#BreonnaTaylor died weeks before the #Minneapolis police killing of #GeorgeFloyd. The deaths helped ignite nationwide protests seeking greater police #accountability over the use of #ExcessiveForce against #Black people.

Dhillon’s memo says the #DOJ *respects* the jury’s verdict & that the conviction means Hankison will probably never be able to serve as a police officer or own a firearm. [unless of course #Trump pardons him]

Breaking with standard protocol, the memo was not signed by any career prosecutors but by Robert J. Keenan, a senior counsel to the #CivilRights division who was not part of the original prosecution team, & Harmeet Dhillon, the head of the division who was appointed under the #Trump admin.

The #Trump#DOJ requested that a #Louisville police officer #convicted in connection with a raid that resulted in #BreonnaTaylor’s death serve just one day in prison. In an unusual sentencing memo, the #FederalGovernment suggested to a #judge that the #Biden admin should not have prosecuted the officer on #CivilRights charges.

WTAF?!?

#Trump#DOJ seeks ONE-DAY sentence for officer in raid that killed #BreonnaTaylor
In November, a federal jury found officer Brett Hankison #guilty of violating Taylor’s #CivilRights during a March 2020 #police raid in which she was fatally shot.

Tim Weiner: "Ideology is the enemy of intelligence. You've got a guy running the #CIA, John Ratcliffe, who will tell Trump anything #Trump wants to hear. You've got a rank amateur running the #Pentagon. You've got a conspiracy theorist as director of national intelligence, and you've got an FBI director who is actively dismantling the National Security and counterintelligence directorates at the FBI."

Es ist alles so peinlich. Wer glaubte, dass die durch und durch korrupte #FIFA nach Blatter ein wenig langsamer macht? Ne, nicht wirklich!

Neue Offices im #Trump Tower fuehrten gleich mal zu einem >600 Mio Budget im US-Haushalt. Ich fasse den Wahnsinn zusammen.

Gerne teilen. Danke 🙏

What if, instead of Trump being incriminated in the Epstein evidence, Trump had been collaborating with Epstein, (and Maxwell), and was using the evidence to leverage support from others.
He doesn't want the evidence released as he would then lose that leverage.

"MAGA didn’t just vote. They believed. They gave up family, friends, jobs—everything—all for the cause. And now, they’re left wondering: were we just pawns in someone else’s game? In someone else’s lie? Do they think we are stupid?"

"Patients and medical centers are already feeling the pain as several provisions in the GOP’s deadly spending law take immediate effect, either as required or in practice. ...

Hospitals are closing or actively considering doing so, cutting programs, and laying off staff."

"Planned Parenthood is warning patients it can no longer accept Medicaid insurance & in one region says it can’t provide services to Medicaid recipients at all, even if the patient doesn’t use Medicaid to pay. And lawmakers in at least five states are planning special sessions to revamp their already-enacted budgets & determine how to handle the cuts, including what cuts they should enact and how to administer the new Medicaid work requirement."

"The United Church of Christ passed a resolution at its General Synod in the US this week denouncing what it called 'domestic terrorism' by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and accusing the Trump administration of weaponising the Constitution."

"Amazing. New CNN poll has Trump's approval on immigration absolutely tanking. It's down to 42-58. A 19-point net swing against him on this issue in just the last few months.

Curious what those who keep saying we're in the midst of a huge societal backlash to 1965 immigration law think of this."
