prosecuting 32,000 new immigration cases in just the first six months of Trump’s second term. -Nearly 5,000: federal drug cases, including trafficking and money laundering -Over 900: cases of federal program or procurement fraud -More than 1,300: cases involving terrorism and national security

The DOJ quietly closed 23,000+ criminal cases in the first six months of Trump’s second administration, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, drugs and other offenses as it shifted resources to pursue immigration cases.

Now that's a good neighbor! How exciting. I wonder how many other neighbors feel the same. Time for that block party!

Look at that curled tail! 😻 How cute.

Congratulations! How exciting.

I feel like forcing military officers to choose between defying orders given by civilian leadership or committing war crimes will be a defining moment in whatever ultimately happens to our democracy.

That's an amazing looking breakfast! Now I'm hungry again. 😭

Yess! The cow offering itself for the menu remains in my head all these years later. I love Arthur's "wtf" response to the request. Plus the description of the restaurant is utterly fascinating. I loved it even more than the first novel.

Yesss! I absolutely love the movie and the entire cast. Shame they didn't get to make the rest of the series, I'd have killed for a Restaurant at the End of the Universe movie with the cast!

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is fantastic! Both the novel and the movie.

Hey media--

Pam Bondi is not a victim -- she willingly carried out Trump's political agenda to prosecute his political enemies and undermine free and fair elections.

Todd Blache is not shouldering a "burden" or "walking a tightrope." He is a willing accomplice.

Language matters.

Why We Went Looking for National Defense Areas Along the U.S. Southern Border The federal government is charging a skyrocketing number of migrants with trespassing in military zones. The boundaries can be hard to pinpoint — even for investigative reporters.

If we, as reporters who investigate things for a living, couldn’t get a straight answer on where these military zones were, how did the government expect people crossing the border to do better?

Hazard pay.

Good post and interesting comparisons! We still have many issues left to overcome in the US, but we can hold down the fort and recover in time.

Thank you for everything you do, Professor Cormack! Your data helps keep me aware of these congressional PR trends and I appreciate it.

Apple Health supports working individuals and families

Washington Apple Health (Medicaid) matters because it supports working individuals and families. Many people who qualify for Apple Health are working but don’t have employer-sponsored insurance or can’t afford private plans.

The FAA’s “Temporary” Flight Restriction for Drones is a Blatant Attempt to Criminalize Filming ICE Legal intern Raj Gambhir was the principal author of this post.The Trump administration has restricted the First Amendment right to record law enforcement by issuing an unprecedented nationwide flight...

The FAA quietly imposed a nationwide drone restriction that prevents filming ICE and other federal agents within half a mile. It’s an attack on the First Amendment.

Good evening my friends! I hope that you've had a scrumpdillyicious day, and that your evening is outstanding ❤️

Congrats! That's a big first step.

How exciting and just in time for spring!

Good, we need to regulate this quickly. Prediction gambling has become pervasive throughout our society in short order. The amount of harm this single industry has caused our society is legitimately insane and horrifying.

Yup, SECDEF is bypassing the command and control of weapons usage and instead empowering the individuals with their fingers on the trigger, just like he did with the Apache pilot investigation. He's effectively seeding armed loyalists as sleeper agents within all of our installations.

Regulation of Kalshi, Polymarket and the like may be great opportunities for bipartisan legislating. Senators John Curtis (R-UT), Adam Schiff (D-CA) Chris Murphy (D-CT), Greg Casar (D-TX), and Congressman Gabe Amo (D-RI) are leading on this with:

This is why I only take advice from magic eight balls. They never let me down! 😏 *shake shake*

They're going to find someone equally deranged, but at least they're consuming each other. It took a year before the first domino fell (Noem) and now more are falling.

Fully agreed! All of these traitors need to be held accountable. I'm glad their treasonous house of cards is continuing to fall.

Happy Anniversary!
