New in PN: The 1,287,923 defects in the Comey case ... so far

"Halligan is finding out that prosecuting a case is harder than it looks — particularly when that case has already been rejected by seasoned prosecutors as unwinnable. And her appointment may not even be legal, meaning that the indictment is a legal nullity … which may actually be the least embarrassing outcome here for the DOJ."

Donald Trump suggests that we should have ultra wealthy pay our military while he keeps the government shut down

Gee, what a novel concept. Can't imagine a single thing that would go wrong with a privately funded military controlled by a few obscenely wealthy people

The Black Panther Party was founded #OnThisDay in 1966.

From a 2016 article commemorating its 50th anniversary:

"The work of the Black Panthers remains important for several reasons. First, they remind us that the problem of police brutality has long been with us [...]

Second, the BPP offers a good model of grassroots activism and ideology in practice."

NPR reported in 2024 that Trump’s circle allegedly urged Netanyahu not to finalize Biden’s ceasefire proposal— to wait so Trump could claim it after his election victory. Netanyahu, facing criminal prosecution at home and needing Trump’s political cover, agreed. The framework sat on the table gathering dust while the political calendar aligned for Trump’s preferred timing.

The cost of that delay: approximately 20,000 additional Palestinian deaths.

#Louisiana appealed to #SCOTUS but
eventually added a second majority Black district after the justices’ 5-4 ruling in 2023 that found a likely violation of the #VotingRightsAct in a similar case over Alabama’s congressional map.

#JohnRoberts & Justice Brett #Kavanaugh joined their 3 more liberal colleagues in the #Alabama outcome. Roberts rejected what he described as “Alabama’s attempt to remake our section 2 jurisprudence anew.”

BREAKING: Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva says Speaker Johnson is delaying her swearing-in — not because of procedure, but because she’d be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files.

“He’s silencing 800,000 Arizonans and stalling democracy just to keep those files sealed.” 👀

This is Juliane Gallina Gloss, Deputy Director of the CIA. Her 21 year old son was tragically killed fighting in the Ukraine-Russia War. He had volunteered to fight with the Russian forces.

Sometimes Fox News inadvertently acts like a news outlet.

Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Mark Hertling: “For the record, there are 17 pages worth of requirements, and the only people that buy this shortened version from Hegseth are truly dummies.”

Dems can keep paying consultants for talking points, keep holding press conferences, and keep pretending like we live in a redeemable timeline—but we live with a co-opted executive branch led by racist, xenophobic idiots who do not believe in law & are empowered by a slavish SCOTUS. https://trib.al/J6F0Q47

This is horrifying. Not surprising. Or unbelievable. It’s just, seeing it out in the light.

Alex Dwyer, Anne KayKaty, Bobby Walker, Joe Maligno, Luke Mosiman, Peter Giunta, Samuel Douglass, Brianna Douglass, and Rachel Hope.

Know their names. Know that they are repugnant trash. Ostracize and ban them from everything.

Young Nazis, not Young Republicans. Literally.
