A heist in broad daylight
My emotional support Canadians still love me. But maybe I should send them a gift card for a chai LOL.
AP characterizes a large banner featuring President Trump’s face on the exterior of DoJ headquarters today as a physical display of his efforts to exert power over the agency that once investigated him and a striking symbol of the erosion of the department’s tradition of independence.
For a moment, I was checking my calendar and then remembered you are on the other side of the world!
I am super surprised they couldn't go in where the Tanger Outlets are. That's a great location.
Oh, man! I love Exodus! I saw Maiden around the same time.
I saw the Clash of the Titans tour with Anthrax, Megadeth, and Slayer back in the day. Alice in Chains opened for them. It was sooooo good.
Was this part of the Iron Maiden tour?!
I'm old enough to remember when President Nixon was putting journalists in jail.
Why is it always the Republicans who attack the press?
Why do they hate the 1st Amendment?
It's been a long day. I went to get my Lenten ashes, and I'm UNC; minister is Duke. So, I told him I repented that fave number was 3, as in the 3-pointer we beat Duke by. He was cackling as he marked my entire forehead. You could see this cross from space.
Mind you, confession wasn't required
White. I'm boring LOL
BONDI: You didn't ask Merrick Garland anything about Epstein
BALINT: Weak sauce
BONDI: And with this antisemitic culture right now, she voted against a resolution--

JUST IN: Maryland preservation officials — prompted by a local citizen’s petition — have reopened their review of a proposed Hagerstown ICE detention center, requesting details about a road relocation project that may be linked to the facility.
The state had issued approval on Jan. 29.
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) asks Pam Bondi if there were underage girls at parties attended by Trump and Epstein
"This isn't unprecedented American darkness.
This IS America.
It always has been. The question is whether the people who've been insulated from it will finally pay attention."

And then there’s Hegseth, who just authorized the use of a local military base as a “staging site.”
Don’t listen to Homan or Trump. This administration only knows how to lie.
THERE IS NO PIVOT
Make sure to leave their address if constiuents, otherwise they do not have to tally the call as part of the official record.
Maryland Democrats moved closer to redrawing the state’s congressional map Tuesday, as a key House committee approved legislation that would eliminate the state’s last GOP-held U.S. House seat and position Maryland as a counterweight to Republican gerrymanders nationwide.
Once again proving why he is the Boss.
I made a promise to Alex’s parents to continue to tell his story.
An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.
More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

Picking up grocery order and it is pure freaking chaos. Welcome to NC winter storm warning weather.
This is what they're doing to our sons, our daughters, our children.
Bipartisan negotiators released a DHS funding bill that does not significantly reduce ICE and CBP’s funding nor rein in the agencies’ abuses of power.
Make no mistake: Any Democrat who votes for this bill is complicit in Trump’s campaign of terror.
Grow a spine and vote no.
Trump lets another drug trafficker out of prison because his father happens to be a Republican member of Congress.
