The first time President Obama met with his US Attorneys, he told us, “I appointed you but you don’t serve me. You serve the American people. And I expect you to act with independence & integrity.” None of us ever forgot that.


The headline here says it all: Whether the troops get paid is up to Trump, and only Trump.

NEW: Trump is now the only person with the power to keep 1.3 million active-duty military members from missing paychecks WH is reviewing options to intervene - but senior Hill Rs argue troop pay lapsing will show consequences of Dems’ actions politico.com/live-updates/2…



What you need to know about the Tish James indictment, with @PreetBharara and me: open.substack.com/pub/joycevance…


Not only did @NobelPrize ignore Trump’s campaign to win, they are lifting up a brave pro-democracy leader & writing to us explicitly about the path forward in our own country.

In the past year, #NobelPeacePrize laureate Maria Corina Machado has been forced to live in hiding. Despite serious threats against her life she has remained in the country, a choice that has inspired millions of people. When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to…

This is an incredibly important moment. States rights. What goes around can come around.

BREAKING: Republican Governor of Oklahoma comes out blasting deployment of National Guard from Texas to Illinois. Calls it a violation of States' Rights.  MAGA and Trump are increasingly isolated on this -- as they should be. We will not stop until this insanity ends.

The Fannie Mae guidelines on second home vs. investment are pretty squishy —and you’re allowed to rent a second home. Notably, indictment doesn’t say how long James rented the property out…or give much of a sense of when things happened at all



Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

Exclusive: Donald Trump’s hand picked US attorney asked grand jurors today to indict one of his perceived enemies, NY AG Leticia James, per two people familiar. Returns expected at any time. This after his previous US Attorney declined to bring the case. With @CarolLeonnig and…


Trump promised he’d deport violent criminals. Instead, ICE is going after legal residents and terrorizing children.

ICE smash car window & drag 2 sisters out—in front of elementary school at pick up time. 13 masked agents surround car—while children yelled "It's ICE!" running away in fear. "My name is Jocelyn, I'm from Cicero," she cries. "They forced us out of the car, they followed us...…

Breaking on MSNBC: Trump's handpicked U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan — who brought charges against James Comey — just presented evidence to a grand jury in the hopes of bringing criminal charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James.



Still have trouble remembering this isn’t SNL

RFK: "There's two studies which show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It's highly likely because they were given Tylenol."



In shutdowns, government lawyers can be designated essential to work on cases as needed. There is no reason to ask for delays.

"The court is required to continue its constitutional functions" US judges so far have rejected the Justice Department’s requests to delay more than a dozen legal challenges to Trump administration policies as the government shutdown enters its second week:…

From U.S. District Chief Judge Virginia Kendall: “At no point did I, nor the Building Security Committee, authorize or request the National Guard’s assistance to secure the Dirksen Courthouse.”

“Owning the libs” is expensive.

If Congressional Republicans let healthcare premiums rise, the biggest pain will be felt in Red States - as @SteveRattner noted on @Morning_Joe



Comey’s selective/vindictive prosecution defense keeps getting better and better.

Chris Hayes: New reporting from the Wall Street Journal tonight, that message that Trump posted to Pam Bondi online was meant to be basically a DM that he accidentally posted publicly... Pam was surprised to learn it was public. Bondi, upset, called the White House aides.



Some cases take on outsized importance, with issues that transcend the decision the parties ask the courts to make. This is one of those cases. The stakes are high: the integrity of the Justice Department and the ability of a president to corrupt the rule of law.…

Only Rand Paul & Lisa Murkowski joined Democrats in a measure that would have stopped Trump’s lethal strikes on supposed drug smugglers. Fetterman defected. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…


Everyone knows Trump wants to put troops on American streets. Crime is just an excuse, as a judge he put in the bench in Oregon during his first term, ruled over the weekend. Time to stop pretending this is anything other than a push for autocracy.


This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

NEW: Next week, the Supreme Court will re-hear a case that could allow Republicans to create 19 new safe U.S. House seats by gutting what’s left of the Voting Rights Act. The far-right majority may finally be ready to finish the VRA off. Here’s what’s at stake. ⬇️
