Judgeโ€™s rebuke of DOJ in raid on journalistโ€™s home exposes bigger problem A prosecutor failed to mention a law protecting journalists before searching Hannah Natansonโ€™s residence โ€” and faced little more than a public scolding

Itโ€™s deeply alarming to have DOJ lawyers decide they donโ€™t have to tell judges about the Privacy Protection Act when theyโ€™ve unilaterally decided it doesnโ€™t apply because a reporter is โ€œinvolvedโ€ in a crime.

There are so many children who are being imprisoned in Trump's torture mills where the food & water are foul.

No children should be treated this way, no adults should either.

Make sure your friends & family hear about #ICELawlessness.

Ask them: What if this was your precious child?

 Bezos finally sitting down with staffers at The Post isnโ€™t the only course correction happening over at the newspaper this week. It appears the paperโ€™s leadership may be reconsidering the scope of those cuts, Status has learned, quietly reaching out to at least 10 laid-off staffers to gauge their interest in returning to the paper in new roles. โ€œMatt Murray seems to be reversing course,โ€ one staffer told Status of The Postโ€™s executive editor.

The overtures, which multiple people familiar with the matter said have been conducted on an individual basis, spanned several departments. Former employees contacted include reporters on the national, sports, metro, technology, and climate desks, among others. Spokespeople for The Post declined to comment.

The whiplash nature of the effort, that appears to represent a tacit acknowledgement that the initial cuts might have gone too deep, has left staffers perplexed. One newsroom insider said the range of beats involved made it seem like leadership โ€œdoesnโ€™t quite have a plan,โ€ adding sarcastically: โ€œshocking!โ€ Another staffer suggested that the attempt to potentially plug some holes in the paperโ€™s sports coverage suggests that they realized the department โ€œactually created content that sold ads,โ€ something that should be very important for a media company trying to boost its financial fortunes

Meanwhile, the WashPost appears to be trying to rehire some of the people -- including sports, metro and climate reporters -- they fired just a few weeks ago.

82 million can't afford health care, but Hegseth gets lobster | Opinion More than 82 million Americans are having to skip meals, borrow money or cut back on utilities so they can afford health care.

82 million Americans can't afford health care, but Hegseth gets lobster? The Department of Defense spent $93 billion in September while many are skipping meals to afford doctor visits. Thatโ€™s some bulls--t.

KILMEADE: You think Putin is helping Iran?

TRUMP: I think he might be helping them a little bit, yeah, & he probably thinks we're helping Ukraine, right?

K: You are, right?

T: Yeah, we're helping them also, & so he says that, & China would say the same thing. It's like, hey, they do it & we do it

The Trump Economy is an utter disaster and the American people are hurting.

Prices are up across the board. Fewer jobs. Rising unemployment. Thatโ€™s all Trump.

More than 10 countries have asked Ukraine for help defending against Shahed drones, President Volodymyr Zelensky says. Zelensky added interceptor drones alone cannot provide effective protection without trained operators, software and a systemic air defense approach. #Ukraine

Why are unprecedented violations of the constitution happening? Because the Supreme Court keeps encouraging Trump to violate the constitution with de facto impoundments, overruling lower courts that have actually tried to rein him in.

Opinion | What Are We Living Through in Trump 2.0? Here Are 3 Possibilities.

Great and insightful conversation about the different ways of viewing the Trump administration:
*an authoritarian break with American traditions
*simply exposing the existing rot in those traditions
*a legal form of extraordinary politics (Trump's view)
