“The unproven claim that the boats are tied to terrorist organizations should be scrutinized — no evidence has been presented connecting the boats to drug cartels the Trump administration has designated as terrorist organizations, and narcotics trafficking does not qualify as terrorist activity under federal law.”

Fasicst, not just fascistic. But yes!
“In the first meeting for DOJ’s field office leaders since since voters repudiated the Trump agenda at the polls, Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General Aakash Singh advised US attorneys and their first assistants to consider resigning if they’re not prepared for full-on battle and to obey the administration’s orders, said three people briefed on the call.”

So maybe Trump's wrong about why the polls are off? He was even more hated on election day than the days prior...
Trump's approval is at 32% in a new Reuters-Ipsos poll of U.S. adults.
Only 21% approve of how he's handling the cost of living. 25% approve on the economy. Immigration, his best issue, is at 38%.

There is no presidential term in history that comes remotely close in terms of the rampant corruption and profiteering. I think the SCT immunity decision, the lack of DOJ independence and the expectation of pardons for those loyal to Trump explains much of it too.
When you compare the mostly petty corruption of the first Trump term with the outrageousness of the second, the fact that Trump is 80 years old and term-limited feels like a central fact. | @baseballcrank

If there’s a lane for him to win, he’ll run. No one gets dinged for failing to live up to a pledge to serve out a senate term.

It’s hard to describe how outrageously irresponsible and wrong this is. And almost certainly on orders from Trump personally.
The DOJ sent TARGET LETTERS to Marc Elias and others in a huge escalation of the Alaska squabbling. Such letters by DOJ practice and regulation only go to people whom they intend to indict. Elias is Mary Peltola's lawyer. A stunning move that is likely to backfire badly.

Thugs working for the ultimate thug.
Probe that led to charges against 2 former top FBI officials was ordered by FBI Director Kash Patel hours after Trump gave a speech denouncing Intel officials for favoring Biden, according to FBI agent, who said he feared case would be seen as political

This DOJ is setting records that will live in infamy for the number of no true bills. No one will even get the ham sandwich jokes anymore. And GREAT
NEW: MS NOW has reported, according to two people with knowledge of the case, that a D.C. federal grand jury declined to indict Cassidy Hutchinson today. This is yet another no true bill for DOJ in D.C. courts. From @CarolLeonnig, @mychaelschnell, @falgallagher, and @caseyagannon:

Any study of the grand jury system will need to have an * that covers the Bondi/Blanche/Trump years, when grand jurors were like “fuck no” every other day.
There was a no bill today in federal court, and Tuesday is the day that a federal grand jury has heard testimony in the Cassidy Hutchinson probe.
WaPo is confirming it was indeed a failed attempt to indict Cassidy Hutchinson:

“Everything is a sideshow on top of a sideshow” in this case, Faruqui said. This could be said of the entire justice Department. It’s all performative nonsense.

Meaning he’s pissed Jr was dumb enough to get caught.
WSJ:
"The president has also privately complained to aides that his son Donald Trump Jr. exhibited bad judgment for allowing Russian businessman Umar Kremlev to pay for his post-wedding party in the Bahamas."

Feels counter to American interests and pro-fascist?
Trump cut a deal to provide billions in sanctions relief to Russia, and now the Pentagon is screwing with Starlink to make it harder for Ukraine to launch interceptor drones and conduct strikes on Russian territory. All while Putin hammers Ukrainian cities and energy sites.

Maybe, just maybe, it wasn’t a hoax?
Earlier this year, a gold-framed photo of Trump with Putin went up in the Palm Room at the White House. Shortly after we published this story, Trump announced that he and Putin had a deal for the U.S. to import Russian diesel fuel, an agreement that directly undercuts American sanctions. @TheAtlantic

“Seventeen current and former FBI and Department of Justice officials, intelligence officials, and others familiar with the situation told me they were deeply worried by a variety of decisions that suggest ever-closer ties between the Trump administration and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s regime.”
*NEW EXCLUSIVE*: I’ve spent months reporting on the quiet campaign within the FBI to urge senior leadership to cancel Patel’s trip to Russia before the midterms. Current and former FBI officials familiar with the matter told me that their many efforts to pass apprehensions up the chain went unanswered, prompting some to take the extraordinary step to share their worries with Congress and others. @TheAtlantic theatlantic.com/national-sec…
