#BREAKING: Liz Oyer: “I was shocked to hear Mr Blanche’s testimony about this yesterday. What he said about my firing is provably false. His claim that it had nothing to do with the concerns I raised is contradicted by documents and evidence. His claim that he tried to call me before sending marshals to my home is flat out false. His claim that it is normal for DOJ to use armed law enforcement officers to deliver mail to the homes of its former employees is preposterous. The casual lies that Mr Blanche tells, even while sitting in this chair testifying to this committee, are emblematic of a much larger problem. To the American public, it looks like Mr Blanche is running DOJ as Donald Trump’s personal law firm. Americans across the political spectrum rely on DOJ to keep us safe and free. Mr Blanche has shown that he is willing to put all of that at risk to serve a political agenda. I beg the members of this committee to think about what this is costing our country. Please do not degrade our justice system further by promoting Mr Blanche.” 😳
@seanspicer@PressSec This speech, a bunch of lies and misinformation about an election during his administration he can't admit he lost, is not in the public interest.
@RadioFreeTom Daylight savings time does not work in the winter in northern New England. We tried it in the 1970s - no one wants to wait for the sun to rise until 9 am.
This action by the US government to subpoena reporters for reporting legitimate news on security concerns about Air Force 1 should alarm every American.
“The appearance of federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the Constitution and the press freedom it protects,” said David McCraw, The Times’s top newsroom lawyer, in a statement on Friday evening.
This is one of the most powerful videos I have ever seen. Inspired by the March of a Thousand Robes in Poland, retired and sitting judges in the United States walked down the streets of Columbus to stand up for the Rule of Law.
Obama:
It is possible for me to be a great admirer of George Washington and also acknowledge he was a slaveholder. And that does not negate his greatness.
That simply acknowledges that there is a profound, deep flaw in these Founding Fathers, who were also geniuses and gave us these tools.
Which is true of all of us, right? It's true of every president. We're this mixed bag.
We've got contradictions and embody the country's contradictions.

Katie Miller has a master's degree and a career. It appears that she has consistently worked since she was 20. She can open a bank account, own property, and have a credit card in her name. She has access to no-fault divorce and would be entitled to child support for her baby if she and Stephen Miller divorce. She has laws protecting her against physical abuse and rape by her spouse. She had access to birth control and abortion, meaning that having a baby was a choice.
She is very much not living the life that the "propaganda. . . convinced" women was oppressive. She is living the life that feminism made possible.
Of course, she knows this. She's just a liar.
Hayes: Yesterday the senate majority basically staged a sham vote intentionally, like a show, like a little play where she and a couple of other Republicans also up for reelection, got to cast meaningless votes against Donald Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund for insurrectionists.
Everyone knew that it was doomed to fail from the beginning. They weren't actually going to vote it down, because Republicans don't actually want to cross the leader of their party.
So what they do is Collins gets to pretend to be independent when it doesn’t actually matter. But this is the other part of this. When everything is on the line, well, then Collins is a reliable vote. She's demonstrated she was always stand with Trump…
Retired Lt. General @MarkHertling: “I’m sorry for getting emotional, but that comment from @PeteHegseth that diversity is not our strength is bullshit.”
Hertling shows pictures of fallen soldiers to refute Hegseth’s nonsense. Powerful.

@saletan@ByronDonalds The DOJ did not try to fight the suit. It did not raise available defenses that it would have raised if it wanted to challenge this suit.
@kell71191@atrupar Not all of us. Go to a "No Kings" rally - and see the multitude of Boomers protesting this administration. And we were never called the "greatest generation" - that reference is to our parents.
President Trump's $1.776 billion settlement with the IRS is one of the single most corrupt acts in American history.
They moved fast to avoid the scrutiny of the judicial process, and very likely violated the Constitution. This is an outrage.
