Nine years ago, at a political event in Brooklyn, I met a rising star, freshman Congressman Hakeem S. Jeffries.
As a Hasidic Jew, I was struck by how warmly he engaged with me, showing a deep respect for my faith and community, something not all elected officials take the time to do. 🧵

Wait, so most of your announcement video is focused on a conflict thousands of miles away, so why don't you run there?
In all seriousness, Mike, I used to respect you and didn't expect this from you. This seems opportunistic, which I don't care about, and dog whistling, which I do care about.

I'm Ryan Crosswell. I’ve spent my life in service to this country. When Trump tried to get the prosecutors in my section to use the DOJ, I stepped down.
Now, I'm stepping up. I’m running for Congress because it’s time to stand up against a handful of billionaires from taking our money and our data.

Republicans are shutting down the government rather than fixing the healthcare crisis they created.
Democrats must use the budget negotiations to fight back.

● Publicly urges Bondi to go after Comey.
● Installs his personal insurance lawyer with zero prosecutorial experience.

This is very troubling.
The 94 U.S. attorneys’ offices in the U.S. can't continue to build cases against officials who need to be investigated, let alone prosecute new cases on their own.
But Trump doesn't care; the DOJ is now his personal law firm.

NOTUS reports that since Trump took office, my section, Public Integrity, went from 36 people investigating public corruption to TWO.
