Don’t buy the line that “nothing has been done.” We passed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act — and this President gutted its life-saving programs. Yes, we must do more. But change starts with the people in power. Voters must hold them accountable and demand better.

The political assassinations in MN = domestic terrorism.
A reminder that the guy now running the DHS division responsible for combating domestic terror & targeted attacks is a 22 yr old with no federal experience, and whose last job was his own lawn mowing biz.
Dems should now be screaming this.

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US.
When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

In case you’ve forgotten how we used to treat this sort of thing…
There would be bipartisan calls for investigations
Impeachment would be a foregone conclusion
Several people would’ve resigned or been fired by end of day
Back when responsible adults were in charge, not this insane clown posse

Here’s the money line in the acting AG’s letter firing the prosecutors who worked on the Trump case. Leadership does not trust you in “implementing the president’s agenda.” DOJ supports and defends the Constitution, not the president’s agenda.
