In a dramatic turnabout, the Justice Dept asked to dismiss its case against two defendants convicted in the FIFA corruption case (Hernan Lopez & Full Play Group)

DOJ gave no explanation other than it was in the "interests of justice."

I don’t know how anyone can keep reading these stories without feeling unbearable shame. We’re ruining lives for no reason at all. It’s just repulsive

[Larry Sabato @LarrySabato]

History will harshly judge the failure of our legal/political system to hold Trump accountable for his attempt to overturn the 2020 election (including his sponsorship of Jan6). So many culprits: Supreme Court, Merrick Garland, Republicans in Congress, and yes, 77 million voters.

How many fossil fuel-funded Republicans does it take to deliver on one president's promise?

Trump pledged to cut your energy bills in half. Instead, costs are UP 10% and STILL CLIMBING.

Shutdown and higher premiums for you, swag bags for them. Priorities.

Trump: I don’t think there’s anything that’s going to get me into heaven. I think I’m not heaven bound. I’m not sure I’m going to be able make heaven

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.
