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..

Sears behaved so badly at debate tonight that I would not be the least bit surprised if she earns a Trump endorsement BECAUSE of her rude performance.

My entire career, I’ve always put Virginians first — and that’s what I’ll do as Governor.

My mission is to bring down costs, improve our schools, and keep people safe. I’ve earned the support of Virginia police, firefighters, Democrats, and Republicans — and I hope to earn yours.

That’s the only way Sears would agree to debate apparently. Very unprofessional. Hilarious that she can’t even get Trump’s endorsement.

So apparently the ONLY reason Sears agreed to this debate is because moderators promised they would NOT turn off her mic when Spanberger was speaking. WTF????!!!!!!

Why are the moderators not cutting off Earle-Sears mic?

Why are they letting her break the rules?

Why are they letting her ask questions?

re #VirginiaDebate
When Spanberger is speaking in her turn, Sears should STFU! Cut her mic when it’s not her turn!!!!!!

Political opponents are not “enemies”.

That said. Someone should cut Winsome Sear’s mic when Spanberger is speaking — she’s so freakin’ rude.

New: A US judge entered a 14-day order restricting when federal agents can use physical force and make arrests during Chicago-area protests against the Trump administration’s ramped up immigration enforcement, in response to claims of unlawful tactics and free speech violations

Really good piece on someone everyone should be tracking, Greg Bovino.

In Los Angeles and now Chicago, the White House's aggressive deportation operations have one hype man: Greg Bovino.

is the “peace” deal only happening because Netanyahu reached a level of obliteration of Gaza that transnational crime syndicate can work with? Did Bibi’s genocide of Gaza’s people reach a level terrifying enough to make surviving population ripe for future abuse by transnational crime syndicate?

Mike Johnson giving off this vibe…

“See, if we weren’t trying so hard to keep unredacted Epstein files from being released, we would swear in the new Democratic rep. But we are trying to cover up Trump’s Epstein connections, so we can’t swear in the new rep.”

/4 I was trying to give a litigation update to the Board of Directors and three of them were wearing those big inflatable animal costumes. They kept squeaking against the leather chairs and I couldn't concentrate. Then the hippo sprung a leak and made this farting sound for five minutes.

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks:

I am the General Counsel of Antifa.
