Stephen Miller accidently says the quiet part out loud and says trump has plenary power meaning Trump has absolute power. Then stops talking because he knows he messed up. @kendallyb.bsky.social shows us CNN edited out the mistake in future broadcasts.

Donald Trump is calling for the jailing of his political opponents in Chicago. His DOJ lackeys have already indicted a NJ Congresswoman for conducting ICE facility oversight and James Comey. John Bolton's house was raided.

We must treat these latest threats seriously and all stand up against them.

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

Last night, my team filed a motion to defend voters in California.

DOJ sued 8 states. My firm has filed to protect voters in all 8 states.

We will never back down from the fight to protect free and fair elections.

Marc Elias @marcelias.bsky.social · 7d

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files.

My team has now filed motions to defend voters in 7 of those cases in ME, MI, MN, NH, NY, OR and PA.

I suggest that DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining one in CA.

Both the body language & actual language of Pam Bondi make her one of most reprehensible people on the face of the earth.

Yes it is. Time for people to realize what’s at stake. And hopefully it won’t result in massive unrest that divides the country
