Trump Attorneys’ Ethics Violations Require State Bar Action | ACS
www.acslaw.org
Want to thank @acslaw.bsky.social for giving me the space to express the view that “Trump Attorneys’ Ethics Violations Require State Bar Action.” It should never have come to this but in our perilous times, action is needed now. I’m not alone. #RuleOfLaw #ACS #ncpol www.acslaw.org/expertforum/...

This is incredible. The DOJ is disingenuous in its claims it’s revealing all information contained in the Epstein files when redacting defendants’ names who should be held accountable.

The redactions in the Epstein files are inappropriate. Here it is Epstein's co-defendants' names which are redacted. Also this indictment references 19 victims most underage. www.justice.gov/epstein/file... #doj #epstein #files 👀⚖️⬛⬛⬛

If you control elections you can control election results. The Trump Administration and some Republican controlled state legislatures, like North Carolina’s GOP complete takeover of the election board, suggest they can’t be trusted. Intimidation of the worst kind.

The Department of Justice has demanded voter files from nearly every state and is suing those that refuse — despite states’ authority over voter rolls and elections. Here's what you need to know:

The death of Alex Pretti has been ruled a homicide, the Hennepin County medical examiner’s office said. Pretti was shot Jan. 24 during a chaotic encounter with federal immigration officers in Minneapolis. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez were named as the two officers who fired at Pretti.

In letters to the editor, Judge Jaffe (a volunteer now for @ldadorg.bsky.social) highlights the importance of “Courts being free” of outside of influences like Trump intimidation. It erodes the concept of equal justice under the law. #RuleOfLaw www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/o...

Never forget, Sean Hannity admitted to Trump losing the 2020 election and admitted to having people on his show who lied about it, ie, that Trump won. It cost Fox $787.5 million. He’s also covered for J6ers. Hannity is incredible. #ICE #FoxNews #nclol
Fox News host Sean Hannity accuses Seth Moulton of "inciting a mob" for saying that ICE agents should be held accountable for their behavior.

Kyle Rittenhouse was a hero to the right, but Pretti was a “domestic terrorist” for having a legal gun. The double standard with some on the right is astonishing. Alex Pretti’s murder will go down in history as a turning point in this Administration.

This guy. This time. This song.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

RAND PAUL: If a country bombed our air defense missiles, captured & removed our president, & blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war?
RUBIO: We just don't believe this operation comes anywhere close to the constitutional definition

This was one of the historical events that as a kid I understood was not just bad, but evil. Anti-semitism, racism, mysogeny, anti-LGBTQ+, anti-immigration, and fascism are all born of the same pernicious poison. It must be fought in every instance. #NeverForget #HolocaustRememberanceDay
Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

Indeed Americans have a right to know as accountability is a key component of the rule of law. #RuleOfLaw
It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

Vance on Jan. 8: "You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action. That's a federal issue. That guy's protected by absolute immunity."
Vance today: "I didn't say that officers who engaged in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity. That's absurd."
