Elite MAGA and djt horrors are coming fast and furious. They're deadly. Instead of lots of details, short descriptions are in order, at least for the time being for most of it. I need to avoid TL/DR.
Law & Crime reports: ‘Trump is spitting in the face of law enforcement’: President pardons ‘Lady Trump’ for spending slain officer charity funds on ‘rent, cosmetic procedures, and her daughter’s wedding’ -- djt granted a “full and unconditional pardon” to Michele Fiore, the former Las Vegas councilwoman also known as “Lady Trump,” who was convicted of “fleecing” the community out of about $70,000 in a scheme to defraud donors to a charity for a police officer who was killed in the line of duty, using the money she collected for plastic surgeries, rent, and her daughter’s wedding. Fiore, a former Republican gubernatorial candidate who was a justice of the peace when she was federally indicted on six counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, was convicted on all seven charges following an eight-day trial in October 2024. .... A White House spokesperson told The Hill that Trump issued the pardon because Fiore was allegedly targeted for prosecution due to her “outspoken conservative views.”
Pardoned corrupt, cynical elite MAGA thug Fiore
She stole 100% of the contributions to her "charity",
not 1¢ went to real charity

Above the Law reports that one of DoJ's Pam Bondi-style court filings was flat out lying about what the USSC ordered the DoJ to do about getting the illegally deported Abrego Garcia back from El Salvador: DOJ Makes Up Fake Supreme Court Quote About Deportation Hoping No One Notices -- The government’s response is basically “everyone knows the Supreme Court unanimously ordered us to ‘facilitate Abrego Garcia’s release from custody,’ what this filing we’re signing as officers of the court presupposes is… ‘maybe they didn’t?'” .... For the record, the Supreme Court’s order reads: The order properly requires the Government to “facilitate” Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador.
[The DoJ’s filing reads] “take all available steps to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia to the United State.” .... “United STATE”?!?! That’s an embarrassing “[sic]” in any circumstances but for the United States Department of Justice you’d think they’d get it right because it’s RIGHT THERE IN THEIR NAME. They put “emphasis added” on a quote that ISN’T IN THE USSC ORDER!
The highlighted quote is allegedly but falsely
claimed to be what the USSC said in its order to the DoJ
BTW, the DoJ continues to flaunt that order by stonewalling it

Gizmodo reports that djt's MAGA DoJ is attacking Wikipedia for posting foreign propaganda: Trump DOJ Threatens Wikipedia’s Nonprofit Status Over Alleged ‘Propaganda’ -- Between scrubbing government websites of information about everything from vaccine efficacy to LGBT health matters and the ongoing war with higher education, the Trump administration seems to have has a problem with freely available information that doesn’t align with its particular ideology. That war on knowledge appears to have extended now extends to Wikipedia. Earlier this week, a Trump appointed attorney sent a letter to the Wikimedia Foundation accusing it of allowing the spread of propaganda and threatening its nonprofit status. [The DoJ's letter] accuses the Wikimedia Foundation of falling short of requirements to maintain that status because, he claims, Wikipedia is “allowing foreign actors to manipulate information and spread propaganda,” and “permitting information manipulation on its platform, including the rewriting of key, historical events and biographical information of current and previous American leaders, as well as other matters implicating the national security and the interests of the United States.” (edits added for clarity and accuracy)
Comment: MAGA elites are OK with allowing Russian propagandists to manipulate information and spread propaganda and permitting pro-MAGA or MAGA-approved disinformation manipulation on any platform. But inconvenient content, factual or not, is now being openly attacked by djt and his elite, morally rotted MAGA goons. People, this is deadly serious, real time democracy-killing dictatorship, not a fever dream or hallucination.
