BREAKING: I'm placing a hold on President Trump's nominee for U.S. Attorney in DC.
For the past few weeks, Ed Martin has been a one-man wrecking ball. Threatening political opponents, firing public servants, and using his office to chill free speech.
His nomination must be blocked.

Sen. @booker.senate.gov : “I rise with the intention of disrupting the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able. Our constituents are asking us to acknowledge that this is a crisis. So I am going to stand here until I no longer can.”
Cory Booker has taken the Senate floor and plans to filibuster as long as he’s physically able to protest the complete disregard for the rule of law by Trump and Musk.

The Episcopal bishop of Washington, Rev. Marianne Edgar Budde, dared to ask Trump to have mercy on those who now live in fear.
Authoritarians thrive when people become afraid to speak up.
May we all be as courageous as she is when we see pain and injustice inflicted on others. What a hero.

After all of this time.
It only took one woman to completely shine a light on the hypocrisy of these “Christians.”
We’ve always known they were frauds. Were fakes.
Their faces and response showed who they really are.
Greedy and demonic, hateful liars.

It was never about email security with Hillary. Never. The press turned her minor mistake on email security into the biggest story in the world FOR PROFIT.
When we say the press is to blame for the rise of fascism in America, this is what we mean.
