Putting the full force of DOJ behind a political agenda is the scariest thing you can do
&Todd Blanche is doing it
But we stopped his phony crony U.S. attorneys cold

Executive orders
Redistricting
Ballot seizures

FCC Chair Carr bragged that Trump is "winning" against the press — & that "soon enough CNN will have new ownership"
That's not a regulator
That's a loyalist

It's an illegal power grab — & we're fighting it

Fewer choices
Layoffs for working people
Basic economics & basic authoritarianism
This week's note on @@contrariannews.org breaks down why this deal is bad for America — on every level -TN
Follow the money: The Ellison bid for Warner Bros may be backed by Saudi Arabia, Qatar & the UAE

The Supreme Court's ruling in Zorn v. Linton illustrates the pathologies of both its current approach to qualified immunity doctrine and its willingness to resolve appeals in such cases summarily.
