I've said since Trump picked on Mahmoud Khalil that he was picking his political martyrs poorly. But this one... https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo&cid=bafkreifpnjqcmqjimkzkf2tficpewck7qhbpjzdwbwwbwh3bj2nyvayl4i

Understand that the Halligan thing is 100% Pam Bondi's fuck-up. She could have appointed Halligan Special Attorney and this thing would still be alive. So it's not just that HALLIGAN is an incompetent bigot. It's that Bondi is too.

I guess Lindsey can go back to whitewashing (literally) slavery at the Smithsonian now.

It's unclear how many times Marco Rubio can do this--hastily convene all of Europe to present a counteroffer that Russia will inevitably refuse, only to have the Russians throw a few more bribes onto the funeral pyre of the Western order and with those bribes rope in a few more venal Trump flunkies.

I can't decide which details from this NYT piece will bother Kash Patel more: referring to his side piece as an "aspiring" country singer or describing how his work ethic (doesn't) compare with Robert Mueller's? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/23/u... https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo&cid=bafkreied5eqwrwf5mmtuoqkjcdzybvlak5lara4b25e37oymdi7lgzdhae https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo&cid=bafkreie4ew2ty63ruflexcdst2m44vpt4du2eosf3gjgwqn3xlnmsii4ra

The charge the Comey grand jury rejected pertains to this doc--prosecutors still want to use it to prove existing Count Two. Kash misleadingly declassified it in 2020 and declassified Durham annex this year. Kash is stalling on declassifying whole thing. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo&cid=bafkreibctkni3jr467awm7qagtmaav5zqndur5opbyu3hdmqdpqcdhgr3u

Anyone besides me find it odd that the Piece Plan Steve Witkoff is pushing on Ukraine mandates DEI and claims to oppose Nazi ideology?

Jim Comey's discovery requests say DC USAO destroyed records relating to journalists (Mike Schmidt, Adam Goldman, Matt Apuzzo, and Eric Lichtblau) when they closed that investigation, which is good news, if true, for them, but a problem for prosecutors. legacy.www.documentcloud.org/documents/26... https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo&cid=bafkreidb5ohzgn6cv3dvgictcrfcle6ij5svzwqai6rkm6gfcef6cx7dge
