Donald Trump is weaponizing the DOJ against his political opponents.

Meanwhile, he's gutting the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section which assists U.S. attorneys’ offices around the country with investigating crooked government officials.

"Drain the swamp."

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Reading this article, not surprised at the laughable comments, typically unfettered by reality, I have a question.

How does Cheung’s breath smell? Because he’s spewing volumes of 💩!

Beyond his ludicrous claims about our criminal imbecile in the Oval Office, asserting the Nobel team is political!

What a really tough outcome to swallow for delusional, self-important, misogynistic, racist, contrarian old white men.

The Nobel Peace Prize is denied to an unquestionably inappropriate person. It makes many who advocated for an unqualified person look foolish.

Congrats, Maria Corina Machado!

Happy Nobel Peace Prize day to all who celebrate! 🕊️

In a brilliant and well deserved move, an (1) antifa (2) Latina (3) woman, María Corina Machado, wins for her work promoting democratic rights in Venezuela.

How can such a disappointing job report be possible?

With an administration purportedly led by a (self-proclaimed) business ‘genius’ who is more knowledgeable than every economist, broadly implementing tariffs to make our businesses and economy the best in the world.

What has gone wrong? 🤔😏

Though I have no regard for any opinions or comments from Loomer (and can’t avoid noting ‘loony’), perhaps those who do listen may also find a change of mind on who and what they’ve supported.

Almost like they are suddenly ‘awakened’ to reality. 😉

It would be interesting if statements, accusations, such as this required validation and documentation rather than allowed to stand as ‘fact’.

Because they will later point to this ‘fact’ in support of other false claims.

It was and is a bad position for everyone who advocated that our felonious figurehead was in the least deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize. Of course many were only pandering to the infantile lunatic who was adamant he deserved it for many (imagined) reasons. And THAT is even more discrediting. 🤨

The fact that we are even talking about Trump winning the Nobel Peace Prize feels indicative of mass psychosis. The dude spent most of his adult life sexually assaulting women, girls and breaking the laws of business, morality and democracy. He is the most unpeaceful cunt ever.

If only... yet we are where we are.
And the majority of Americans, sadly many who withheld voting along with others that perhaps were misguided, now see the calamity which has ensued resulting from this rogue regime and GOP Congress.

Particularly when it appears to be more related to our felonious figurehead making personally beneficial deals with a foreign government. Even if a precedent, this looks highly questionable and not in the best interest of our nation. 🤨
