Twitter was my place when game of thrones was my favorite show.
Then I woke and started caring about politics because one man destroyed everything I thought it was safe and the American way of life.

“Donald Trump can’t pardon Maxwell, in spite of his past expression of well wishes for the sex trafficker.

But Todd Blanche could do something to intentionally fuck up her case.”

Pamela Jo Bondi is sitting on THOUSANDS of Epstein documents that she could have released months ago.

Instead, she and Donald (who appears in those documents) are going through the theater of pretending to want to release the thing courts are least likely to allow-- secret grand jury testimony.

After Breonna Taylor was killed

Biden’s DOJ determined the Louisville PD was infested with systemic racism

Then convicted the cops responsible

Now the Trump DOJ wants the judge to give them a sentence of just one day

Don’t EVER tell me there’s no difference between Democrats and Republicans
Breonna Taylor should still be here today. Her life mattered.

Trump’s DOJ has asked that an officer charged in her murder spend just one day in jail. One day. This is atrocious—it is what injustice and systemic racism looks like.
DOJ seeks one-day sentence for officer in raid that killed Breonna Taylor
In November, a federal jury found officer Brett Hankison guilty of violating Taylor’s civil rights during a March 2020 police raid in which she was fatally shot.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL: Rep. Jasmine Crockett is NOT playing games. She wants Pam Bondi UNDER OATH in front of Congress.

Because if you lied about Epstein’s files, you’re not just a fraud—you’re an accessory to the cover-up of a global sex trafficking ring.

Amazingly, after reading this story, an immensely confident non-lawyer wrote me a long screed about how Superman isn't an immigrant because, as a child, he didn't come here willingly. So this guy unwittingly invented some form of "DACA-right citizenship."

Just astounding levels of cope out there.

Trump doesn't remember that he appointed Fed chair Jerome Powell.

Bill O'Reilly forgot that Jeffrey Epstein died back when Trump was president.

The whole GOP can't remember Trump was president when COVID hit.

Yet we spent a month this year talking about Joe Biden's memory problems?
“He’s a terrible Fed chair. I was surprised he was appointed. I was surprised, frankly, that Biden put him in and extended him.”

Sure grandpa let's get you to bed.

Note: Trump appointed Powell to lead the Federal Reserve during his first term.

Trump is TRULY demented.
He said he thought Fed Chair Powell was terrible and was surprised he was ever appointed.
But
Trump was the one who appointed him.

I worked on hundreds of nominations when I was special counsel to President Obama—no prior president would have put forward nominees like Emil Bove & Jeanine Pirro & no prior judiciary committee would vote for them

Kamala Harris campaigned on making home care part of Medicare, which would’ve greatly eased the issue of caring for our parents.

But Trump won so we not only didn’t get that, we’re getting devastation of nursing homes as well.

This is going to ruin a lot of families.
