This is why I've always described it as an insurgency. A violent, racist, isolationist, terroristic insurgency to fundamentally change the US into their image using the republican party to legitimize their anti-American movement.

Fascism must be stopped. The last time we stopped Fascism & prevented it from reaching our shores, our military went overseas with weapons of war. Now, it’s not only reached our shores, it’s kicked down doors to our homes, crossed thresholds & is inside. I don’t see this hell ending peacefully.

This indictment of Letitia James is not a prosecution; it is a politically-motivated persecution. Donald Trump is using a weaponized Department of Justice to punish a public servant who dared to hold him accountable. This sham proceeding is a direct assault on the Rule of Law.

Tools to defund or shut down these groups include IRS investigations to strip them of tax-exempt status; criminal probes by DOJ & FBI; surveillance by federal agencies; RICO statutes & financial investigations under anti-terror laws to identify donors & funders

You’ve gotta be kidding me.

This WaPo editorial presents a misleading revisionist history of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s criminal cases against Trump.

Then it has the gall to compare that to Trump’s overt targeting of his perceived enemies.

Really embarrassing stuff.

But the mere fact that a legal tool might be available does not mean it should be used. The
current rage over Grassley's revelation shows why. Smith showed little restraint in his pursuit of a former president. He charged Trump for official acts he took as president. He sought a gag order to limit Trump's ability to criticize the prosecution. He tried to accelerate the case to try a leading presidential candidate before the 2024 election.
