R’s have used every vehicle to ram through one-sided bills and undo bipar agreements.

Yet now R’s need votes from D’s to pass a budget.

R’s have NEVER discussed a budget with D’s.

Other than Charlie Brown, who would ever trust R’s to fix healthcare AFTER the gov is reopened?

If @jd-vance-1.bsky.social has never seen the videotape of Tom Homan accepting a $50k bribe (as he says in this clip), how can he possible know that Tom Homan did not commit a crime?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 15h

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

What are you talking about @jd-vance-1.bsky.social??

Low income women are not going to get their food benefits because YOU *cut* them in your Big Ugly Bill!

It’s shameful how much you flat out lie.

You are in charge. Open the government.

Why do you straight up lie, Elise Stefanik?

Tish James has unequivocally stated she will not pay for her defense with that fund.

What is actually a “disturbing reminder” is what a shill you are for Trump and his nakedly partisan direction to make his lackey charge his enemy.

I know you’ve become a total lap dog for Trump, Mike Lawler, but you should read this so you have some clue about the case.

And maybe, just maybe, you’ll stand up for the rule of law and the Constitution instead of your orange master.

Daniel Goldman @danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co · 2d

Mike Lawler, are you really defending an indictment brought by an unqualified political hack after Trump directed the AG to charge his political enemy?

You support using the criminal justice system for political revenge?

You want to stake reelection on this abomination?

Yet again, Trump is grossly abusing the criminal justice system by directing an unqualified political lackey to indict his adversary.

Let’s be clear: this kind of corruption is how authoritarians become dictators.

And this is also on every Republican who doesn’t speak up.

You are shameless.

You laundered Russian misinformation in 2020 and then communicated with the WH on Jan 6.

You weren’t surveilled.

DOJ obtained basic records after the fact —date, time and length of call, but no substance — to confirm Trump’s effort to overturn the election.

Jeffrey Epstein? Never heard of him.

Mike Johnson sent the GOP on vacation during a shutdown to avoid releasing the Epstein Files.

Now Donald Trump plays dumb (I think) about them.

The coverup is vast and deep.

Release ALL the files.

Tom Homan took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag.

The DOJ shuttered the investigation. Meanwhile, Pam Bondi is chasing down political opponents like NY AG Letitia James.

This is the biggest political corruption scandal in modern history.

Let’s follow along:

Trump directs DOJ to investigate his enemies.

VA US Atty refused to prosecute two of them due to lack of evidence.

He is fired by Trump.

Trump hires his own personal defense attorney as VA US Atty to take over investigations.

Wonder why she was hired?

Political violence is abhorrent in all contexts.

Bondi and Trump must stop using it as a pretext to persecute political enemies and violate the 1st Amendment.

Engaging in witch hunts against liberals because of their political views is exactly what the 1A protects us from.

Wake up America!

Donald Trump is pursuing a coordinated effort to destroy our democracy.

It is up to all of us to stop him.

And that includes corporate media like Disney/ABC and tech companies bending the knee.

It may be someone else today.

But it will be you tomorrow.

If there is a court order prohibiting the FBI from releasing the non-grand jury materials — videos, photographs, witness statements — why did Kash Patel direct dozens of FBI agents to spend thousands of hours to review and redact them?

Show us the order still in effect.

I charged RICO cases.

Yelling at the President is not a racketeering act and cannot be the basis for a criminal charge.

Todd Blanche knows better.

He is corrupting the DOJ with ridiculous comments like this.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 26d

Deputy AG Blanche: RICO is available to all kinds of organizations committing crimes and committing wrongful acts… So is it sheer happenstance that individuals show up at a restaurant where the president is trying to enjoy dinner and accost him with vile words?

Using Charlie’s murder to advance your agenda is disgusting, but all too common going all the way to the President.

Political violence is unacceptable. Full stop. No exceptions.

It’s not complicated: If you want to stop being called a fascist, you should stop being a fascist.

Trump is taking a hack saw to the government and illegally cutting billions that Congress has authorized.

This is our chance to stop his efforts to defund the American people.

Democrats shouldn't trade a single vote without clear support for Congress’s power of the purse.

SCOTUS is out of control.

It is abusing the shadow emergency docket by reversing well-considered lower court opinions without full briefing, oral argument, or even any explanation whatsoever.

Now ICE will continue to make unconstitutional arrests based solely on race.

Supreme Court lifts restrictions on ‘roving’ ICE raids in Los Angeles

The ruling blocks a lower court’s order that found the enforcement operations were based on impermissible factors.

Elise hasn’t hosted an in-person town hall in 6 years.

She voted to rip health care and food assistance away from tens of thousands of her constituents.

She just got booed off a stage in her district.

So now she’s spending time in NYC to advance her craven political ambitions.

As Trump shows his incompetence in foreign policy, we are losing our allies and pushing our enemies closer together.

In 8 months, Trump has effectively undone 80 years of American global leadership.

We are much less safe under Trump.

Ed Martin is a disgraced partisan hack, rejected for U.S. Attorney by members of his OWN party.

Now, Trump has installed him as a special prosecutor to go after his political enemies.

Trump has turned the world’s premier law enforcement body into a political hit squad.

Masked ICE agents abducting people off the street mirror the secret police tactics of Soviet Russia—not the world’s oldest democracy.

@repespaillat.bsky.social and I introduced the No Secret Police Act to bring these agents into the light and stop ICE from acting like a rogue authoritarian force.
