Sarah Matthews: "Unfortunately, it seems that most of these lawmakers forget that there will come a day when Trump will no longer be in power, but everything they've done to go along with his abuses of power — that dishonor will remain. That will be their legacy."

@michael-feinberg.bsky.social: "These individuals all took an oath to uphold the Constitution. The very point of an oath is you follow it regardless of the personal consequences. If you're not willing to make those sacrifices, you should not be raising your right hand and reciting the oath."

@michael-feinberg.bsky.social: "I have never seen—in my roughly 17 years with the U.S. government—a Justice Department which operates this way....They are not working on behalf of the country—they are solely functioning as President Trump's personal lawyers and personal investigators."

Sarah Matthews: "This is exactly what I worried about in a second Trump administration—that it'd be staffed by a bunch yes men and women, all sycophants not willing to push back on him. The once independent DOJ just seems like the retribution arm for the Trump administration."

Tim Dillon: "Children being zip tied, or a grandmother being zip tied, people who've maybe lived in a community 30 years and they're not committing a crime...showing up to a high school graduation and deporting someone's father, seems to a lot of people to be inhumane."
