The stated hypothesis in a new lawsuit for why DOJ illegally fired Jim Comey's daughter is that Laura Loomer made it happen.

We don't yet know what allegedly motivated Tyler Robinson to kill Charlie Kirk. We do know the motivations of the White House sourcing claims about a trans roommate, so we should be very cautious about believing what they're peddling.

The reasons Tyler Robinson allegedly killed Charlie Kirk are not yet clear. What is clear is he was raised in conservative gun culture that right wingers recognize as their own.

The way in which the JGG immigration case and related Alien Enemies Act cases have proceeded since Senate Democrats permitted Republicans to keep government open in March is a testament to the value that courts have provided that might become unavailable in a government shutdown.
