You could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich, the saying goes, but, in Washington, a federal grand jury just declined to indict a man for throwing a salami sub.
A federal grand jury did not return an indictment against a former Justice Department employee who was seen on camera throwing a hoagie at the chest of one of the federal officers President Donald Trump has deployed in the nation’s capital, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Worshipping words from dear leader’s cabinet. Nauseating:

The arrogance of U.S. officials in Lebanon is beyond humiliating.
Tom Barrack went as far as warning Lebanese journalists not to be “animalistic” and urged them to “civilize”—claiming this is the problem with the region.
The commander-in-thief now routinely extorts money from corporations, falsely accusing them of crimes and misdeeds. And no one seems to be standing in his way. The Trump White House is now the home of biggest crime family in American history.
Trump: “It is my Great Honor to report that the United States of America now fully owns and controls 10% of INTEL.”
Straight-up socialism. Yet not a single Republican in Congress will dare criticize dear leader Trump. Shameful. pic.twitter.com/EkxNGRmp3C

Technically it’s Fascism, merging the state with corporations. In Russia it’s called Kleptocracy.:
Trump wants the U.S. government to take a 10% stake in Intel.
Make no mistake: Trump’s "state capitalism" has nothing to do with public ownership, socialism, helping the working class, or improving national security.
President Donald Trump is weighing taking a 10 percent stake in computer chip maker Intel. If approved, it would mark one of the largest U.S. government interventions in a private company since the auto bailout of 2008.@IAmAmnaNawaz speaks to @petereharrell for more. pic.twitter.com/9sZRKKzA9o
Intel has agreed to the US government taking a 10% stake in the struggling chipmaker, President Donald Trump said on Friday, following confirmation earlier this week that negotiations were under way for the unusual arrangement. https://t.co/uIdoPyGDYOpic.twitter.com/MdGlENHm3U
So many of you were opposed to Mamdani wanting to seize the means of production in New York City, but are totally fine with Trump’s Commerce Secretary wanting the US government to become the largest shareholder of Intel. This is socialism with an R next to its name. pic.twitter.com/WOjOGvIOpO
After the disastrous ‘summit’ in Alaska it looks like Trump is looking for someone to throw under the bus. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, looks like the prime candidate.
Rubio sold his soul to work for Trump. Now he is suffering the consequences. The problem: Trump is a Russian asset, Rubio is not. Marco is now having to bite his tongue in order to keep his job.
Trump wants to sell out Ukraine. Is Rubio willing to join in on the backstabbing? Not sure.
The war is apparently Zelensky’s fault. Tomorrow is going to be another shit show pic.twitter.com/8nxro1tcvr
At one time Rubio supported Ukraine’s fight against Russia. Not anymore.
Rubio literally ditched a decade of his own beliefs just to shield Trump’s ego when the talks failed.
Today he’s on every network saying Ukraine is “not our war.” Here’s Rubio saying the U.S. promised Ukraine protection forever if they gave up their nukes. Blast this to space: https://t.co/DdOkCxFpiKpic.twitter.com/o6rlDhrbCa
The tech billionaires who had front-row seats as President Donald Trump was being sworn in on Jan. 20 – including Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos – have seen their wealth drop by a staggering $210 billion combined as the president’s economic policies have upended markets, a Bloomberg analysis found.
The Trump-aligned billionaires had enjoyed the period between Trump’s election and inauguration as a boon for the world’s wealthiest, with several all-time highs recorded on the S&P 500 Index, according to the analysis. But seven weeks later, a different story has emerged — with five of the billionaires who sat behind Trump as he took the oath of office for a second time taking the multibillion dollar hit.
Musk in particular, has had it rough since deciding to take on a role in the Trump White House. Maybe he should spend less time at Mar-a-lago:
Elon Musk said Monday running his businesses, like Tesla and SpaceX, while also taking on a major government overhaul effort has not been easy.
During an interview with Fox Business that aired Monday, Musk was asked by host Larry Kudlow how he’s running his other businesses while also working closely with the Trump White House.
“With great difficulty,” Musk said, followed by a long pause and a sigh but not much more explanation.
Someone is standing up for freedom. And it ain’t Trump.
Trump gets reality check, he’s booed and heckled relentlessly at Libertarian Convention. This is what happens when he’s not speaking to his cult. pic.twitter.com/s5LDTwfkB0
We have a government that has become almost almost completely dysfunctional. The implications are disastrous. That number coincides with the number of incumbents in Congress who get defeated in elections. If you get elected to Congress it’s essentially a job for life, and they are not accountable. That means they feel no pressure to do work for the people, only fundraise for the next election:
The analysis by Quorum, which makes software for lobbying and advocacy groups, said the 46 laws enacted through the end of April, out of 12,354 bills introduced, was the lowest percentage of successful bills going back to at least the 101st Congress, which met in 1990 and 1991.
Historic:
And at least one lawmaker has said Congress is on pace to make the fewest laws since the Civil War.
