Reports that DOJ is looking at re-indicting Comey & James are more proof of Trump admin abuses

We @democracydefendersfund.org have been at the forefront as courts reject attempts to weaponize DOJ

We & partners just had another HUGE win๐Ÿ‘‡

Corruption is the force thatโ€™s defining Trumpโ€™s collapseโ€”the golden plane, the crypto billions, the corrupt pardons

Heโ€™s serving himself, not the American people

We @democracydefendersfund.org have 225+ legal matters showing that pattern

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

Trumpโ€™s attempt to install Alina Habba as US Attorney wasnโ€™t just unlawful

It was part of a broader assault on the Constitution that courts are REJECTING

We @democracydefendersfund.org helped lead this fightโ€“โ€“& 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 ๐Ÿ‘‡ -TN

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.

No one is safe from Trumpโ€™s 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 Trumpโ€™s retribution list is a back-handed badge of honor

Trump continues on his retributive rampage, but the American people arenโ€™t having it

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

Trump's behavior crosses every line

Public officials must be free to speak without fear of political retaliation

Our democracy depends on that freedom๐Ÿ‘‡

Has Trumpโ€™s Power Peaked? Publisher's Roundup 45

Trumpโ€™s 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
