"Trump’s public unraveling is not a show of power. It is the frantic flailing of a political movement collapsing under the weight of its corruption, lies, and authoritarian ambitions. Where our institutions fail, the American people are...holding him accountable."

"It’s the Monday before Thanksgiving. Trump seems to be foundering wherever we look, a weak man, consumed with the need to seek revenge against people who refuse to treat him like a king. But this is America, and we don’t need any kings."

"This is the reality. Trump is lurching from scandal to scandal, demanding loyalty over law, and presiding over an economy that’s spiraling before our eyes. And at every turn, he reaches for the same tools. Lies. Rage. Retribution. Chaos."

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

“Plead the Fifth” regarding what??
Maxwell has exhausted her appellate process. SCOTUS has rejected her.
