Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

Our court system has lost all semblance of common sense. The protesters in Portland, OR occupy less than a 1/2 block in front of an ICE detention facility. Sending in National Guard is a huge waste of taxpayer $ & may provoke violence.

Great news! These ICE thugs need to be held accountable for their actions, they're not above the law! These January 6th Insurrectionists - Proud Boys, Oath Keepers & rednecks - should still be in prison for their heinous crimes & never been pardoned! Thank you Rep Garcia @robertgarcia.bsky.social 👏👏

MOM, WHY DO ICE AGENTS WEAR MASKS? BECAUSE THEY WERE PREVIOUSLY ARRESTED ON JANUARY 6 DEAR.

OMG! In Comey's motion to dismiss for vindictive prosecution, he points to others who have lied to Congress that were NOT prosecuted. Number one is JEFF SESSIONS when he said "I have been called a surrogate at a time or two, but I did not have contact with the Russians." 1/

Appeals court allows Trump administration to deploy National Guard in Portland.

Don’t be sad…be angry…and then channel that anger…into constructive action.

It’s the most effective way to say, “Stick it in your ass, Donald. We never quit!”

There are several bills to cut off Congress's pay checks during government shutdowns

Now there's a bill to halt White House ballroom renovations during the shutdown:

I’ve been waiting for many years for a prominent Democrat to relentlessly fact-check their lies in real time rather than issuing press statements days later when it’s too late.

New developments in my 3 year Epstein investigation, this time regarding JP Morgan Chase and its CEO, Jamie Dimon. This is a long thread, but worth sticking around for.

Lindsey Graham's bill to declare Russia a terrorist state.
Only 84 co-sponsors so far.

All Democrat legislators must sponsor this.

If we can all come together over this, there's hope for a clean end to Trumpism under the 14A§3.

I want to know: with respect to Epstein’s crimes, what did JPMC execs know and when did they know it? If Dimon really knew nothing about Epstein, then how does he explain reported internal emails from his employees flagging Epstein’s activity for him?

Here’s the other big problem: Treasury Secretary Bessent is sitting on a massive Epstein file containing thousands more bank documents that would help us continue to follow the money through his sex trafficking ring.

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing.

And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power.

When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.
