pro tip: innocent people don't generally suppress the files that prove their innocence

whatever else republican house speaker mike johnson (and the congressional republicans who serve under him) ever do in this life, this headline will last forever and ever, for their whole blessed lives.

This 940-page reconciliation bill has a list of horrific provisions. One of the worst is a $211 billion tax break to the top 0.2% who inherit $30 million.

In this bill 16 million lose health care & hungry kids lose nutrition. Meanwhile, billionaires get much richer. Disgusting.

Donald Trump promised to lower costs for Americans on day one. He lied.

Now, he’s repaying the states that voted for him by increasing their health care costs with his Big Beautiful Betrayal.

How grotesque.

The Republican reconciliation bill cuts nutrition programs for hungry kids in order to give tax breaks to billionaires.

Good luck to my Republican colleagues in explaining the morality of that to their constituents.

No attorney general should ever speak like this. She's Trump's advocate, not the people's lawyer, which is what the AG's job is. Whatever state she is barred in should start disciplinary proceedings immediately. This isn't subtle or arguable, it's wrong.

“I expect the legal profession to understand that the nation is not here for them but they are here for the nation. from now on, I shall intervene in these cases and remove from office those judges who evidently do not understand the demand of the hour”

Trump? Pam Bondi? nope, Hitler bit.ly/44akopT

Let’s be clear. Trump's arrest of Judge Dugan in Milwaukee has nothing to do with immigration.

This latest attack is about one thing: unchecked power.

It is time for my colleagues in the Republican Party to stand up to his growing authoritarianism.

We all must stand up to ensure that these attempts to threaten and intimidate the judiciary into submission will not succeed.

This will not stop with immigration enforcement—this will be Trump’s playbook for punishing judges when they don’t fall in line. Our nation’s system of separation of powers has stood up to tyrants and despots before, but the grievous threat we face today demands we in our generation act.

Donald Trump is waging an all-out assault on our democracy and rule of law. After openly defying a Supreme Court order, calling for judges to be impeached, and bullying and belittling judges when he doesn’t like their decisions, today the FBI took the extreme and dangerous step arresting a judge.

BREAKING - Hegseth shared military bombing plans in 2nd Signal chat - with his wife, brother, and personal lawyer

Now we see why he fired 2 scapegoats - and his top 3 deputies were pushed out

Total MESS at the Pentagon, putting America at risk

HEGSETH MUST BE FORCED OUT - NOW

my favorite Bible story is probably the one where Jesus disappears an innocent person into a slave-labor gulag and then jets off for a weekend of golf at Galilee-a-Lago

There will be more cases like Kilmar Abrego Garcia. More illegal deportations. More mistakes.

And they’re laying the groundwork to deport American citizens - permanently - to El Salvador’s prisons.

It’s not hypothetical.

Republicans must join us & draw the line. Or watch our democracy disappear.
