Let's jump on for tonight's Community Meeting at 8 pm ET, and I'll give you the blow-by-blow of how things unfolded in court today.

The reason we’ll be meeting a little earlier than our usual 8:30 pm is because I'll be joining Jen Psaki on MS NOW in the 9 pm hour to talk about today's court hearing.

In her new court filing, Katie exposes a surprising tactical choice - this old prosecutor would actually call it a colossal tactical blunder - by Todd Blanche. Of course, this comes as no surprise, as Blanche is not really very good at this lawyering thing.

See you all at 8:30.

Do you wanna know how Brian is facing this challenge? Join us at 8:30 pm ET tonight to find out.

In other words, it's Community Meeting time! I'd really like to dive into the breaking news about John Bolton pleading guilty to unlawfully retaining classified information, and why all vindictive prosecutions are NOT created equal.

I feel like this is an important discussion because Trump and his flunkies will likely point to this result as evidence of the righteousness of what Todd Blanche's dirty DOJ officials are doing by going after Trump's perceived enemies. But nothing could be further from the truth, as we will discuss this evening.

I also want to use this development to resurface a legislative project that I've had on the back burner for a while now.

I call it the “22 Words Project” and it is designed to enhance ethics in government service by requiring every government employee to report - blow the whistle on - crime and corruption inside government, rather than sitting on the corruption they see by government officials but later disclosing it only for profit when they choose to include it in a book they published after leaving government service, as did Bolton, Mike Pence, and others. This practice is contemptible, and anathema to honorable government service.

The following 22 words should be added to the oath of federal office, which is found in the federal law at 5 US Code section 3331:

“ . . . and I promptly will report all instances of crime and/or corruption by government officials and employees of which I become aware.”

Let’s discuss tonight at 8:30 pm ET.

It's good to be back.

Beginning in January 2029, those numbers will pale in comparison to what's coming for Trump's criminal cabal.

Because justice actually does matter.

Shout out to for the great graphic.
