DOJ sues LA sheriff’s office in its first-ever gun-rights lawsuit over carry delays
The Justice Department filed a lawsuit against the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) and Sheriff Robert Luna on Tuesday, accusing it of "systematically" delaying concealed carry permits for law-abiding citizens in violation of the Second Amendment.
The lawsuit, which the DOJ touts as its first-ever affirmative lawsuit in support of gun owners, alleges the LASD created a "pattern and practice" of obstruction by forcing law-abiding citizens to wait months and even years for a decision.
The DOJ said in their complaint that, between January 2024 and March 2025, the sheriff’s office received 3,982 new applications for concealed carry permits and, as of May 8, approved only two. As of that date, two of the remaining applications were denied, 1,210 "were withdrawn for various reasons" and "approximately 2,768 applications for a new license to carry a concealed firearm remained pending."

Woke officials seem like very disturbed people themselves.
It seems like that thread would have been more appropriate... or maybe the funny/satire or wtf? thread... she's off to a bad start:
DOJ gave Trump’s handpicked US attorney little support to indict Comey. She did it anyway
At a public hearing to hand up the indictment, Halligan ran into some trouble with Magistrate Judge Lindsey Vaala, as captured by the court reporter’s transcript. The judge was puzzled about Halligan’s submitting two different set of documents, one with two approved counts and one showing the three counts.
“So this has never happened before,” Vaala said. “There seems to be discrepancy.”
Halligan told the judge she had only reviewed and signed one document with the two counts approved by jurors. “I did not see the other one. I don’t know where that came from,” she said.
The judge, still puzzled, said: “Okay. It has your signature on it.”
Halligan responded: “Okay. Well…”
Hmmm.... Does a government shutdown create an "emergency" where Trump could take actions he normally could not do?
IDK...but we are going to find out very quickly. Shut it down, shut it all down!
How dense can he be?... how vain do you have to be to put form over function in a warship? It's not the first time he's mentioned he does not like "stealth" because he is a very aesthetic person... did anyone advise him how stupid this is? MAGA... here's the Commander in Chief you elected:
Trump went off about 'ugly' stealth warships in his wandering chat with US generals and admirals
"They say, 'Oh, it's stealth.' I said, 'That's not stealth.' An ugly ship is not necessary in order to say you're stealth." Trump also called himself "a very aesthetic person."
The admirals hadn't heard enough nonsense yet... here's some battleship bullshit:

As much as I'd like to rip on dear Ted, as the video title says, it was just a gaffe!
