The indictment of James Comey is just the latest example of Trump weaponizing the Justice Department to go after his political enemies.

At the same time, he’s doling out favors to his supporters and allies – including white collar criminals. Watch: https://youtu.be/NflcWXdV-B0?si=QTTJev6Fml50pYgP

Mass mobilizations matter. They change the narrative. Build solidarity across society. Show that resistance is powerful, growing & everywhere. And they spread courage & inspire others to push back against the Trump admin's authoritarian actions. On Oct 18, be part of the largest US mobilization yet:
No Kings
As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power belongs to the people.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Some of Trump's most fervent supporters know that health care costs are out of control, and something must be done.

"Trump in September posted on social media urging Attorney General Pam Bondi to take action against Comey and other political enemies, demanding retribution for his own prosecutions." And this is what this is all about.

Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California.

I urge anyone in the state to vote yes.

Trump is playing king, and Republicans in Congress are bowing down and letting him do it.

Republicans want Democrats to let Trump continue to shut down whatever he doesn’t like and destroy our democracy.

To play along with that farce is a betrayal of the American people.
