The Justice Department had 36 attorneys assigned full-time to investigate corrupt politicians when Trump took office in January.

Today it has two.

See how this works?

1. On Monday, Trump delivered a $70 million windfall to his billionaire buddy, John Paulson.

Paulson hosted the biggest fundraiser of Trump's 2024 campaign, raising over $50 million.

This week, Trump returned the favor.

Pelosi: "Democrats who created Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the ACA, all of that, are now being asked to reject that so we can give a tax cut to the rich. We're not doing it. It isn't a question of, 'let's come back together so we can discuss it.' That isn't going to happen."

More Democrats need to follow JB Pritzker's lead and directly confront MAGA's ongoing campaign to crush our democracy. It's not a time for any Democratic politician to hide in their office making fundraising calls. Get your ass out there. Denounce the fascists. Be loud.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

"This is clearly the mask-off phase of Trump 2.0.

Trump is past triangulation. He’s past argumentation and persuasion. He’s in the raw-power business now. Pam Bondi went to Congress yesterday to let them know."

INVESTIGATION: After three horrifying Tamarac murders, the Broward sheriff said systemic issues in his agency did not contribute to the tragedy — despite 19 deputies being fired or suspended over it.

Here's what happened on that day and where the failures happened.
After Tamarac homicides, Broward sheriff said failures were not systemic. Could it happen again?
BSO disciplined 19 deputies after the Feb. 16 Tamarac triple murder, but Sheriff Tony said the agency’s failures were not systemic. Others disagree and are calling for broader reforms.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.
MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food. On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch." That, Taher says, "is a lie."

There’s just not enough attention being paid to how unqualified, psychologically unfit, and dangerous so many of these new ICE hires potentially are.

If we had a Congress, there’d be investigations & oversight into this.

ICE agents are reportedly creeping around high schools in Chicago. And because they are wearing masks, often not wearing uniforms and using unmarked vehicles this means that ANYONE could show up dressed like this and disappear kids off the streets. This is especially dangerous

BREAKING: Late last night, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration from deploying any out-of-state federalized National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon.

This is a win for the rule of law.
