Translation: if Dems don’t cave this week, Donald Trump and Republicans are going to turn up the pain level on the American people.

📌 “The Schumer shutdown is likely to end sometime this week… if it doesn’t… the White House…will have to look at stronger measures…to bring them to the table.”

#Fentanyl in the U.S. isn’t coming from #Venezuela. The real pipeline is chemicals from China to Mexican cartels, where it’s made into pills & powder, then smuggled across the border. That’s the supply chain driving US fentanyl crisis.
Sources: DEA & Council on Foreign Relations.
#Trump is a liar.

If ANYONE ELSE ON THE PLANET did to our White House what Donald Trump just did to our White House, Republicans would be losing their motherfucking minds.

The truth about Emil Bove's conduct at DOJ would not have been fully known, if it weren't for a whistleblower.

As this administration makes a habit of misleading the courts, and ignoring court orders, speaking up could mean exposing real lawlessness.

A building isn’t as important as the people his administration has murdered but there’s something breathtaking about seeing them literally demolish parts of the White House. I can’t stop looking at it

The destruction of the East Wing really bums me out in a way that I wasn't expecting.

I guess some of it is about the destruction of history. But I think it's mostly about the feeling of helplessness. There's nothing we can do to stop him.

Nobody is coming to save us. And it's going to get worse.

If Coloradan Lindsey Halligan had attended my earned media training for Colorado candidates a couple of weeks ago, she would have seen the slide that starts off, "Assume everything is on the record."

Comey is seeking dismissal of his case with prejudice due to Lindsey Halligan being improperly installed as an interim AG by Bondi.

I'm no fan of Comey, but I would like to see this case and the other weaponization cases fall apart.

It's a good thing Lindsey Halligan is so stupid and ignorant or she would have to face just how stupid and ignorant she is. #MAGAIsADisease

Under Trump there is a real chance this incomprehensibly incompetent insurance lawyer could be a SCOTUS Justice. Obedience, not competence, honor or country.

Here’s EDVa Interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan in action, texting secretly with lawyer-journalist @annabower.bsky.social — not smart; flirting with violating grand jury secrecy; maybe violating DOJ policy; leaking.

An ethical AG would discipline, maybe fire, Halligan for this.

But Pam Bondi.

Having had my whole career shaped and inspired by brilliant women who supported and empowered other women, my contempt for the Trumper bimbos like Lindsey Halligan, Alina Habba, Kristi Noem, and Karoline Leavitt knows no boundary. Madeleine Albright was absolutely correct.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Kudos to these universities for standing up to Trump's demands.
