He hasn't seen anything about that yet. He'll have to look into that and get back to you.

Fucking cool, man. So tell us all the things you are personally doing to fight the fascist scourge, comrade. How many photocopied fliers did you hand out to strangers on the street today? Have you been going to your book club meetings?

Let’s hear about those victories, homie.

If you were smart enough to know how dumb you are you'd be embarrassed.

A oldie but still a classic. I think they may literally be even dumber than the reddit mod from r/anti work who went on fox news and just destroyed the sub and people who actually work. He wanted to live off of working 3 hours a week dog walking.

I'm still pissed to this day about that. Basically killed a movement millions of workers needed and would have benefited from.

A letter from Omar’s attorneys to the Justice Department, reviewed by POLITICO, suggested that the magistrate judge who approved the search ordered investigators to contact the House’s top lawyer, Matthew Berry, giving him a chance to intervene on behalf of the institution. Berry’s office has been in contact with Trump administration counterparts in recent days, according to two people familiar with the investigation.

The people, who were granted anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the probe publicly, say investigators have not yet accessed Omar’s phone. If they choose to attempt to access it, they must first give Omar a chance to review its contents and assert speech-or-debate protections, with a court ultimately deciding which materials investigators may access.

A representative for the Justice Department declined to comment. Representatives for Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Johnson and Omar did not respond to requests for comment.

Seems like those two anonymous sources have to be working for the government somehow based on what they claim to know, so if they're saying investigators haven't opened Ilhan's phone yet I think we can be sure they definitely did and now they're just trying to decide if they actually want to try to use that info in court or just do other nefarious shit with it

So MAGA has demonstrated that they feel that raiding a seated Congressional Rep's home is fair game? Good to know for the 2027 Congressional investigations.

Yep, 100%

I don't want to hear one of these vile pieces of shit complain about "lawfare", either.

Those smug little assholes had the balls to say "well, no one complained when donnie's house was raided!"

Yeah, because he was hoarding stolen classified documents, FFS. They tried to do it the nice way first.

Fuck all of these assholes.

Assuming the phone is required for MFA to access accounts, just having it can cause issues for a person. The cruelty is the point.

Yeah, the template for Mikey Johnson is:

"What'd you say? Oh, $prominent_news_story_everyone_is_talking_about, I haven't heard anything about that. [flash shit-eating grin] I've been just so gosh-diddly-darned busy ruining Americans' lives working for the American people because Donald is their president, and we are working on his agenda..."

Proceeds to walk away at a rapid speed just under a full trot, flanked by people trying to box out the press...

His fucking Flanders act isn't fooling anyone but conservative hicks.

^

It's so weird how they adopt the same vernacular that Gaetz and Bannon and Marge and Tucker use.

I'm sure it's all just a coincidence that this kind of thing benefits ONE party, and it ain't the "uniparty" or the Democratic one. Weird.

Well that, and considering the instance their posting from. Who are big fans of uniparty. It's probably at the very least projection as well.

They don't feel fully alive unless they're harassing a black woman.

I wonder about the extent to which they have technical means to plant evidence on that phone.

The part of the party that remains silent on this might as well be Republicans as far as I'm concerned.

You don't have to praise them to help them. Fucking group of sellouts and spoiled spineless cowards.

They’re going to use all the talking points against dems.

”you were against a lawful search of Omar but you’re all for this!”

This is their playbook.

Dems won’t do it and even if they did fascists s will simply say “you opposed this you hypocrites”. We actually need to stop them by force, bur we elected wet pussies. So we get fucked.

Who in the GOP wants their hard drive searched the least? And why is it Mike Johnson?
