Justice Dept. Subpoenas Office of Letitia James, Who Sued Trump for Fraud

Attorney General James took on Trump's fraud and the NRA's rampant corruption—and won both cases.

So it's little wonder that Trump's politicized DOJ is now coming after her.

The people of New York stand with their lawyer and champion.

No doubt

Yes please

weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him

The President of the United States went on CNBC today and said: He won the 2020 election (he didn’t). He has a 71% approval rating (he doesn’t). The jobs numbers were rigged (they weren’t).

I could say something funny here, but I won’t. It’s just so damn dangerous to have him in the White House.

By many accounts Ghislaine Maxwell is just as bad, if not worse, than Epstein. There’s no reason a pardon should ever be on the table for her, but Trump won’t rule it out. Listen to Journalist Julie K. Brown on the latest pod episode: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPLD...

What is wrong with the press. Why has possible no reporter asked Donald Trump about. Victims. Victims. Victims. Victims. Victims.

It's truly DISGUSTING to see the focus only on MAGA Voters. I don't care what voters do.

Ask why Donald Trump does not care about Epstein and Maxwell victims

Victims of child rape have risked their mental health and lives to testify against Ghislaine Maxwell and also testify against Donald Trump for violent sexual assault as women. Yet GROWN ADULTS are too afraid of risking their proximity to power to demand the Epstein files or to directly condemn Trump

😢😢

This past week, the 79-year-old president announced he’s ended six wars (some that have been going on for centuries), asserted that windmills drive whales insane, called for Beyoncé to be prosecuted, claimed Obama committed treason and complained a convicted pedophile “stole” teenage girls from him.

The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades

Acting like this is complicated is absurd. The man knew what Epstein did, didn't care, and participated

Planned Parenthood closes 5 Northern California clinics, citing Trump budget cuts President Trump’s budget cuts to Medicaid have forced Planned Parenthood to shutter five clinics across Northern California and the Central Coast, including one in South San Francisco.

Devastating news that five Planned Parenthood locations in Northern California will close as a result of Republicans' cruel cruel budget bill.

Planned Parenthood provides basic health exams, cancer screenings, & vaccinations. Hands Off Planned Parenthood.

The FCC had major concerns about the Paramount/Skydance merger and they all went away once Paramount pulled Donald Trump’s biggest critic off the air.

Colbert is fired and immediately the merger is approved.

These people don’t hide the corruption. They celebrate it.

Media who are writing about the Jeffrey Epstein case, please watch for these words: "Underage woman" - There is no such thing. An underage woman is a child. "Child Prostitute" — Children can NOT consent. They are rape victims, sexual assault victims, or survivors. "Sex with [minors, underage women, or etcetera.]" — It's rape. Call it rape. "Non-consensual sex" is polite weasel-wording for "rape," and rapists do NOT deserve your politeness. Their victims deserve validation of what they have been through. Thank you.

Check your language.

If you don't already, watch Colbert. He is a man with no more f*cks left to give. And it's glorious.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Horrific. This must end. And the people of Gaza need resources, independence and opportunity. Netanyahu must be held accountable. Not in our name. Not with our funds.

27 different named women accused him of sex assault, he’s on video with Epstein where they are grossly leering at young women, Miss Teen USA contestants said he came in dressing room when they were naked, he bragged on the Access Hollywood tape about grabbing women. It’s obvious.

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

Corporations aren’t people, money isn’t free speech, and we need to End Citizens United.

Repost if you agree.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode deficits

3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Court papers filed Wednesday state that Mr. Abrego Garcia was beaten, deprived of sleep, and subjected to psychological torture during the nearly three months he spent in Salvadoran custody. It is unacceptable to send people to other countries to be tortured!

Biden built an industrial policy. It was working. We were on a comeback.

This Republican budget bill - which destroys the clean energy industry in the U.S. - is a choice to surrender to China.

Opinion | Does Trumpland chaos bode better times ahead? I say yes. Happy Fourth! If difficult times mean something good is trying to be born, let’s celebrate this Independence Day.

Here's a gift link to my July 4th piece in today's Washington Post.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

But “we’re broke”, right? We can’t afford health care, housing, education, etc right?

A budget is a moral document. 🇺🇸

‘Big beautiful bill’ will exact enormous costs on disabled individuals and their families The proposed GOP budget cuts would devastate the Medicaid system, reducing funding for services that support disabled Americans and forcing them to choose between institutionalization or unpaid car…

I have a brother with Down Syndrome who is now 50 years old. He lives independently and even if his Medicaid is not cut, the other support services (transportation, employment support) that allow him to live and work will be, drastically changing his productive life. thehill.com/opinion/heal...

I worked at Planned Parenthood.

They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges.
 
Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.
