Erik Siebert, the federal prosecutor whom President Donald Trump pushed out Friday for declining to prosecute his political enemies, listed as an attorney on 675 federal cases.
His replacement, Lindsey Halligan, who's Trump's former lawyer, has worked on only three.

The wildly unqualified lawyer Trump just named to prosecute his enemies
Lindsey Halligan, the new US attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, has no experience as a prosecutor.

I find it weird that people are painting Mamdani as an extreme outsider.
The US govt. has taken ownership positions in major US companies like Intel (and soon TikTok).
Mamdani wants to open a city-run grocery store to sell cheap groceries.
And you're telling me the second is a radical socialist.

An astonishing figure in this piece:
Last year, the U.S. budgeted $12.8B for new affordable housing.
This country is now poised to spend $45B on immigrant detention centers.
That's nearly *four times* as much on cages as on homes—in the middle of a devastating housing and homelessness crisis.

Are We About to Have Labor Camps in the United States of America?
If you think that’s far-fetched, then you really haven’t been paying attention to what the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress have been up to lately.

BREAKING: I will object to Republicans moving forward on their Big, Ugly Bill without reading it on the Senate floor
Republicans won’t tell America what’s in the bill
So Democrats are forcing it to be read start to finish on the floor

WTF is up with this regime?! Less than three weeks after Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia was brought back from a wrongful deportation to El Salvador to face bogus charges in the U.S., the Trump administration now plans to deport him again, this time to a completely different country.

Vermont is enraged that the Trump administration is sending masked men to snatch up legal residents to essentially disappear them with no evidence.
Good people across this country are standing up and resisting. I don't recognize America at this point. Release Mohsen Mahdawi NOW.

No compassion, no empathy. The opposite of what we all need in a leader.
Joined @audiecornish.bsky.social to discuss the impact of Trump's tariffs. Small businesses can’t deal with the "on again, off again" approach. They can’t plan, can’t invest, can’t hire when Trump might change his mind tomorrow or in an hour.
He has so much contempt for working people.

Please read. Thank you.
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Democrats on the Judiciary Committee from both the House and Senate convened to hold Trump accountable for his authoritarian regime.
Republicans, who control Congress, refuse to conduct oversight on the Trump administration.
So we're doing it with or without them.

I agree with Rep. Crockett. Enough already. I can also empathize about not being a good politican. I've never been good at ass kissing. I can't even schmooze at the local blues society jam.
It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails.
Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.
