The rank-and-file career federal prosecutors at the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division who specialize in excessive force cases are not playing any role in the investigation into the shooting death of Alex Pretti by two federal agents

(Guardian) — Iran has spurned two messages from Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, seeking a ceasefire as its leaders sense it is not losing the war and the US president is at the minimum feeling the political pressure.

Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing.
They know that the American people do not want a war
IMHO, I think the use of outdated maps or AI might have played a role. But I am NOT an expert. Nor do I have the knowledge that Schatz would have.
Last year: e-cigarette makers donate to Trump's bangin' ballroom.
This year: Trump admin says it'll allow e-cigarette makers to offer more, delicious flavors.

It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.
No, you sycophantic chode. He’s not stopping the threat, he’s encouraging an attack.
Apparently, Kegseth hasn’t destroyed their ability to drop truth bombs.
Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels.
The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources.
It’s time for accountability.
Not really breaking any news here.
Yes, let’s take the war criminal who is a proven liar at his word. What a masterful negotiator this guy must be.
A judge just said the Trump administration likely ran unconstitutional immigration policies in Minnesota… then let them keep going. That’s the madness: government breaks the law, court spots it, public pays for the privilege.
Pleased to note that Martin is one of the people in Trump World I wrote about last year. (I also rang the bell about Noem years ago and her white knights sent me death threats.They are a strange bunch.)

NEW: Iran has begun laying mines in the strait of Hormuz. Would Trump like to send Brain Kilmeade to "show some guts" and captain a tanker through there now? www.cnn.com/world/live-n...
NEW: DOJ sued Washington State for access to the state's unreacted voter data. However, it failed to file proof that it served the complaint. So now the federal judge has asked DOJ to show cause as to why this case should not be dismissed. www.democracydocket.com/cases/washin...

"A researcher at a far-right think tank helped Justice Department prosecutors craft their indictment for terror charges against an alleged 'north Texas antifa cell,' the researcher testified Monday."
Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."
NEW: Federal judge has ordered pardoned Jan 6 riot defendant Jonathan Munafo to be detained and transferred to New York
Munafo faces new accusation of violating supervised release in separate threat case
WATCH: “Bill fails for lack of motion”
Jody Barrett’s abortion death penalty bill dies, failing to even get a motion to be heard from his own Republican supermajority
Not something you see every day. Impressive stuff, Jody! 😬
That Dem consultants told Gov. Walz to stop calling them “weird” still has me miffed.
I rarely do this, but here goes.
Dems should have VERY clear messaging on supplemental tied to the ouster of Whiskey Pete, Jared, and Witkoff. They've all ABSOLUTELY bolloxed the situation and if Trump wants $$, he needs to get rid of all of them.
Thanks for your posting. Judges seem to finally just be DONE with DOJ crap and 'sloppiness' and blaming staffing issues of their own making like that's an excuse.
The document was then opened and edited for about an hour and a half. Minor stylistic changes were made, but no edits to the citations at issue.
Didn't catch his name, but someone from the US Attorney's office is now presenting the forensic history of the documents that were filed. The document was only opened for 25 minutes, probably indicating copy and paste from AI.
holy shit DOJ just threw this idiot under the bus
There's a new Trump-Epstein statue on the National Mall.
It's an enormous statue, spray-painted gold, of Trump embracing Epstein in a reenactment of that famous scene from "Titanic."

I made this a year ago, so CBS should now be under state run news. but other than that I think it still holds.
