Trump’s D.C. U.S. attorney pick appeared on Russian state media over 150 times Trump nominee Ed Martin’s 100-plus appearances on Russian state-directed media RT and Sputnik from 2016 to 2024 alarm some former national security officials.

This along with Rachel Madow's breaking news last night about DOGE siphoning data from National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) made accessible to Russian IP addresses via Starlink - How is dRumpf nto a Russian asset?!?!

They are snatching people off the street and sending them away to brutal prisons in foreign lands with zero due process - and they won't even bring them back when they realize a mistake was made.

That's frightening stuff for any American who actually loves their country.

How many train wrecks do we have to survive before we pull our heads out of our collective asses and let women run this country?

Pledge to Defend our Public Services and Workers! Elon Musk is trying to steal our federal government — slashing public services, firing civil servants, and handing power to billionaires like himself. It’s illegal, it’s dangerous, and we won’t stand ...

Millions of Americans are enraged by Musk's wrecking-ball operation

WATCH: Free America! Tired of Democrats doing nothing? Political sage Anat Shenker-Osorio has some marching orders for the people -- you! -- to take this crisis into your own hands

Folks are frustrated with Dems in Congress right now.

Here’s my solution - get the hell out of DC and hold some hearings.

I love town halls, but we need to focus on people right now. Have folks come testify about how these cuts are affecting them.

Get local media there.

Make it real.

Just as relevant today…

It is so twisted over there on the Christian right. I heard from a friend who left the church that she saw this posted in that algorithm - “beware the sin of empathy. It is a slippery road to liberalism.” Gah!

Re: United States v. Eric Adams, 24 Cr. 556 (DEH)
Mr. Bove,
I have received correspondence indicating that I refused your order to move to dismiss the indictment against Eric Adams without prejudice, subject to certain conditions, including the express possibility of reinstatement of the indictment. That is not exactly correct. The U.S.
Attorney, Danielle R. Sassoon, never asked me to file such a motion, and I therefore never had an opportunity to refuse. But I am entirely in agreement with her decision not to do so, for the reasons stated in her February 12, 2025 letter to the Attorney General.
In short, the first justification for the motion-that Damian Williams's role in the case somehow tainted a valid indictment supported by ample evidence, and pursued under four different U.S. attorneys is so weak as to be transparently pretextual. The second justification is worse.
No system of ordered liberty can allow the Government to use the carrot of dismissing charges, or the stick of threatening to bring them again, to induce an elected official to support its policy objectives.
There is a tradition in public service of resigning in a last-ditch effort to head off a serious mistake. Some will view the mistake you are committing here in the light of their generally negative views of the new Administration. I do not share those views. I can even understand how a Chief Executive whose background is in business and politics might see the contemplated dismissal-with-leverage as a good, if distasteful, deal. But any assistant U.S. attorney would know much i i red oril, in this ily. wing the perset arthro he Reside is ving to,
give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.
Please consider this my resignation. It has been an honor to serve as a prosecutor in the
Southern District of New York.
Yours truly,
Hagan Scotten

Langston Hughes was a leader of the Harlem Renaissance-a poet, essayist, playwright & activist who gave voice to Black Americans.

Kendrick Lamar is a poet, rapper, & earned the Pulitzer Prize for music.

This image of their work speaks of racial injustice & is thought-provoking.
