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.

👀 someone calling out big law firm complicity and cowardice

Sign reading BIG LAW LITTLE BALLS, and then listing a bunch of lil ball'd firms:

A&O Shearman
Cadwalder, Wickersham
Kirkland & Ellis
Latham & Watkins
Milbank
Paul, Weiss
Simpson Thatcher
Skadden, Arpa
Willkie Farr

Then the sign ends with a Trump quote that should make these firms put their heads in the proverbial bag:

"They gave me a lot of money considering they did nothing wrong"

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Reminder that Tish James released an investigation that eventually led to Cuomo‘s 2021 resignation. Cuomo is vengeful just like Trump
