This is the shadow government so many folks on here have advocated for. Watch the hearing!
Tomorrow, the Oversight Committee will hear testimony from family members of Renee Good. We'll be streaming across Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube at 3:00 PM EST.

I was a White House ethics lawyer.

I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.

I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.
Foreign countries are bribing our president to sell out the American people.
 
Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.
 
They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.

You’re describing an emergency. The world is also watching you and waiting for you to do something.

Are you going to establish an eviction moratorium? Rent is due today.
They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.
Hundreds of people spelled out the distress signal "SOS" on Bde Maka Ska in Minneapolis on Friday, Jan. 30.

Lawyers can't reach clients in ICE detention. I've heard it anecdotally, but scale of issue is horrifying.

Bloomberg Law is a legal trade pub so many may miss this. Screenshot from their CA newsletter summarizes "bleak" situation for justice and rule of law.

I am clear in what I want from my reps. I want them to use the tools they have. Grind things to a halt (if Graham can do it for $500k, they can). No more yes votes. The way they did this spending was good. Stay strong. Don't lie. We know it will take time

These Democrats won’t succeed in their quests to impeach Trump, Kennedy, and Noem. But they might have a different objective. - The Boston Globe
Nearly every one of the lawmakers pushing impeachment articles is either competing in a primary for higher office or seeking to fend off a primary challenge at home in the 2026 midterms.

Why do Fidelity and other financial organizations keep including Tesla in their top EFTs and Mutual Funds?

Forget the misconduct (just for a sec). The company appears to be all the things they teach people to avoid
Forcing Musk to have to answer for things like being in the files after calling out Trump for being there, begging to go to the island, and—TODAY, IN 2016—defending Epstein by describing the largest child rape ring of the century as "partying with young women," is one way to haunt this motherfucker!
"I can be a pedophile all on my own" is not the flex he thinks it is.

You somehow managed to at least update this AFTER they tear gassed a crowd of many thousands that included kids in Oregon and still left it out of the story @cnn.com.

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks.

They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

I'm curious @nytimes.com, do any of your reporters who were playing footsie with Epstein instead of reporting on him, have any of that corroborating information buried somewhere? You lack credibility on this story.
