BREAKING NEWS on the indictment of NY Attorney General, Letitia James.

I break down the indictment, the fatal flaws in the government’s claims, & why the continued weaponization of the criminal justice system by Convicted Felon Donald Trump will just blow up in his face.

In case anyone missed this

Erdoğa said that Trump ended Halkbank’s criminal case after talks w him. He said that Trump told him “The Halkbank problem is finished for us.”

Halkbank was helping Iran evade taxes and launder billions.

Seriously.
As a public health scientist?
I cannot stress enough how poorly prepared this administration is for an ultra deadly & infectious disease like Ebola to make landfall here in the USA.
The best defense for the USA is fast resolution of an outbreak overseas.

RIFed:

Several CDC staff currently working on an Ebola outbreak overseas.

You know — the ones literally helping contain and prevent it from spreading. (Like, to the U.S.)

Trust us: dying from Ebola is a MISERABLE way to die.

Mike Johnson disingenuously asks the press if they’ve ever seen a Democrat who wants reduce spending

He surely knows that the only president who ever produced a balanced budget was Bill Clinton

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Q: Rescission are something Dems have said is a reason for a lack of trust. What rescissions are you discussing?

JOHNSON: We have more than $37t in debt. We're doing everything we can to get us back to sound fiscal responsibility. What does that include? A rescission package is part of our process

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Three key points:
1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February
2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty
3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise
