Whitehouse: "It obviously makes a big difference when you have a professional DOJ and there's no alleged involvement of the president in a sex trafficking operation. This is different. This is a MAGA DOJ conducting an investigation into a trafficking operation in which POTUS may well be implicated"

Greta Thunberg called out Russia and Israel, Pope Leo called out Russia and Israel, the late Jane Goodall called out Russia and Israel. Notice a pattern? Intelligent and heroic people stand against tyranny whether it is Russia or Israel.

New on MSNBC: Trump's new acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan has recruited prosecutors from outside her office to take James Comey to trial, after being unable to find any federal prosecutors in her own office willing to pursue the charges, according to two people familiar with the selections.

Pam Bondi refuses to say whether the White House consulted her before deploying the National Guard to U.S. cities.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse asked Pam Bondi about DOJ's decision to drop the investigation into Tom Homan.

MSNBC first reported that Homan was recorded in Sept. 2024 accepting a bag with $50,000 in cash in an undercover FBI sting.

Bondi refused to answer, then attacked Whitehouse.

Agree. I showed the movie reenactment of this scene to my students this semester and we discussed satyagraha as an ethic & tactic

Texas proudly invading Illinois.

Itโ€™s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

Did you know that your healthcare premiums are about to double because the GOP is intentionally sabotaging the Affordable Care Act and pretending that Democrats are trying to give undocumented immigrants free insurance?

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

Casey Desantisโ€™s charity that got $10 million redirected from a Medicaid fraud settlement the state entered into directly into its bank account rather than the FL treasury.

Trump promised an infrastructure bill for 4 years in his first term.

Said it was coming in 2 weeks many times.

Never delivered one.

Democrats then delivered critically needed funding for crumbling infrastructure.

Now Russ Vought is taking that away.

But only in blue states.

Exclusive | The Wall Street Firms That Kept Ties With Jeffrey Epstein Until the End From TD Bank to Honeycomb Partners, several hedge funds and banks were linked to the wealthy sex offender.

Jeffrey Epsteinย never got kicked out of Wall Street's VIP club.

Epstein's banking and investment activities in the years before his 2019 death were more widespread than previously known โ€” including accounts at several banks as well as large transactions with well-known hedge funds.
