Could someone please reset the "Hours without an embarrassing DOJ filing" clock to 0?

Report: In win for rule of law, DOJ drops defense of Trump orders targeting prominent law firms Trump’s orders were a direct assault on the country’s adversarial system of justice.

NEW: The Department of Justice will soon abandon its defense of President Donald Trump’s retribution campaign against law firms that challenged his political agenda or represented his political opponents over the years, according to the Wall Street Journal. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Dear windows,

I NEVER want to save anything to One Drive, or the Cloud, or whatever the fuck you are currently calling someone else's computer.

It's been over three months and the Trump administration still hasn't fully released the Epstein files and are overly redacting and trying to hide what they do release because that's exactly what you'd expect for someone who is "innocent."

Lawyers for Ghislaine Maxwell are fighting the requested release of 90,000 pages related to her and Jeffrey Epstein, saying the Transparency Act used to force the public release of millions of documents is unconstitutional.

Now we definitely have to see them..

Not enough Americans are comparing Trump to Hitler, because they don't know that they don't know anything about what Hitler did to instigate the Holocaust.

Trump's concentration camps are for Democrats.

Hitler put Democrats in concentration camps even before Jews.

21-Year-Old's Body Found In Wooded Area Of Georgia Park The unidentified 21-year-old man was found Feb. 14 in Fair Oaks Park in Marietta, Georgia, northwest of the city of Atlanta.

newsone.com/6850568/body...
Black man found hanging in Marietta ga. a couple of days ago. No news coverage again. Likely not a suicide as they are again trying to say. Statistically speaking Black people don’t hang ourselves from trees. Any guess of who would do this?!

Declaring war against Iran won’t stop us from talking about the Epstein files.

We can multitask.

I would love to know where this memorial is. I grew up in the Chicago suburbs and have lived in the city in other times, and I would gladly go back to add to this place.

They're trying to make observing/filming ICE illegal.

Then we must show up in greater numbers.

BE UNGOVERNABLE.

Katyal: "I was able to go to court - the son of immigrants-- & say on behalf of small businesses, 'Hey, this president is acting illegally.' I was able to present my case, have them ask really hard questions, & at the end of it they voted & we won. That is something extraordinary about this country"

We just want to say thank you to everyone who keeps resisting even when Trumps goal is to wear everyone down. Tonight, workers began restoring the slavery exhibit at the President’s House Site on Philadelphia’s Independence Mall.

Re: Iran Attack

Please see: US Constitution Article 1 Section 8 The Congress shall have Power To... declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water

WTF Congress? Who do you represent again?
