Tom Malinowski

I’m happy to endorse Tom Malinowski for Congress! I’ve known Tom for over 12 yrs, far longer than anyone else I know in Jersey politics, when we worked under President Obama. We both stepped up against Trump in 2018 by flipping the House. (1/2)

The danger in stoking fear to scapegoat political enemies Authoritarians use acts of violence to tighten their grip. But we can choose not to be intimidated.

"I don't know if White House aide Stephen Miller has studied the methods of totalitarian despots or if he was just born with their instincts. But...somewhere in Hell, Stalin is smiling and saying: 'That’s my boy.'”

When the GOP turned communist Republicans used to rail about state-owned enterprise. Now they celebrate it.

From Alaska With Love: Tom Malinowski on the Trump-Putin summit, diplomatic theatre, and the European Avengers “This is not the way peace diplomacy works.”

Trump rolled out the red carpet, Putin played for time, and Ukraine was left exposed.

Jen Rubin joins @tommalinowski.bsky.social to discuss what the Alaska summit tells us about America’s role in the fight for sovereignty and democracy.

The D.C. takeover proves Democrats are the true law-and-order party Trump is diverting the only people in our country with the training and experience to stop the next terror attack or serial murderer for a made-up crime problem in D.C.

Federal agents have been sidelined from fighting terror and cyberattacks so Trump can use them for show on city streets. @tommalinowski.bsky.social warns that the cost could be national security itself.

How Trump can leave Alaska a winner It’s hard to see anything good coming out of the Alaska summit with Putin, but here's an outline for a successful deal.

Trump’s Alaska summit with Putin, in theory, it could deliver a ceasefire and protect Ukraine’s sovereignty. Tom Malinowski explains why the likely outcome is far off the mark.

Menendez is in jail, but his foreign bribers are still cashing in. Why? | Opinion While Menendez serves prison time, the foreign government that corrupted him is poised to receive even more aid than they sought through bribery.

Thanks to @tommalinowski.bsky.social for demanding accountability for those involved in the Egyptian government's corrupt scheme to bribe former U.S. Sen. Menendez. New Jersey state officials should act on his calls for investigation and oversight.

Is Donald Trump finally turning on Vladimir Putin? I hope so, but I have nagging questions.

Sudan gripped by deadly crisis as hunger, disease and heat intensify The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) raised the alarm on Wednesday over the rising toll of hunger, disease and displacement in various conflict-ridden parts of Sudan.

Starvation is also being used as a weapon of war in Sudan. Famine and death is on the rise and largely absent from the media.

Americans must speak out on the catastrophe in Gaza How Netanyahu caused a famine and empowered Hamas

Famine in Gaza followed a decision by Netanyahu to block U.N. food aid and replace it with a failed mercenary-run system that deepened the crisis. @tommalinowski.bsky.social explains why staying silent no longer serves Israel or its allies.

The GOP's budget bill will hurt America’s global standing And it will benefit our adversaries. But there's one glimmer of hope.

While the reconciliation bill brings clear harms to millions of Americans, @tommalinowski.bsky.social offers a silver lining—and a fight democrats are leveraged to win.

Marco Rubio has abandoned his fight for freedoms Once a stalwart defender of freedom everywhere, he has turned into another Trump sycophant.

“I first met Marco Rubio in a prison in Libya.”

@tommalinowski.bsky.social on how Trump's Secretary of State went from champion of dissidents to defunder of democracy programs.

From @tommalinowski.bsky.social, a New Jersey congressman from 2019-23 and an assistant secretary of state in the Obama administration:

American morality requires us to protect Afghans Four years ago, Americans were angry over the Afghanistan withdrawal. Now, those we welcomed might be forced back.

Trump is now trying to deport the very Afghan allies Republicans once demanded we protect. @tommalinowski.bsky.social says their stories must be front and center in exposing his mass deportation plan.

The danger is real, but fear is a choice-- @tommalinowski.bsky.social quoted Will Smith at #NoKingsDay in Morristown, NJ with 4,000 strong in the steady rain. No sunshine patriots 🇺🇲 @nj11thforchange.bsky.social and #TomPaineBrigade

@tommalinowski.bsky.social gave what might have been the best (of many) speeches today at the #NoKingsDay event in Morristown. How I wish he was still my representative in NJ-07. He had the crowd reciting the same oath to the constitution he took when he became a citizen.

Make It Painful to Collaborate with Trump Action items for Democrats in Congress.

Bukele “is engaging in a conspiracy with [Trump] to subvert the rule of law in America,” writes @tommalinowski.bsky.social.

Democrats should propose "the most crushing possible sanctions, including asset freezes on Bukele and every member of his government," if he "doesn’t return... Abrego Garcia."

Make It Painful to Collaborate with Trump Action items for Democrats in Congress.

We have to acknowledge that the possibility of losing democracy is real. But we have a lever to use: make it maximally difficult, inconvenient, and painful for people to collaborate with Trump.

Today's Triad, from @tommalinowski.bsky.social:

Make It Painful to Collaborate with Trump Action items for Democrats in Congress.

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

NEW! Sworn declarations filed last night confirm the Trump admin sent INNOCENT people to rot in prison El Salvador, including a professional soccer player jailed and tortured by the Maduro regime, who entered this country LEGALLY to seek asylum, and who has NO CRIMINAL RECORD in either country.

This is no more legal than if the government fired the board of a university or your local United Way charity, and sent FBI agents to force their current leaders from their own building.

If Musk/Trump can get people to justify this, they'll be a step closer to justifying that.
