The one thing the Letitia James and James Comey indictments have in common

As Donald Trump's Justice Department indicts Letitia James and James Comey, both cases are brazenly and transparently corrupt.

Hi Ymani. Pack Square was booked for earlier in the day and it was the only venue in town with the capacity for the crowds we are expecting, unfortunately.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Carolina Forward @carolinaforward.bsky.social · 2d

More than 660,000 North Carolinians are projected to lose their healthcare coverage under the Trump GOP's "One Big" federal budget, which Congress passed earlier this year. The bill effectively kills North Carolina's historic Medicaid expansion, which just passed in 2023.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

While Trump escalates his attacks on our freedoms with occupations of our cities and secret police forces terrorizing our communities, normal everyday people across the nation are showing up every single day with courage and defiance.

Laura N. Rodríguez Presa on Twitter: “A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.”

Republicans bite their tongues as Trump cancels projects in their districts

The Trump administration cut more than 300 grants for energy projects across the country last week, but it wasn't just projects in Democratic districts.

After passing $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid, Mike Johnson now has the gall to say Medicaid is underfunded.

The Trump Shutdown is happening because Republicans (who control the White House & Congress) refuse to pass a funding plan to stop health insurance costs from doubling this winter.

The Republicans control the White House, Senate and House, they refused to negotiate on the budget with Democrats and then they all went home. It’s on them, and the American people know it.

Sens. Schumer & Gillibrand (NY), Schatz (HI), Durbin (IL), Peters (MI), and Hassan & Shaheen (NH) did the right thing by refusing to back a GOP budget that would decimate healthcare.

But now they’re under pressure to give in. Urge them to oppose the cruel GOP budget: indivisible.org/resource/cal...
