This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Republican Senators are cowards. They have a responsibility to curb Trump's abuses of power and they have abdicated that responsibility.

Thank you for the thread.

Seems like a ton of words for what appears to me to be, “Jim showed up & showed out. He put his whole thing on the table & said, ‘Matter of Fact, I want the case dismissed and THEM all arrested. See you in court.’”

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

HOLY SH*T.

There it is.

Trump says he will speak to the DOJ about giving Ghislaine Maxwell a pardon.
Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: Haven't heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ. A lot of people have asked me for pardons.

Reporter: But she’s convicted of sex trafficking

Trump: I’ll have to take a look at it.

Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school.

Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

Very much worth reading parts of Judge William G. Young's ruling taking on the Trump admin's assault on the First Amendment.

Notable that a decision from a Reagan appointee is filled with paragraphs like this one.

Trump says the US is in "armed conflict" with drug cartels.

Meanwhile, his DOJ is disbanding a task force that took on cartels.

Trump doesn't care about stopping drug trafficking — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.

This is a power grab.

Just unbelievable stuff coming from independent journalists these days. Jack Posobiec, Roger Stone protege, was one of the biggest spreaders of Russian disinfo in 2016. Then Pizzagate, Macron leaks, election-fraud narratives in 2020. And it took til now to show he was voting fraudulently himself? 1/

Trump wants to use a shutdown of Republicans’ own making to keep YOU in the dark about our economy.

The September jobs numbers are ready – and Trump must release them.

Without them, the Fed is flying blind while making decisions that impact you.

For all the media repeating that ACA COVID subsidies “cost” ~$30B, the U.S. just pledged $20B to Argentina to stabilize an autocrat’s government and protect a GOP megadonor who loaded up on Argentine debt. No one’s blinking at that. Let’s keep things in perspective.
