I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

In the chaotic country we are living in, our state courts are our final line of defense.

Right now we need leaders who will uphold the rule of law, protect womenโ€™s reproductive rights, defend our freedoms, and keep our courts fair and independent.

Iโ€™m a career prosecutor who took a $25,000 check from an affiliated entity of Donald Trumpโ€™s while investigating Trump University and later left my lobbying firm to become Donald Trumpโ€™s personal impeachment lawyer, White House aide, and Attorney General. So donโ€™t you DARE question my integrity.

This is the best elevator pitch I've seen from Dems on the shutdown.

Apple has removed an ICE tracking app that allows users to report ICE activity nearby from its App Store.

The removal came after a direct demand from Trumpโ€™s DOJ.

Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

The American people arenโ€™t buying the Trump/GOP lies.

Nearly half blame Trump and the GOP for the shutdown.

Trump thinks if he causes Democrats enough pain, they will cave. Not realizing the pain heโ€™s causing is on both sides of the aisle. #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown

There was no characterization. Thatโ€™s what he said.

But this is Speaker Johnson. Too scared to speak with integrity. Too weak to lead.

"Regardless of citizenship."

There it is in black and white print.

Your citizenship status has no bearing. We will conduct extra-judicial abductions, arrests, detentions, deportations without an due process. We own you. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO RESIST OR DEFEND YOUR CIVIL RIGHTS.

FASCISM.

Tl;dr: root-and-branch reform is necessary - nay, essential - if we are going to be a Republic of laws & the constitution means anything at all. The status quo simply cannot continue.

Apparently, the testimony of 40 minors was not enough to convince then U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta (later a Trump appointee) to prosecute Jeffrey Epstein.

This is one of the biggest cover-ups of our generation. @oversightdemocrats.house.gov won't stop until the truth comes to light.

Returning to a subject I was discussing this morning on X, I think a single video like this does more to radicalize people against ICE than any loaded rhetoric any politician has ever used, and DHS should think very hard about the consequences of supporting this kind of behavior from its agents.

Donโ€™t just tell themโ€”tell their *sponsors.* Local businesses donโ€™t want the trouble of being boycotted or having bad reviews due to where they put their ads. They are actually the easiest target to influence with the fewest voices. There are always other places to advertise.
