This is the Trump theory of opening up an investigation regardless of whether the case has any merit. Harass & intimidate you enemies & hope they’ll submit. No grand jury will ever indict this case.

It's unclear how Walz and Frey allegedly obstructed law enforcement or what they were allegedly obstructing.

That this obviously political investigation is even taking place is an impeachable abuse of presidential power.

If you weaponize the DOJ to intimidate elected officials, that’s not “politics.” It’s a federal crime. Retaliatory investigations violate civil‑rights and obstruction laws. Anyone turning law enforcement into a threat is advertising their own liability.

Today there were cops everywhere near CDC's Roybal campus. Reports of someone “acting suspicious” on the CVS roof across the street. My first thought: I’m not surprised. Then: how the fuck do I get my team to safety? Are my friends okay? Many of us found out late. The alert system failed again.

A new Trump program “will fast-track construction of new & untested reactor designs built by private firms, with an explicit goal of having at least 3 nuclear test reactors up & running by…July 4.” Critics worry that the tight deadline & “lack of transparency” are “compromising safety.” 12/17/25…1/
