The circumstances make that impossible--plus here the family of the prisoner denies any such relationship occurred

Trump should NEVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, have his hands on any money designated for We the People.

He & GOP in Congress have more than amply demonstrated nothing but RECKLESSNESS, IRRESPONSIBILITY & SUSPICIONS OF CORRUPTION HANDLING THE PEOPLE’S MONEY.

Trump has hired over 100 fossil fuel insiders to staff his administration and advance the industry's agenda.

Is it any wonder why his Big Ugly Bill contains more than $40B in new subsidies and tax breaks for Big Oil?

Read this from @normornstein.bsky.social. The biggest problem with today's GOP isn't their policy views. It's the consistent disrespect they show to our institutions. They are an embarrassment to anyone who loves the Congress, and our country. contrarian.substack.com/p/senate-shame

Some cases take on outsized importance, with issues that transcend the decision the parties ask the courts to make. This is one of those cases. The stakes are high: the integrity of the Justice Department and the ability of a president to corrupt the rule of law. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

I noticed you have two separate accounts on X, but only one has a blue check next to your name. In the event you’re unaware you have two separate accounts, I wanted to let you know.

Donald Trump is weaponizing the DOJ against his political opponents.

Meanwhile, he's gutting the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section which assists U.S. attorneys’ offices around the country with investigating crooked government officials.
