I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Jack Smith didn't "tap" anyone's phone. He got phone records of potential insurrection suspects via lawful grand jury subpoenas. Just so happens some of those suspected of participating in January 6th were republican members of congress. If you don't want you phone records subpoenaed...

You can joke about Pam Bondiโ€™s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but Iโ€™m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. โ€” This should shake everyone to their core.

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.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Whitehouse: "The supposed contribution made to me by some Epstein person is actually not true. It's false. So, weird when an AG of the US comes to the Judiciary Committee & makes false allegations about a senator - demonstrably false - rather than answer a simple Q: Is there a picture, or no?"

Durbin to Bondi: "Although you've been a registered foreign agent for Qatar, you didn't recuse yourself from signing off on Trump's solicitation of a free jet from the royal family, even though this gift was clearly illegal.

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.

If this was a no, it would be really easy to say no.

Bondiโ€™s ad hominem attack on Whitehouse is WAY more of an answer than she realizes.

Weโ€™re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

It seems clearโ€”I think to everyone, nowโ€”that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

this is a very very big story because of the apparently totally fake story ICE/DHS put out about what happened.
