“We believe it’s our duty to sound the alarm about this administration’s degradation of DoJ’s vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it,” according to an open letter signed by 282 former officials.

It will take years to rebuild our Justice Dept.

The Justice Department is now identical to Russia’s Prosecutor General’s Office and our FBI is like Russia’s FSB security services. Now Americans will see how justice is carried out in Russia. I call it the Kremlinization of America’s justice system.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Exploiting Charlie Kirk’s terrible murder to punish educators is wrong.

When you play politics with tragedy, students and teachers pay the price.

So I'm wondering today how all the lawyers at firms that caved to Trump—and also Sullivan & Cromwell, which is representing him on his criminal appeal—are feeling about how things are going?

Are your salaries and draws worth it?

Agreed! I’ve not been following him too closely so doing some deep analysis of his methods and tactics was eye opening…

One more reason why I will work to get Governor Katie Hobbs re-elected in 2026!

Now - please create a funding mechanism to make this free for low income and vulnerable populations. This vaccine is far cheaper than ER visits!

Hobbs issues order to have AZ Health Dept issue blanket prescriptions for COVID vaccines for those who want it but no longer qualify after feds, under RFK Jr., change the standards. Still, it won't force AZ insurers to pick up the tab. tucson.com/news/local/a...

I wonder what I’m doing with that part of my brain that used to keep like everyone phone numbers in my memory…

Trevor Nelson @ctrevornelson.bsky.social · Sep 1

Cool… nice opinion…

so tell the official letter I got from the Arizona Department of Economic Security that and we should be all good…

Cause the letter is very clear about my family losing benefits if I’m not working at least 20 hours a week …

The recent court ruling on Trump’s tariffs is incredibly important and good for economic stability. The ruling is good for democracy and the rule of law. Here's why. (1/6)

The NeW work requirements to be SNAP eligible is able bodied adults working
Is the same policy that lead to breaking up families; if the Dad can’t find work then the family loses food stamps
If the Dad moves out… family qualifies
