Mullin: "In 2009 there was sweetheart plea deal that was made under the Obama administration with Epstein."

Tapper: "No, that's not right. It was 2008. The U.S. Attorney at the time was Alex Acosta. He was a Bush appointee He went on to become President Trump's Secretary of Labor."

Columbia's Mohsen Mahdawi, fresh out of U.S. detention, walks the graduation stage He spent more than two weeks in federal detention before a federal judge ordered his release.

Yesterday — just weeks after a judge released him from detention — our client Mohsen Mahdawi graduated from Columbia University.

This is a momentous moment for him and for all of us who believe in our right to speak truth to power.

um…

Alina Habba is a partisan hack and Trump lackey who will never be confirmed as a United States Attorney.

Dear press: Why do questions of mental acuity activate only with the prior but not the current administration? Asking for a nation.

Opinion | What Trump Just Cost America Do you think these former close U.S. allies are ever going to trust getting into a trench with this administration again?

“I have many reactions to President Trump’s largely caving on his harebrained plan to tariff the world, but overall, one reaction just keeps coming back to me: If you hire clowns, you should expect a circus,” our columnist @thomaslfriedman.bsky.social writes.

60 Minutes found that 90% of the immigrants sent to brutal prison in El Salvador had no criminal record. I cant stop thinking about them, worrying about them. This is so wrong. Why isnt everyone upset? Trump regime refuses to bring them back. Its just terrible.

"It's criminal." Nina Olson, former national taxpayer advocate at the IRS, emphasizes the illegality of the IRS sharing taxpayer data with ICE.

Trump orders investigation of two first-term administration aides who criticized him The president signed executive orders targeting Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor, an escalation of his retribution campaign.

“A president ordering investigations of specific individuals whom he considers to be his political enemies is a remarkable breach of the traditional wall of separation between the White House and the Justice Department.”
Trump wants to be a dictator.
We must stop him.

It’s far from perfect, but public (and Senate GOP) pressure once again kept Trump in check from his instinct to impose unbridled tariffs. Colleges, law firms, school districts are giving him the birdie. Don’t be fearful, redouble your efforts! It’s working!

Don’t overthink this.
He’s asking for bribes.

Trump has signed an executive order targeting Susman Godfrey, the law firm that helped Dominion Voting Systems obtain its $787 million settlement from Fox for the network's 2020 election lies.

Judge finds Newsmax aired false and defamatory claims about voting-tech company A Delaware judge finds the right-wing network aired false and defamatory statements about Dominion Voting Systems' role in the 2020 presidential election. A jury trial is slated for late April.

The U.S. cannot send people to places where torture is a known risk.

Transfers to El Salvador’s CECOT prison violate international law, US law, & our commitment to human rights.

Today, @ramirez.house.gov & I wrote to Sec. Rubio demanding answers & a halt to these transfers.

Shows you the character of Treasury Sec Scott Bessent. Bloomberg reports he was excluded from the small group that came up with Trump‘s tariffs, yet he is out this morning parroting what he knows is bullshit talking points and lies!

Our Treasury Secretary has totally disappeared! If Scott Bessent is too embarrassed to be in the public eye speaking about what they are doing, he should resign!

Bessent should resign now.

Perhaps an interesting question for the journalists who interview Secretaries Bessent and Lutnick next: “How much money did you lose last week?”

Talked to a business friend deeply involved in CEO world, knows Trump and Scott Bessent. Calls Trump “a drunk driver taking the economy off the cliff into a needless recession,’ says Bessent told him he agrees. Predicts “he’ll be the shortest tenured Sec of Treasury in history.”

Cuts, Tariffs Sting Loyal Trump Farmers In January, the year ahead for Jim Hartman, a North Carolina farmer,

Agriculture Dept is phasing out 2 programs used to buy local produce for food banks & schools.

This plus tariffs will cost farmers a lot.

“Stuff like this is pushing me left,” said Army veteran and lifelong Republican who voted for Trump

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

We’re going to annex Canada and invade Greenland but we can’t request return of an innocent man from El Salvador.

American women friends. Are you aware one of the policies listed in the SAVE Act, the GOP are pushing through, is that women’s birth certificate names must match your current name. All of it. Changed your name when you got married? You won’t be able to vote.

Call your Congress members!

This is how they start disappearing American citizens they dislike.

People on here who are poo-pooing Booker underestimate the power of storytelling in politics.

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

"Don't become like him. Be an American that says I look to the future. Yes, things are scary right now. But we can overcome."

MORE. OF. THIS. 👏👏👏👏👏

Waltz and staff used Gmail for government communications, officials say Trump’s national security adviser is trying to manage his way out of a crisis. But new revelations about his team’s operational security are piling up in the inbox.

So embarrassing.
