I fully support my Attorney General, Letitia James.
The tell from Trump is that he works hardest to punish black women. This woman is my hero.

New York Attorney General Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social · 18h

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Rep. Jamie Raskin has sent letters to four of the nation's largest banks demanding information related to "more than $1.5 billion in suspicious financial transactions flagged by the banks tied to sex trafficking crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and their co-conspirators."

The irony is chilling.
Don't forget, all those harmed by Trump & his secret police will sue .... and taxpayers get to pay for both sides.

BREAKING: The Chicago pastor intentionally shot in the head by masked ICE agents is SUING. 💪 He's being joined by journalists ICE targeted. "I invite ICE to repent." 👏 They won't, so suing them into the ground will have to do.

So yesterday a reporter asked Donald Trump about the writ of habeas corpus, and he had no idea what it was.

"I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi."

Well, It turns out Sen. Hassan asked Kristi Noem about it in May, and this was Noem's response:

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · May 20

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

I think back to interview Matt Lauer, TODAY show did with Trump when birth of the Apprentice. Matt looked and sounded (tone of voice) so angry. Like he was being used. At least that was my take. Has anyone talked to Matt lately?

Anyone who lived in NY in the ‘90s knew Trump was a con artist & a two-bit hustler who bankrupted businesses over and over. There’s a reason 9 out of 10 people in Manhattan didn’t vote for him. But Mark Burnett convinced millions of reality TV-watching Americans he was a successful businessman.

How dare Speaker Mike Johnson deny the people of Adelita Grijalva's district and the people of AZ!
Oh, yeah. He's a repulican.
There must be lawsuits to represent voters denied their duly elected representative.

Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen.bsky.social · 2d

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

What is the estimated date or re-opening. Should I be planning on voting or will Mr. Johnson continue his disgraceful charade of leadership?

Whatever Speaker Johnson says:

He sent the House home for YET ANOTHER WEEK because he cares more about protecting the Epstein files than he does about protecting the American people.
