Glad I already resigned or I would have to do it now: Owner now reportedly requires ed board to email him in advance draft of every piece and name of writer. LA Times owner tells editorial board to take a break from writing about Trump @ElombahNews news.band/la-times-owner…

The saber-rattling from the Hill about federal investigation of Liz Cheney is a) very ominous; b) very corrupt; and c) very illustrative of future moves to come and the operation of the Trump reprisal machine. My latest substack entry: Cheney Reaction open.substack.com/pub/harrylitma…

more skirmishes in Cannon's court --Trump asks for re-reconsideration; DOJ says deny it he's not even a party. and it's Cinderella stroke of midnight time.

If she had any self-respect, Pam Bondi would withdraw her nomination. Not only is this the worst affront to the DOJ in its history, it contradicts her testimony and her expressed revulsion for pardoning people who are violent to enforcement while making her look impotent.

JUST IN: Judge Amy Berman Jackson — who sat in the courtroom during Trump's arraignment in Washington — becomes the latest federal judge to speak out on Jan. 6 pardons. "Patriotism is loyalty to country and loyalty to the Constitution – not loyalty to a single head of state."

The dual themes of this carpetbombing: 1) they exceed the Pres's executive powers; & 2) they bring distress and suffering to Americans. Trump can order DOJ to support w/ the full force of the federal govt, and if he loses so what? & if people die in the meantime, so double what?
