Now Trump is weaponizing the FBI to go after the Members of Congress who spoke out against him.
The President is corrupt and none of us should back down in the face of these intimidation tactics.
If McClain took an oath “to the commander-in-chief”, she took the wrong one. 🤡

All of this after Trump & Republicans passed the largest cuts to SNAP in HISTORY this summer.
It's fundamentally immoral.
A depraved and decadent Trump WH dinner for MBS was a stunning low for an American ruling class that's stopped pretending to carry a moral compass
It was really a celebration of death - of democracy, of an overheating planet, and ultimately themselves. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ceos...

Six Democratic lawmakers released a video encouraging members of the military and intelligence community to “refuse illegal orders,” as they are required by law. Right-wing media figures claimed that they're committing “treason,” and trying to “trigger a military coup."

The same is true for everyone who swear their oath.
Hope that clears things up.
Some potential witnesses, such as the government attorneys who were appearing before Boasberg, may need to take the 5th.

In the Shameless Hall of Fame, this is up there with voting against the Biden infrastructure bill and then campaigning on the infrastructure projects in your district.

It will not go to the 5th Circuit. By law it goes straight to SCOTUS. Ron DeSantis is a moron.

Congress sent a clear message to the White House: Release the Epstein Files.
It should have never taken this long. Why did Trump fight this for months?
"They don't care about Trump's past sins, they care about his current failures" is quite a GOP message.

NEW: Gregory Bovino is exactly who E.B. White — author of 'Charlotte's Web' — warned us about.
DHS named its North Carolina anti-immigrant effort "Operation Charlotte's Web." In 1940, White wrote of the "smell" that "rises" from those who "adjust to fascism" over freedom.
Tonight, at Law Dork:
“I was 14… I was 16… this was me when I met Epstein… there are thousands of us… time to let the secrets out of the shadows”
Powerful ad from survivors ahead of a vote to tell us where each House rep stands on protecting kids vs protecting pedophiles.
A reminder that when Christian Nationalists in the Republican Party lecture you about the importance of "religious freedom," they are not talking about YOUR religion or YOUR freedom. They are talking about THEIR freedom to impose THEIR religion on you.

Sooooo dementia sleepy Joe Biden is actually a mastermind who framed Trump by adding evidence to the Epstein Files. Which are a hoax, but are being investigated. After trump closed the investigation in July, and said there was no client list.

This is a heist, plain and simple. Just nonstop grift and corruption from this crooked President and his administration.
They're doing nothing to make life more affordable for regular people, but they ARE working overtime to get rich using taxpayer dollars and resources.
Here’s @RepTedLieu responding to @RepTimBurchett’s shenanigans
(In fairness Burchett probably doesn’t even know how anything works)
A confidant of Bill Pulte provided confidential mortgage pricing data from Fannie Mae to a principal competitor, alarming officials of the govt-backed lending giant who warned it could expose Fannie Mae to claims it was colluding with a rival to fix mortgage rates.
The alarmed officials got fired.
