I just took action to save my local public media stations!

Public media is a lifeline for emergency alerts, educational content, and trusted news. If you value it, now’s the time to fight for its future. Email your lawmakers now: https://t.co/i7DxmgRVLn #ProtectMyPublicMedia

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." https://t.co/rBrGVerIW8

I spent all last year writing a REAL tough bipartisan border bill. So I know grandstanding when I see it.

"6 Things About Trump’s Hawkish New Defense Secretary That Should Scare The Hell Out Of You"

My explainer on Pete Hegseth's insanely hawkish views, from pre-emptively bombing North Korea to attacking Iranian cultural sites to building the Third Temple in Jerusalem.

It's bad:

Read this keeping in mind he intends to cut veterans benefits for millions. “Earned” means “not all of you deserve benefits and we’re going to take them away while privatizing the rest.” Bank on it.

.@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.”

[Tom Bonier @tbonier]

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.

[Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸 @JudiciaryDems]

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.

Up now on @lawfare: Ben Wittes' personal pledge on what Lawfare will do—and won't do—as we head into the next Trump administration.

If our ethos and coverage resonate, we would appreciate your contribution to keep us afloat these next 4 years and beyond. https://t.co/v4TS90pNwR

[Charlie Sykes @SykesCharlie]

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.

They take their oath to the Constitution, not the president.

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.

We're still doing this, huh?

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

[Barb McQuade @BarbMcQuade]

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.

[John Q. Barrett @JohnQBarrett]

Sometimes it’s a turn of the wheel. For example, if the 2023 U.S. v. Trump classified documents-related crimes grand jury indictment had not been randomly assigned to Judge Aileen Cannon, who turned out to be in the tank for the defendant,….
