"The Supreme Court has made clear that it will allow Trump to violate every constitutional prohibition, removing any obstacle in his way, and crediting the most farcical legal argument."

Trump is the insurrection

And the Supreme Court's conservatives are his shock troops.

The corruption on display here is clear as day. But we can't simply be quiet.

We all have to speak out against the weaponization of our Justice Department.

We need a DOJ that works for the people, not one that is focused on political retribution for Donald Trump.

The Trump administration has finalized plans to provide a $20 billion lifeline to Argentina, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said. Additionally, the US “directly” purchased Argentine pesos, Bessent said, a move that marks the latest step in an attempt to stabilize the country’s financial market.

Trump is operating with revenge in mind, not the rule of law.

The DNC stands with New York Attorney General Letitia James against his latest political attack.

My full statement on her baseless indictment:

This indictment isn’t about the law, it’s about political revenge directed by Donald Trump at someone he deems his enemy. There’s a reason why both the U.S. Attorney and career prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia refused to bring forward this baseless indictment against New York Attorney General Letitia James — and why they were replaced by a hand-picked, unqualified sycophant with no prosecutorial experience.
Donald Trump doesn’t care about the law or an independent Department of Justice. Weeks ago, Trump publicly demanded the weaponization of our justice system and today, the department dutifully carried out his orders.
This is a line that cannot be uncrossed. The DNC joins the Democratic Attorneys General Association in condemning this politically motivated attack on Attorney General James. And we encourage Americans everywhere, of any and all political affiliations, to stand against Donald Trump’s attempts to co-opt the government for retribution and intimidation.

No, he doesn’t deserve a Nobel prize, he is literally waging war in his own country against his own people and started a politically motivated war with Venezuela and with former FBI leadership and states leaders.

Those are fake politically motivated charges by a wannabe dictator and his lackeys. They will be dismissed in court as she will show proof of no wrongdoing.

Quick reminder for Virginia Democrats:

You don’t have to settle for a 5-10 point win.

Aim higher.

Go for a 10-15 or a 15-20 point win.

Bury this weirdo in as many ballots as possible.
