A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

This DOJ isn't getting convictions as often as they get headlines. A few of their lawyers are getting their cases dismissed for being appointed in the wrong way.

They couldn't even convict the alleged sandwich thrower.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Trump was surprisingly easy to convict once Alvin Bragg started pressing charges. But it was far too little and too late to win a conviction before Trump could return to office.

Plenty of other Republicans would be easy targets, if the DOJ bothered to press a case.
