You are shameless.

You laundered Russian misinformation in 2020 and then communicated with the WH on Jan 6.

You weren’t surveilled.

DOJ obtained basic records after the fact —date, time and length of call, but no substance — to confirm Trump’s effort to overturn the election.

Jeffrey Epstein? Never heard of him.

Mike Johnson sent the GOP on vacation during a shutdown to avoid releasing the Epstein Files.

Now Donald Trump plays dumb (I think) about them.

The coverup is vast and deep.

Release ALL the files.

Tom Homan took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag.

The DOJ shuttered the investigation. Meanwhile, Pam Bondi is chasing down political opponents like NY AG Letitia James.

This is the biggest political corruption scandal in modern history.

Let’s follow along:

Trump directs DOJ to investigate his enemies.

VA US Atty refused to prosecute two of them due to lack of evidence.

He is fired by Trump.

Trump hires his own personal defense attorney as VA US Atty to take over investigations.

Wonder why she was hired?

Political violence is abhorrent in all contexts.

Bondi and Trump must stop using it as a pretext to persecute political enemies and violate the 1st Amendment.

Engaging in witch hunts against liberals because of their political views is exactly what the 1A protects us from.

Wake up America!

Donald Trump is pursuing a coordinated effort to destroy our democracy.

It is up to all of us to stop him.

And that includes corporate media like Disney/ABC and tech companies bending the knee.

It may be someone else today.

But it will be you tomorrow.

If there is a court order prohibiting the FBI from releasing the non-grand jury materials — videos, photographs, witness statements — why did Kash Patel direct dozens of FBI agents to spend thousands of hours to review and redact them?

Show us the order still in effect.

I charged RICO cases.

Yelling at the President is not a racketeering act and cannot be the basis for a criminal charge.

Todd Blanche knows better.

He is corrupting the DOJ with ridiculous comments like this.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 22d

Deputy AG Blanche: RICO is available to all kinds of organizations committing crimes and committing wrongful acts… So is it sheer happenstance that individuals show up at a restaurant where the president is trying to enjoy dinner and accost him with vile words?

Using Charlie’s murder to advance your agenda is disgusting, but all too common going all the way to the President.

Political violence is unacceptable. Full stop. No exceptions.

It’s not complicated: If you want to stop being called a fascist, you should stop being a fascist.

Trump is taking a hack saw to the government and illegally cutting billions that Congress has authorized.

This is our chance to stop his efforts to defund the American people.

Democrats shouldn't trade a single vote without clear support for Congress’s power of the purse.

SCOTUS is out of control.

It is abusing the shadow emergency docket by reversing well-considered lower court opinions without full briefing, oral argument, or even any explanation whatsoever.

Now ICE will continue to make unconstitutional arrests based solely on race.

Supreme Court lifts restrictions on ‘roving’ ICE raids in Los Angeles

The ruling blocks a lower court’s order that found the enforcement operations were based on impermissible factors.

Elise hasn’t hosted an in-person town hall in 6 years.

She voted to rip health care and food assistance away from tens of thousands of her constituents.

She just got booed off a stage in her district.

So now she’s spending time in NYC to advance her craven political ambitions.

As Trump shows his incompetence in foreign policy, we are losing our allies and pushing our enemies closer together.

In 8 months, Trump has effectively undone 80 years of American global leadership.

We are much less safe under Trump.

Ed Martin is a disgraced partisan hack, rejected for U.S. Attorney by members of his OWN party.

Now, Trump has installed him as a special prosecutor to go after his political enemies.

Trump has turned the world’s premier law enforcement body into a political hit squad.

Masked ICE agents abducting people off the street mirror the secret police tactics of Soviet Russia—not the world’s oldest democracy.

@repespaillat.bsky.social and I introduced the No Secret Police Act to bring these agents into the light and stop ICE from acting like a rogue authoritarian force.

At Trump’s command, the Texas GOP is tearing down our democracy to steal more primary seats.

If their policies were truly popular, why are they too scared to face a fair midterm fight?

They started this naked partisan power grab.

But we will finish it.

Immigrants pursuing lawful pathways to live here are being snatched from ICE offices and courtrooms immediately after routine check-ins and court hearings.

Arresting and deporting people legally seeking asylum is illegal, unconstitutional, and un-American.

See what’s happening?

Trump pardoned 1500 violent J6 criminals who assaulted the police at the Capitol.

He’s brought in the military for law enforcement.

And now those with shotguns and AR-15s are free to roam DC.

He’s creating his own violent militia.

Pirro’s office won’t pursue gun charges over carrying rifles, shotguns

A statement from Pirro on Tuesday said D.C.’s blanket prohibition on carrying shotguns or rifles “is clearly a violation of the Supreme Court’s holdings.”

Maxwell has been transferred from prison to what’s basically a country club facility.

BOP rules prohibit a convicted sex offender like her from receiving such a privilege.

This is the corrupt quo in return for her quid: saying whatever Trump wants.

Ghislaine Maxwell has nothing to lose and every reason to lie for Trump to win a pardon at the end of his term.

Trump pardons her, she lies to shield his Epstein ties—and they both walk away scot-free.

No justice for their victims. No consequences for their crimes and corruption.

Mr. Homan, all I have been trying to do is “come visit” your facility.

You. Will. Not. Let. Me.

Now that your lawyers have admitted in court that you’re abusing your detainees, please explain why you continue to lie to the American people.

For months, DHS repeatedly denied inhumane conditions at 26 Fed while illegally blocking me from inspecting it.

Now, in court, they admit to the horrific conditions they've been subjecting law-abiding immigrants to.

This administration is lying to you over and over.

They cannot be trusted.

Judge orders ICE to stop forcing detainees to sleep on dirty concrete floors

And he ordered officials to offer detainees three meals a day, not just two.
