What happened to Charlie Kirk is unconscionable, but it was literally a few months ago that two Democratic state legislators were gunned down by a right wing activist. Let’s not pretend this is one-sided
BREAKING: A fed. judge
(Judge James E. Boasberg)
smashes the emergency glass by announcing a criminal contempt investigation into Trump administration officials for defying his order by deporting Venezuelan migrants w/odue process. The legal rubber is finally meeting the road!
Statement from a Representative of the Tice family:
“We appreciate whatever mission is ongoing to help families of ISIS victims find closure. However, an initial and erroneous report that Austin Tice was identified among the remains was quickly and completely contradicted. The gratuitous repetition of this rumor is designed for clicks and is unfortunate and deeply disrespectful to the family.”

Betrayed: I stepped on my colleagues spilled blood, then I was covered on my own after repeatedly being assaulted by the same fkers who claim to support the police and the rule of law. Trump/GOP have sided with the attackers/defend these criminals, while calling us “thugs”.
The nominees to run HHS, CDC, NIH, include an antivax environmental lawyer, a primary care doctor who believes vaccines cause autism, and a health economist who advocated to let COVID run wild, are not qualified to manage a potential national health emerg. https://t.co/Vw6WOgA7F9

The exchange above, if accurate, shows why. Asked if he understood that plaintiffs' request for communications encompassed emails, he apparently replied that emails are more like documents. But you think the plaintiffs did not also ask for responsive documents? Yeah, me too. 2/
Giuliani is being cross examined right now about his alleged intrasigence in responding to discovery about the assets he owes to former GA election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.
