Just as Supreme Court Justice Katani Brown Jackson predicted, when her fellow Republican Justices granted Trump immunity.
"The White House will become the epicenter of world crime". She warned us.

Safer roads? Stuart Adams is fully responsible for making Salt Lake City’s far less safe for now and into the future. All because he’s not smart enough to drive downtown.

Due to significant flooding, I have issued a Declaration of Emergency Election Accommodations to allow San Juan County voters who are unable to reasonably travel to in-person polling or drop box locations on Election Day to request and return their ballots electronically.

I didn’t know they could even drive…

[Senator Ankit Jain @senatorjain]

🚨 MYTH: The Constitution requires D.C. to remain exactly as it is.

✅ FACT: It requires a federal seat of government, NOT that all of today's D.C. remain part of it.

D.C. statehood is constitutional. D.C. residents deserve equal representation.

Unbelievable. It is unfathomable that this admin wants to spend $300M to repair the sea wall and REDUCE access to the peninsula for everything other than elite golfers.

Plans at the NCPC show NO Ohio Drive. NO playground. NO park. This is completely unacceptable and a gross misuse of taxpayer dollars and the original intent of this PUBLIC PARK.

To be clear, the plans explicitly note that the overhaul would displace all other forms of recreation.

It is downright digusting.

Jack Evans needs to be permanently banished from the halls of DC government in every way, shape, and form.

He abused the power of his office. He only stood up for wealthy supporters rather than the whole of Ward 2. And he hasn't changed since being rightly forced to resign.

[Alex Koma @AlexKomaDC]

This probably isn't stunning news to anyone in D.C. politics, but: ex-Ward 2 CM Jack Evans tells me he plans to apply for the interim appointment and then run in the special election for the at-large seat.

Unearthed video: Bill Clinton praises the 2007 University of Michigan senior speaker, Abdul El-Sayed, on his commencement speech

"I don't want to embarrass your senior speaker. But I wish every person in the world who believes that we are fated to have a clash of civilizations and cannot reach across the religious divides could've heard you speak today. I just wish every person in the world could've heard you speak today."

Kelly: Trump went through life as a guy who avoided Vietnam. He didn’t want to serve. He doesn’t understand service. He’s intimidated by people who served.

So he wants to project this tough-guy image and just go around dropping bombs on things at every opportunity.

And I think with Hegseth, it’s something different. He seems to operate as a secretary of defense as you would expect a junior officer might. He cares about those kinds of things, how people look, beards, uniforms, gym shorts. And then, to project his tough-guy image, he runs around on a stage and talks about maximum lethality.

So I think you have insecurity in both of them for different reasons.

The result is dead Americans, a lot of dead Iranians, 800 injured Americans, tens of billions of dollars wasted. And what did the American people get out of this?

They got higher prices, and now they can’t afford to put gas in their car. And half of the country is having a hard time affording food because the president and the secretary of defense are clueless, have no idea what they’re doing.

@repastoddard And who listens to Owens, anyway?

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Oligarchs in California spent $379 million against Prop 40, a 5% billionaire wealth tax, outraising supporters 250-1.

They’d rather poor kids die than pay a little more in taxes. Obscene.

California, send these oligarchs a message: Democracy is not for sale.

Vote for Prop 40.

If any of these artists have any moral compass they'll boycott the ceremony.

@katharinemcphee, please encourage your husband to stand up for what's decent (and to stand up for the Canadian half of his passport holdings) - thank you!

Breaking news: The Kennedy Center named singers Paul Anka and Barbara Mandrell, music producer David Foster, actor Andy Garcia, and playwright David Mamet as this year’s honorees, announcing its selections a little more than a month before the ceremony. https://t.co/5P1G9o8PDb

@masonisonx @atrupar In the 23 years I've lived in DC I recall zero drowning deaths in the reflecting pool.

[Rudi Riet #Repeal2A #ClimateEmergency #SafeStreets @randomduck]

Hey MAGA: you voted for this... whatever it is.

The guy has no facts to back this up. DC resident here and I can count the number of confirmed drownings in the Reflecting Pool over the past 23 years I've lived here on zero hands, zero fingers needed.

Dementia is cruel.

Trump: "We were losing on average to death 3 people a week. And now we don't have that."

My unpopular opinion is that DC and PR should become states before Ohio. Don't argue with me on this.

[Rudi Riet #Repeal2A #ClimateEmergency #SafeStreets @randomduck]

Ummm... no.

After all: who accepted an illegal donation of a $400M jet from the largest funder of the Muslim Brotherhood?

Hint: it's the fascist charlatan whose boots you lick and abhorrent behavior you promote and enable.

You betray the people of Utah and the U.S.

A vote for Abdul El-Sayed is a vote for the Muslim Brotherhood

Dear @DOJRR47: Looks like I was right and you were wrong.

AG Todd Blanche is covering up the Epstein files and was coaching Ghislaine Maxwell. @AGToddBlanche is a monster.

DOJ is asking the Supreme Court to allow Donald Trump's DOJ dictate how California counts votes.

It is asking the 9th Circuit to allow Donald Trump's DOJ to dictate how Alaska certifies elections.

Elias Law Group is fighting in both cases. When we fight, we win.🗳️⚖️💪
