You don't "not recall" telling DOJ lawyers to say "fuck you" to court orders. You either remember saying it, or you remember that you definitely didn't say it. Emil Bove saying he doesn't recall means he definitely said it, and there's a roomful of people that can testify to it.

Everything was fine until Trump decided to unleash violent raids w/o grounds in elementary schools, shopping areas, & peaceful public spaces.

ICE then illegally blocked Members of Congress entry into the facilities they are disappearing people into, escalating the situation.

Let’s start there.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.

They are in charge.

Donald Trump didn’t call in the National Guard on January 6th.

Yet he called them in to LA without a request from officials in California.

He pardoned people who smeared bodily fluids on our Capitol and beat cops, calling them “patriots.”

His hypocrisy is nauseating.

So, ICE "officers" are going around with faces covered, kidnapping (sorry, "arresting") people, without any ID or warrants, & generally acting like goons or thugs.

And they wonder why they are not respected?

Really? Are they kidding?

Respect has to be earned. Take masks off & wear ID for a start!

Several guests who attended Trump's crypto dinner last night said they attended with the explicit intent of influencing him and U.S. financial regulations.

Trump is selling access to our government to the highest bidder while lining his own pockets.

It's all out in the open.

I literally made this joke throughout Trump’s first term: that ISIS leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi could have avoided being killed by the US if he’d offered to build a Trump Tower in Raqqa. I was joking.

And yet:
Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa is reportedly planning to offer Donald Trump a deal that includes building a Trump Tower in Damascus.

Autocrats around the world have figured out the price of Trump’s attention.
