BREAKINGNEWS: The Alantic Reporter that broke open the story regarding FBI Director Kash Patel @S_Fitzpatrick says her reporting is accurate and the Alantic has excellent attorneys. 🚨

Trump ripped up the Iran nuclear deal and created this mess. Now, he's putting servicemembers in harm's way with no clear plan and no Congressional approval. The American people deserve answers — and Congress needs to do its job.

There has been no harsher critic to U.S. military action in Iran than Pope Leo XIV: “War is back in vogue and a zeal for war is spreading.  The principle established after the Second World War, which prohibited nations from using force to violate the borders of others, has been completely undermined. “Peace is no longer sought as a gift and a desirable good in itself, or in the pursuit of the establishment of the ordered universe willed by God, with a more perfect form of justice among men and women.” “Instead, peace is sought through weapons as a condition for asserting one’s own dominion. “This gravely threatens the rule of law, which is the foundation of all peaceful civil coexistence.”

Throwback to Pam Bondi’s campaign ad for Florida AG “I’ll fight to put human trafficking monsters where they belong. Behind bars.” The ad aged. The internet remembers.

Today a federal court made clear Pete Hegseth violated the Constitution when he tried to punish me for something I said. This is a critical moment to show this administration they can't keep undermining Americans' rights. I also know this might not be over yet, because Trump and Hegseth can't admit when they are wrong.

BREAKING: Multiple Epstein victims tell NBC News that Pam Bondi intentionally un-redacted their names and other victims' names as a way to threaten them into silence! “I think we all realize now that [the DOJ] really wanted to silence us, and [they] thought that [they] could scare us by putting our names out there.” “It had a list of victims, and one was redacted. That makes no sense. This is a list of victims. That is INTENTIONAL!” This is an impeachable offense. Pam Bondi needs to be impeached immediately!

Bondi's charade As Florida's attorney general, Bondi was in a position to stop Epstein. Instead she remained silent. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjou…

If you really care about the Epstein story and cover-up, you should be following this account.

🚨 Rep. Stansbury doesn’t mince words: “The United States government is engaged in an active cover-up of the largest sex-trafficking and influence-peddling scandal in our history — and Donald Trump is right at the center of it.” That’s a sitting member of Congress saying it out loud.

This morning we stood with the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein as they courageously shared their stories. While I have personally lost all faith in the justice system, I will never lose faith in the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The era of cover-ups is over. We will stand beside survivors until our last breath to make sure rich and powerful predators get their day of reckoning. HOLD THE LINE.

To make clear: when Trump called the chief, it was after the Epstein story became public — when Epstein was arrested. Palm beach police had been investigating the case since 2005. My gift link to the story is here:

The public is reading the files too. They can see with their own eyes.

I invite all Americans to join Minnesota in a day of unity tomorrow.

BREAKING: Jared Moskowitz just had the moment of the day by humiliating Kristi Noem. This is a must watch.

I'm a former defense attorney and currently a civil liberties attorney with no political dog in this fight. I watched the video at least 10 times from different angles and at different speeds and waited to offer an opinion, which I still reserve the right to change if additional information changes the calculus. It is very clear that the officers instigated the confrontation. The woman initially tried to wave them past her. ICE officers have no authority to search a US citizen or arrest her (unless there's probable cause to believe she's harboring undocumented individuals, not a contention here). A woman surrounded by masked, armed men who have no law enforcement authority over her has every right to try to escape. Video shows her steering wheel is turned to the right, clearly an attempt to leave WITHOUT hitting anyone and steer clear of the officer standing towards the front of her car. That officer had time to step to the side, which is where he was when he shot her. Even a real police officer would not have the right to shoot at her for trying to flee. This is well-established in the case law; deadly force may not be used simply to prevent someone from getting away. Given that the ICE officers had no law enforcement authority to begin with, AND the video footage shows she was trying to escape a perceived threat, not to kill anyone, the crime is all the more inexcusable. I'm praying for the victim's family, especially her children. I'm also praying for all the conservatives who are so unprincipled and lost they're excusing this terrible crime, and gloating over a death that will leave three young children motherless, because of the victim's politics.
