This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

A leaked memo shows Trump is trying to deny furloughed federal employees the backpay they are legally entitled to after the government shutdown ends. This won’t be allowed to stand. And it’s because of a law he signed!

Let me be clear: backpay for these workers is required under a federal law I wrote with former Senator Cardin β€” which Trump signed β€” during the last Trump shutdown.

This is just more fear mongering from a president who wants a blank check for lawlessness. It won't work.

Bondi rips Democratic senators, dodges questions on 'weaponization' in fiery hearing The hearing follows a tumultuous summer for the Department of Justice.

Come on ABC. Your headline is FALSE! She refused to answer virtually every question and blatantly lied about everything.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

Lawrence O’Donnell is right: the fight for Virginia’s future is the fight for America’s future. The most important election this year is Abigail Spanberger for Governor. Power, rights, and democracy itself are on the lineβ€”let’s raise hell and win. πŸ”₯ #VoteVA

OMB deletes reference to law guaranteeing backpay to furloughed feds from shutdown guidance An Office of Management and Budget FAQ document now states that only excepted employees forced to work without pay are guaranteed backpay at the conclusion of a lapse in appropriations.

Bullshit!

We are now getting very close to him committing Treason. Saying that you are going to end rule of law in America if a judge does not rule your way is a threat against the U.S. as serious as any foreign incursionβ€”and indeed would be considerably more ruinous to the nation he swore an oath to protect.

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

No. No it’s not. Portland is not β€œburning to the ground.” He’s lying. He’s fomenting hate & division. He’s aching to get our military on our streets to shoot at our citizens. He is the absolute worst of us.
