The Justice Department is not the president's personal law firm. You are not his lawyers.

The free press should be exactly that — free. If the facts they report don’t align with the president’s propaganda, tough.

And this statement is a disgrace to the DOJ and the rule of law.

An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government.

DOGE is not a real government agency.
DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions.
DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law.
DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand.

Trump's top border goon whined that Chicagoans are so educated about their rights that it's messing with ICE's raids. Today in @thenation.com, organizer Raeghn Draper tells us how the city is resisting—and how you can too. A great reminder—we're NOT helpless! www.thenation.com/article/acti...

Think There’s Nothing You Can Do to Stop ICE? Think Again.

Chicago’s years of organizing against immigration raids are a blueprint for real resistance to Trump’s attacks—as even his top goons acknowledge.
