First, Trump demanded that the Justice Department put $230 million in his pocket. Now he also wants $10 billion from the IRS.
Among the questions: Will he try to approve a taxpayer-financed payoff to himself?

Federal agents arrest Don Lemon over Minnesota church protest.
This is fascism.
The former CNN anchor has said he was not demonstrating, but reporting as a journalist, during the interruption of a service inside a St. Paul church earlier this month.

BREAKING: Trump’s DOJ has just arrested reporter Don Lemon for reporting on the Minneapolis protests.
Meanwhile, Americans still don’t know the name of the masked federal agents who killed an American citizen on the streets.
This is a blatant attack on our First Amendment rights

The murders of Renée Good, and Alex Pretti are the natural consequence of Trumpism and DHS’s violent and reactionary agency culture.
"They protested.
They're dead.
They got what they deserved."

When life gives us Lemons, we must all come to Lemon’s aid. Love him or hate him, Don Lemon is not afraid to speak truth to power, and this will only give him an opportunity to report firsthand this Administration’s efforts to silence him. May this blow up bigly in the “Justice” Department’s faces.
