“The nature of the suit itself and the conduct of the Parties and counsel from its filing make plain that this was an attempt to use the Court to provide some legitimacy to an agreement to confer immunity to people and entities affiliated with the President and to earmark billions of dollars from American taxpayers to redress grievances not defined in the law,” U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams wrote
BREAKING: In a major blow to Donald Trump, a judge ruled that his lawsuit against the IRS over his leaked tax returns was filed for an “improper purpose,” recommending sanctions against his attorney and disciplinary action.
Lindsey Graham’s dedication to the cause of freedom inspired the oppressed and chastened the tyrants. A most fitting tribute to his life will be the unwavering support for the people of Ukraine.
Lindsey Graham and I had a complicated relationship.
Before Trump, we were friends. We traveled together on congressional trips around the world, including visiting Syrian refugee camps where we met children whose lives had been shattered by war. Those moments reminded us why public service mattered.
After Trump, we went in very different directions, and we eventually stopped speaking. I never hid those disagreements, and I won’t rewrite that history today.
But death has a way of putting things in perspective. I choose to remember the man I knew before our paths diverged—the one who cared deeply about America’s role in the world and wasn’t afraid to see suffering up close.
Rest in peace, Lindsey. My prayers are with his family and all who loved him.
The government cannot conscript journalists as a first resort in its efforts to investigate internal leaks. Undermining journalists’ ability to protect confidential sources will ultimately hurt the public’s ability to understand what is happening in its government. Hauling reporters before grand juries sends a chilling message to journalists and whistleblowers alike: watch what you say, or expect a knock on the door.
These tactics are becoming more common. That doesn’t make them normal.
An outrageous breach of press freedom by this White House against @nytimes reporters. Every American should be appalled and angry. https://t.co/44mxl4xBOq
One of the most blatant forms of hypocrisy of our time is when Christians hold all ordinary people accountable to the most rigid moral standards, all while holding themselves and their preferred politicians accountable to no standards at all.
the one conspiracy i believe is that this place is full of bots programmed to say insane, incendiary things and they're funded by foreign organizations who want to divide americans and destabilize US society
A key difference is that Democratic socialists don't have real economic proposals. They have empty slogans that they've never been able to develop into serious legislation. They cannot enact their agenda because there is nothing substantive to pass.
Once you accept that Donald Trump is simply a mobster who does not care about any social issues, any geopolitical issues, any economic issues, etc., and that his sole, reptilian purpose is to enrich himself by any means, legal or not, it all makes sense.
