Trump says he ‘could be’ seeking $230 million from his own Justice Department | CNN Politics President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he “could be” seeking $230 million from his own Justice Department as compensation for past investigations into him, though he professed to have little knowled...

Trump keeps admitting in public that he's directly running all DOJ operations—which would include deciding to keep the Epstein Files hidden to protect himself—and media keeps pretending not to hear him. Here, he states unambiguously that he *personally decides* on all DOJ payouts to alleged victims:

They really can get away with anything—we’re near the end of the authoritarian slide not the middle. This is just a building but symbolically it’s equivalent to seeing fire engulfing yr house.

It will be so hard to pull out of this spiral—most ppl still don’t even believe how far down in it we are.

Listen, we can’t send this guy enough of our money. Most trustworthy investment ever.

Last week ICE pepper sprayed Police. Today ICE shoots a US Marshal. Time for law enforcement across the Country to decide what side of this battle are they on.

Donald Trump’s America

Exclusive Interview: Arizona AG Kris Mayes SUES Over MAGA Mike’s Refusal to Swear In Grijalva In an exclusive interview moments after filing the lawsuit, Mayes tells Ben Meiselas this is “taxation without representation” and a constitutional crisis in the making.

We just sat down with AZ AG Kris Mayes moments after she filed a federal lawsuit over MAGA Mike's refusal to swear in Rep-elect Grijalva.

Mayes didn’t mince words: “There’s no legitimate reason. Except, of course, that she said she would be the last vote needed to release the Epstein files."

A free campaign ad for Mamdani.

By the way, if the administrator of DOGE would like to text me, I’m on Signal at annabower.24!!

So even though we now all know @GovBillLee was lying about the arrests in MEMPHIS being mostly violent criminals, Speaker Sexton continues to claim otherwise.

How is their lying not the story now?

But “fiscally conservative” yada yada

WATCH — @abbydphillip: “Today an ICE officer’s weapon discharged and shot a U.S. marshal and a suspect because they were using the weapon to bang on the window.” 🤦🏻‍♂️

Soft Secession: How Blue States Are Rewriting American Federalism When Illinois Governor J.B.

A majority of this tax money comes from blue states.

Blue state soft-secession now!

(This will help every state by reducing federal power and influence.)

Important to note that it's New York STATE that brought charges against the J6er that threatened Hakeem Jeffries. Not the DOJ.

Can't help but notice trump says the ballroom will cost $250M and today he says the DOJ should give him $230M

Gross.

This is a great target!!

Target the corporations that, Trump says, are paying for the ballroom.

Markwayne like a kid with a new bicycle on Christmas with his 4 signed Trump hats in hand anxiously waiting for his Trump Coins.

Trump nominee for special counsel drops out after his Nazi posts surfaced.

Pam Bondi, who was paid what might as well be a retainer for her services, is presumably who will approve the nine-figure payout from DOJ to Donald.

“Are you asking the DOJ to pay you? How much?"

TRUMP: *pretends not to understand the Q 🤷🏼 … says he’ll give it to charity 🤥 … rambles for 2 minutes about how the election was stolen from him 🥸*

Endless corruption and greed

We should withhold our taxes along with California and New York.

@governor.ca.gov heads up!

To fight Trump's funding freezes, states propose a new gambit: Withholding federal payments Democratic lawmakers have introduced the novel and untested approach in at least four states.

The novel & untested approach introduced in Connecticut, MD, NY, &WI would essentially allow states to withhold federal payments if lawmakers determine the federal government is delinquent in funding owed to them. Democrats in WA state said they are in the process of drafting a similar measure.

California alone would bankrupt the SOB.

I keep telling @governor.ca.gov this…

A work friend of mine who is not political and votes for who her husband tells her (despite me and my coworkers trying to educate her) had absolutely no clue what I was talking about when I said we wouldn’t be busy because of the protests on Saturday. A lot of people are living under a rock.

We would need a tax revolt…much larger than No Kings numbers….

"You know there's illegal aliens in your area that will cut your f------ throat for a $20 bill," the caller said. "I'm going to start handing out pictures of you with instructions. ... Your time is limited. If you do have children you might want to kiss them goodbye." "Do you prefer the type of blade they use on your throat, huh? Do you? Or would you rather be strangled with a garrote? It's your choice," the caller said. Swalwell's office reported the call to U.S. Capitol Police, the staff member said, adding that the congressman’s office does not know how authorities are handling it. In reply to an NBC News inquiry this week, the Capitol Police public information office sent an automated note saying the office was closed due to the government shutdown. Swalwell said he has spoken personally to Bondi about threats he’s gotten. Last week, federal authorities charged a 69-year-old California man with sending a threatening letter to Benny Johnson, a conservative influencer. "Maybe someone will blow your head off!!! We can hope!" the man accused of sending the letter allegedly wrote. Johnson appeared alongside Bondi at a news conference announcing the charges. US Justice Department Conservative host Benny Johnson stands next to Attorney General Pam Bondi as she takes questions from reporters on Oct. 10.Luis Santana / Tampa Bay Times via AP file Asked about that case, Swalwell said, "I have had multiple threats that were more explicit and specific than what were made to Benny Johnson that DOJ recently declined to prosecute."

I had been suspecting this--that Pam Bondi is only choosing to pursue threats where they serve her partisan narrative.

The Benny Johnson case -- about which she held a press conference -- IS pretty flimsy. Meanwhile Swalwell is a frequent target of Trumpsters.
