So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

Don’t we deserve this after the trauma that was 2016 and 2024??? Shit even 2020 wasn’t a clear win. I stayed up for DAYS! We need that cathartic - “oh shit. We’re up by 5 TDs, they haven’t even gotten a first down, and it’s only midway through the 2nd quarter”

Don’t you remember all the failed GJ charges? It’s similar. You don’t charge while you are still figuring out what the case actually is unless you want to lose
Here’s my point. Ongoing investigation could mean the investigation is in it’s final stages or it’s initial stages right? Charges are oft brought in the FINAL stages of an investigation NOT in the INITIAL. You said you don’t trust them and they HAVE lied to GJ’s. Which stage do you see them at? 🤔
I think you’re misreading me or Patel/Blache. Like I said I get that at times there can be a clock or a need to charge first knowing superseding indictments are coming. I get that 100%. I see FBI/DOJ as jumping the gun as the investigation isn’t nearly complete enough to have a next step
I’m not so sure about that. Not at trial unless we’re talk some real low level stuff. Evidence had to be presented to the defense. And if prosecutors don’t go into trial confident in their evidence they shouldn’t be going to trial. This is LITERALLY what took Mueller so long to bring charges.
I get that but that’s not this. Don’t give Patel and this DOJ the presumption of regularity.
The Hawks in the GOP have been so eager to bomb Iran they let a complete idiot lead them into a quagmire that’s looking more and more like a modern day Vietnam.
In what way?
Um. If they are charging why is the “investigation still ongoing”?
My former political party is a cult.
The first ever happy hour press conference
The Islamic Republic of Iran has officially informed Pakistan that it will not attend talks with the United States tomorrow and that its decision is final.
Vice President JD Vance has cancelled his trip to Pakistan.
The possibility exists that the war could start again in just a matter of hours.
Trump is so illiterate that he had to pre-record his weird af Bible reading and apparently the government will be reading fork the Bible all week on public television
Two things to unpack here:
1) Trump is so illiterate that they had to pre-record him reading the Bible.
2) The Government is going to read the Bible on public tv all week while for weeks they’ve been howling about how Iran is run by religious extremists.
In a nutshell. 😊
She is awful and should be fired but man that is three women out of the Cabinet and not a single guy
For everyone laughing about how discovery will be "fun" should understand: 1) this suit will likely never make it that far; 2) when it's dismissed, The Atlantic will still be out hundreds of thousands of dollars; 3) like being charged by the FBI, you can beat the rap but you can't beat the ride.
I had forgotten Stafford deal with still outstanding. That's how little I was worried about Stafford and Snead working this out.

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.
"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.
I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).
So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.
Perry begins by asking about a 12/31 order ending the mission in Chicago, Portland and Los Angeles.
"Can I get a copy of that?" she asks.
Trump admin lawyer Stephen Tagert says it was "provided orally." He says it's reflected in a document but "we'd need to provide it under seal."
