Trump is eviscerating the rule of law for political and personal benefit. The urgency of this moment commands all of us to speak out in defense of equal justice under the law—the foundation of our freedom and prosperity.

Attorney General Letitia James did her job in holding Trump accountable under the law. A jury agreed.

Now, Trump has weaponized the DOJ to baselessly prosecute her.

This isn't justice. This is Trump going after dissenters and those who expose his corruption.

This is the felon/GOP’s shutdown! They control all branches of fed. government! It’s a choice felon/GOP are making to not pay the troops or pay back pay! Dems are demanding that GOP Speaker Johnson bring a bill to the floor that would guarantee pay for military personnel throughout the GOP shutdown!

You're asking people to drive 100 miles, round trip to drop off the ballot. That's not convenient or even doable for everyone.

Trump is just like "Wag the Dog." He simply stages what becomes news. His staged lies must be outed by media.

White House responds after Trump misses out on Peace Prize again: ‘Politics over peace’

President Donald Trump was passed over for the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday despite jockeying from his fellow Republicans, various world leaders and — most vocally — himself.

Patients often don’t realize that the same procedure at different locations (even with the same insurance) can have very different out-of-pocket costs.

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social · 14h

For Judge April Perry, it came down to credibility.

The Trump administration's "perception of events" in Chicago "are simply unreliable," she said. So she blocked Nat Guard deployment in IL, for now.

UPDATED from @chicago.suntimes.com w/ @tinasfon.bsky.social: chicago.suntimes.com/donald-trump...

Federal judge hits Trump administration credibility in siding with city and state against National Guard deployment

Judge's order bars 'federalization and deployment of the National Guard of the United States within Illinois' for at least 14 days.
