Donald Trump is reportedly demanding that the DOJ pay him $230 million in damages related to the criminal cases it brought against him in 2023.

282 former DOJ officials signed a letter sounding the alarm about "this administration’s degradation of DOJ’s vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it."

The fact that hundreds felt compelled to say this speaks volumes.
Ex-Justice officials: 'It's our duty to sound the alarm'
Scores of officials who have resigned or been forced out of the Justice Department this year are speaking out against its "destruction."

As a result of President Trump’s suspension of foreign aid, hundreds of USAID shipments of antimalarial and HIV medical supplies arrived late at regional warehouses in dozens of countries.

Many did not arrive at all. The consequences were deadly. https://wapo.st/4mEo6NZ

This should go without saying, but it is highly inappropriate and unethical for a government agency to politicize a looming government shutdown in this way.

HUD should be prioritizing serving the public—not partisan talking points.

The fact that the president and his allies are attacking sitting federal judges is concerning.

That's why, in the midst of these threats, 42 former judges published a letter defending an “independent judiciary, free from political pressure.”

If Congress wants to protect democracy, here's what they must do:

1. End the militarization of DC
2. Protect the separation of powers
3. Conduct oversight of corruption
4. Demand transparency of Trump's abuse of the justice system
5. Ban congressional stock and crypto trading
