We & partners just had another HUGE win๐
Corruption is the force thatโs defining Trumpโs collapseโthe golden plane, the crypto billions, the corrupt pardons
Heโs serving himself, not the American people
We @democracydefendersfund.org have 225+ legal matters showing that pattern
I explained on @ms.now๐ - TN
Will Trump appeal our & partners big win in the Habba case to SCOTUS? If he does will they take it?
Who knows, but he has an uphill battle because the law is clear because she meets NONE of the legal requirements
I explained on @ms.now ๐
Trumpโs attempt to install Alina Habba as US Attorney wasnโt just unlawful
It was part of a broader assault on the Constitution that courts are REJECTING
We @democracydefendersfund.org helped lead this fightโโ& over 225 other cases & matters!

NOW: Joining @beatwithari.bsky.social on @ms.now to talk about the toll Trump's corruption is taking on our country and @democracydefendersfund.org's work to fight back against it in court.
We had a big win today when the 3rd Circuit Court ruled that Alina Habba's appointment is illegal ๐ -TN
Another win against Trump!

Here's our joint @democracydefendersfund.org statement with Abbe Lowell & Gerald Krovatan on the significance of this win. In a word: huge both in New Jersey & nationally. That includes further grounding the dismissals in the Comey & James cases ๐https://www.democracydefendersfund.org/prs/12.1.25-pr

No one is safe from Trumpโs retribution
Even the most powerful public officials are at risk of prosecution
Fortunately the courage of folks like @captmarkkelly.bsky.social, @replamonica.bsky.social and Judge Dugan is contagious and inspiring others to follow their lead
Inclusion on Trumpโs retribution list is a back-handed badge of honor
Trump continues on his retributive rampage, but the American people arenโt having it
I explained @velshimsnow.bsky.social
A US Attorney can only serve on an interim basis for 120 days
The cases against Comey and James were thrown out because a judge determined that Lindsey Halligan was unlawfully appointed
@democracydefendersfund.org & co-counsel pioneered this theory to challenge Habba in NJ & filed briefs here too
In Texas, Trump is ALL FOR redistricting to gain congressional seats
But in California, his DOJ is fighting it
LULAC CEO Juan Proano & I discuss Trump's hypocrisy & our efforts to safeguard the right to vote in our big Prop 50 case & beyond. Watch on LegalFightClub๐ www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGoO...
Trump's behavior crosses every line
Public officials must be free to speak without fear of political retaliation
Our democracy depends on that freedom๐
BREAKING: The court threw out the indictments against Comey & James
Halliganโs entire appointment & every political prosecution that followed had no legal basis
Trumpโs attempt to install loyalists to go after his critics failed

Trumpโs strongman image took a massive hit
He lost on Epstein
He melted down over a video urging service members to follow the law
He flipped on Mamdani
His dictatorial momentum is weakening fast

Trump's history with the Saudi Prince goes way deeper than you think

After Trump met w/ MBS, Saudi officials & Trump insiders headed to Trump Jr.โs โExecutive Branchโ club
The Trump family has taken approx. $2B from Saudi entities while giving them VIP access & influence
