The one thing the Letitia James and James Comey indictments have in common

As Donald Trump's Justice Department indicts Letitia James and James Comey, both cases are brazenly and transparently corrupt.

Hi Ymani. Pack Square was booked for earlier in the day and it was the only venue in town with the capacity for the crowds we are expecting, unfortunately.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Carolina Forward @carolinaforward.bsky.social · 7d

More than 660,000 North Carolinians are projected to lose their healthcare coverage under the Trump GOP's "One Big" federal budget, which Congress passed earlier this year. The bill effectively kills North Carolina's historic Medicaid expansion, which just passed in 2023.

The Trump Shutdown is happening because Republicans (who control the White House & Congress) refuse to pass a funding plan to stop health insurance costs from doubling this winter.

The Republicans control the White House, Senate and House, they refused to negotiate on the budget with Democrats and then they all went home. It’s on them, and the American people know it.
