She calls it a "crime wave" of agents lying in affidavits to arrest Democrats. Sounds fair.
Ricky Patel kidnapped Newark's Mayor because Todd Blanche and Kristi Noem told him to.
Then lied to a judge in an arrest affidavit.
There's no reason to assume the HSI Agents who targeted Omar did any different.

HSI Agents Ricky Patel, Ryan Ribner, Richard Berger, and Timothy Gerber All Made False Claims to Frame Democrats - emptywheel
There are at least 36 affidavits signed by HSI Agents -- like the goons who just searched Ilhan Omar's house -- who have made false claims to frame Democrats or other Trump opponents.

"But this is what happens when the, quote, strongmen meet reality. Suddenly they are humiliated. They are perceived as weak, as unpopular, and they are becoming unglued. And we are seeing this. So now they whine. They complain. They go running to Fox." trib.al/o531tv5
Transcript: Trump Rage at Fox Backfires as Cringe Motive for It Leaks

POWERFUL must read: Jane Doe is a human being. You think you’re qualified to classify what she contends was rape based on your understanding of a state’s legal statute? The public’s concerted focus on nitpicking the legality of the incident has eclipsed and deprioritized her humanity ....
We Are All Jane Doe
For young women, the alleged “Cornell Gang Rape” is not just a nightmare — it’s a danger that is always there.

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett.
All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

What’s going on America?
Somebody has to say it out loud.
I keep asking that question in my office and in my car, and today I am putting it on paper because none of us gets to stay silent anymore.

Trump never ceases to amaze.
With reporters, he's a psycho.
With our allies, he's a complete asshole.
In front of his MAGATS, he's a "tough guy."
But put him anywhere near an actual dictator, and he's a boot-licking cur.

Hey, News Outlets!
How about just ignoring Donald Trump? It will drive him crazy. His parents never gave him enough attention, so he is still a thirsty brat who needs CONSTANT attention.
Start the news with "Trump lied again today" and then move on to news about people/things that are interesting.

We should all be disgusted of the White House Press Corp. No one walked out
No one told Trumpy to go fuck himself.
No one said mean things to Trumpy after he chopped down another pillar of American Democracy.
No one asked for proof any of them published 'fake news'.
No one did anything.
Sad.

The Supreme Court's "shadow docket" allows justices to effectively make rulings in secret without explaining their decisions.
Is it any wonder why so many do not trust the Roberts court?

Trump treats WH reporters like shit. They should respond in kind. No more deference. Talk back to him. Tell him he just lied, and didn’t answer the question. Correct him. Confront him with reality. Ask him why he surrounds himself with sycophants. Ask him if he’s lying or just crazy.
