Remember when a kid got years in North Korean prison for stealing a poster and everyone was like “what a terrifying country!” and now Americans are facing years in prison for touching floating paint chips...??
Funny joke! "Hey, remember that time we got millions of our online supporters to believe a supernatural entity called Q was sending cryptic messages about how a massive demonic pedophile ring was about to be exposed, drove them into a stupefied frenzy, and then nothing happened"
NEW: A federal judge appointed by George W. Bush has thrown out Justice Department subpoenas targeting Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and his allies, calling them an abusive and retaliatory effort to punish Walz for refusing to assist Trump’s immigration crackdown.
Judge Patrick Schiltz said there was “no doubt” the subpoenas were issued to damage Walz, writing: “Initiating a criminal investigation in order to harass political opponents or to coerce them into taking official action — particularly official action that the federal government cannot directly require those political opponents to take — is a blatantly unlawful and unethical use the grand-jury process.”
Katz: The way we talk about what scandals are on television is fundamentally disconnected from the lives mainers are living. How is it not a scandal that Susan Collins is married to a lobbyist who while she was on the committee deciding what firms get money, gave $76 million to her husband, that she has voted to fund wars that have enriched her own stock portfolio. Susan Collins and her lobbyist husband seem like a scandal.
Susan Collins about 100 years ago: I’ve been endorsed by planned parenthood and my record speaks for itself.
Planned Parenthood has now endorsed Graham Platner and Collins’ abhorrent record certainly does speak for itself.
BREAKING: Senate Democrats file legal brief supporting appeal of Judge Aileen Cannon’s decision blocking release of full Jack Smith report on Trump’s misuse of classified documents.

Will you ask her about the $76 million in taxpayer funds she funneled to her lobbyist husband?
Nobody in Maine can ask her, because she hasn’t done a town hall since Bill Clinton was president.
🚨BREAKING: Maryland Federal Court DISMISSES Department of Justice lawsuit to gain access to state voter data. A big victory for our clients Maryland/DC Alliance for Retired Americans and democracy.
DOJ is now 0-9 in these cases. We are undefeated.🗳️💪⚖️ https://t.co/ksCZx1rudO
Trump could have multiple Supreme Court vacancies to fill in the next two years.
If we don't replace Susan Collins in November, we could have an extremist Court locked in for a generation.
Jack Smith’s report on Donald Trump’s mishandling of classified documents and obstruction of justice is still hidden, thanks to Trump’s personal lawyers taking over the DOJ.
I’m filing a brief — joined by every member of @JudiciaryDems — to make it clear to the court that the corrupt process that hid the report must not prevail. Congress and the public are entitled to the truth.

*Just kidding.
He lost
Trump was powerless to call out the National Guard for Jan. 6, right? But suddenly he has the power to call out the National Guard to protect lumps of rubber floating in green slime?
