They are, but as Trump continues to decline I think it is more accurate to say they are performing for each other waiting for the music to stop and hope they can find a chair. Some, like Ghoul Stephen Miller, have growing influence out of proportion to their head size and are driving well past what Trump would do alone, but that power also makes them targets. A lot of the more cowardly Republicans in Congress are in the same boat.
Chris, perhaps the "Embargoed" jury notice is for either the upcoming Comey trial or a seat on Lindsey Halligan's next Grand Jury!!! Can't wait to find out!🤣🤣🤣
I and probably many of your readers would appreciate your take on whether governors like Pritzker could be enlisting their state law enforcement to try to curb ICE activities that violate state law, and not just exhort citizens to be neighborhood watches.
As to “a drain on other enforcement priorities” … the DoJ, in diverting away most investigations into Trumpish crimes - white collar, civil rights, sexual - there may be no such drain—a dance alone in the new Trump ballroom.
Chris, do you have any expectations on when the Supreme Court might rule on the State Department's emergency application for a stay of the injunction preventing them from implementating their policy on gender marker changes on passports? We're really hoping a relative's passport will be renewed and sent back before that happens.
The response isn’t due until October 6 and DOJ will likely submit a reply within a few days of that, so an opinion wouldn’t come until after that. Additionally, that’s the start of the new Supreme Court term, so they’ll be busy again. And, regardless of what happens with the request, I imagine someone (or multiple justices) will be writing, so it could take a while after the briefing is done before we get an order.
A “well organized riot,” huh?
Very bizarre. The whole Trump Administration seems to be performing strictly for Trump—all bombast, no substance.

Chris,
Enjoy your civil duty. I support you and your choice. Excellent summary of emergency memo by Pam.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! There are so many videos of ICE agents handling people unnecessarily violently! It’s heartbreaking!
Also, said the sieve to the needle…
She always says a lot of nothing

Thank you so much
Bondi with no circumstance.
A play on "semantics". I'll never forget how D. John Sauer used that word, to attempt to defend the indefensible, but it worked. Semantics.
EMBARGO!!
Exactly right? “Head size”—nice!
I was just called for jury duty but claimed an exemption as I turned 75 last month.
