Phang: Because Todd Blanche, we know, is the loser of losers. Todd Blanche is the guy responsible for Donald Trump getting 34 felonies for which he was convicted.
So when I call Donald Trump convicted felon Donald Trump, that’s really an homage to Todd Blanche.

Months ago, the DOJ said there was no further need for investigations in the Epstein case. Then Trump made a ridiculous new demand — and Bondi did what she was told to do.

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

Immigrant detention is inhumane, arbitrary, and rife with abuse. Take action to shut down ICE's supercharged detention machine now.

Count the ways they’re corrupting DOJ: Presidents don’t direct AG’s to open criminal cases, especially ones designating only Dems for investigation when POTUS himself is involved. DOJ doesn’t publicize criminal investigations & the AG definitely doesn’t assign them on Twitter.

Is the Trump administration trying to drag America into another war?
They are parking some of our most lethal warships off the coast of Venezuela and sending thousands of service members to the region.
And we're supposed to believe this is about blowing up speedboats?

Great line from Rep Adam Smith here on this crazy memo on Trump's boat murders: He says administration lawyers may be looking at the bombings and saying, in effect, “Damn, we are really pushing the envelope here. We’d better do something a little extra special to protect our people.”
The memo “signals fear that what they’re doing is illegal and that they could possibly be subject to criminal action under US law and international law,” Rep Adam Smith, top Armed Services Dem, tells me.
This opens them up to Qs about why they put this in there:
