Reminder why Trump wanted to be President again:
1. Escape criminal charges for committed crimes incl. insurrection & stealing national security secrets
2. Line his pockets w/riches only made possible by being President
3. Retribution against *all *perceived enemies
That's it.

On a day when the Kennedy family is grappling with an unimaginable personal loss, Donald Trump chose to use his platform to launch petty, vindictive attacks against them. Yet another stunning display of cruelty and utter lack of basic human decency.

“Donald Trump likes to use a big number to anchor his point, especially when he wanders off on a tangent,” Marie-Rose Sheinerman reports. “Often it seems that a specific figure is on the tip of his tongue.”

Wow.
Large law firms are siding with Trump over their clients and employees. Let me give you one statistic to exemplify this:
DOJ is suing 22 states for access to sensitive voter data.
My firm of 60 lawyers is fighting in all 22.
Not a single big law firm is fighting along side us in any case.

This is monstrous. He wants to turn the residents of the state against Walz and against the Somali-American population.
BREAKING
The Trump administration says it has frozen all childcare payments to Minnesota in the aftermath of allegations of fraud by some in the Somali community.
Important: allegations along these lines have existed for years, which has resulted in prosecutions starting with the Biden DOJ.

Newly unsealed docs show DOJ moved to prosecute Kilmar Abrego Garcia for smuggling only after it became clear Trump might not be able to deport him. Sure looks driven by a desire to punish him for fighting back against Trump/Miller lawlessness. Trump had to be right.

He's using the CIA as an end-run around Congress. Trump installed Michael Ellis as General Counsel of the CIA back in September and got him to write a memo saying these attacks are legal. Ellis was part of the group that hid the "perfect" phone call with Zelenskyy that led to Trump's 1st impeachment
That’s a serious escalation, and we've heard nothing about it from our own government.
