Let's discuss the *actual* charges against Judge Hannah Dugan using the Complaint against her.
tl;dr - she sent the man in question into the public hallway where agents there to arrest him watched him walk by and did nothing. 1/

Wray, a life-long conservative Republican, points out that none of the 38,000 people working at the FBI are political appointees.
"They tackle the job with a level of rigor, and tenacity, and professionalism, and objectivity that I think is unparalleled." cbsn.ws/4j9ESUP

I spent all last year writing a REAL tough bipartisan border bill. So I know grandstanding when I see it.
1/ You need to know the truth about the Laken Riley Act, and how, if unamended by the Senate, it will make this country much less safe.

.@rachelvscott: “How critical is it to have access to what the House Ethics Committee has found in their investigation?”
Sen. Cornyn: “I think there should not be any limitation on the Senate Judiciary Committee’s investigation.”

I know there were a lot of early takes last week that the Dem base stayed home. But as the votes continue to be counted, we now know that Harris won more votes than Biden in 4 of 7 battlegrounds and ran almost exactly even with him across the 7 states.

We must review all information necessary to consider former Rep. Matt Gaetz’s nomination for Attorney General.
The House Ethics Committee must preserve and transmit its findings to us for review.

Appointing Gaetz as attorney general is designed to trigger the Libs. In reality, it is humiliating the senate’s new GOP majority. Before they even take office.

⚡️ Zelenskyy: There are $300 billion worth of frozen Russian assets. Russia has already caused more than $800 billion worth of damage in Ukraine. Can we take the $300 billion that belongs to us? Can we decide for ourselves what type of weapons we need?

Dear Justice Department Employees:
You work for the President of the United States, who is elected by all Americans.
Your job is to carry out his lawful orders.
If you have a policy disagreement with him, you can always resign and run for Congress.
But don’t obstruct justice.

A lot of pissed off people are joining us at Today’s Big Stuff, the newsletter that uses the exact right amount of profanity for these fucked up times.
We share important stories, we make fun of people like Doodie Pooliani and we cuss out fascist assholes. If that sounds like your jam, join us.

Where did Trump voters get their news? 📰
Yes, there's social and partisan sites, but there is another influential strategy that isn't getting enough attention: Manipulated, pay-to-play and all out fake news sites
I've been covering a mix of those for years. Here's a primer

Jack Smith’s best option now is likely a public report, per special counsel regs, to record for history Trump’s conduct to defraud 2020 election and steal government secrets. Write like the wind, Mr. Smith.
