A big @MSNBC scoop >>>> Trump border czar Tom Homan was under criminal investigation for potential bribery and claims he would steer fed contracts in new administration. Undercover @FBI agents recorded him accepting $50k in cash. Trump @TheJusticeDept shuttered the probe

Hey journalists, if you have not already done so, now is the time to file a FOIA request for Mar-a-Lago report so that it can’t be destroyed by new DOJ leaders when they take over. If (when?) dismissal or pardons of co-Ds occur, there will be no legal basis for refusing to comply.

@IffyTheDopester It’s close, but PUDGE!

In April, The Biden-Harris Labor Department expanded overtime pay rules.

Roughly 4.3 million more workers would have been eligible for OT pay under the new rule.

A Trump-appointed judged blocked it yesterday.

Go ahead and keep telling me that the GOP is the party of workers.

[Student Press Law Center @SPLC]

After threatening @idsnews on social media ("We will be happy to stop it for them"), incoming Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith doubles down in an interview with the student-run publication. https://t.co/v3oQ9fTuOG

🗣️ Let's be clear: The First Amendment prohibits content-based retaliation against the IDS. And if your goal is a student press that reflects various viewpoints — including those less widely accepted — we can assure you that government interference is not the answer.

I'm sympathetic to Harris, but she was a mediocre candidate. And I think the evidence points toward this being a winnable race for Democrats with a better one.
