"Some of the sharpest applause came when Conway warned that legislation alone would not constrain Trump. 'We can pass the ‘Everything is Better’ bill… And he’s going to ignore it... He is not going to obey the law, because he doesn’t. He’s a criminal, and we have to put an end to [his presidency]."

Bondi lies shamelessly: "When he was elected overwhelmingly by the American people -- the majority of the American people wanted Donald Trump."

I’ve done a pretty good job of not letting the horrors get to me and send me down a mental health spiral again. But the image of a child that young going through something like this while having a four year-old at home take me to tears and fills me with incandescent rage
We have an update on the Liam Ramos family, and it isn’t good.
The family is in hiding, and Liam is waking up in the middle of the night screaming for his daddy.

After 6am this morning in Whittier, Minneapolis—FOUR BLOCKS from where Pretti was murdered.
18 agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) markings smashed an apartment window, ran in, and came out with one man.

I was a White House ethics lawyer.
I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.

Foreign countries are bribing our president to sell out the American people.
Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.
They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.
