For no particular reason….posting former U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell’s mugshot before he went to Federal prison for committing numerous crimes on behalf and or/at the direction of President Nixon including obstruction of justice and conspiracy.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

“Weaponizing the DOJ” takes on a whole new level when you order investigations in order to reopen it so it’s no longer closed and you can claim you can’t release information because it’s an “ongoing investigation”

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

I think people are missing the point with this Epstein thing.
The question is not did he have sex with underaged girls. He did.
The question is not did he have illegal financial transactions with Epstein. He did.
The question is not did he serve as an asset and agent of Putin. He did.

Who knows. For years I thought, "*Now* will they finally say 'enough'?"
Is this finally the big—as some have so aptly put it—jailbreak?
Let us hope and pray that it is. But let's not hold our breath.

Fascist Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon calls on Trump to become "the American Caesar" and start arresting and imprisoning judges, mayors, governors and any other elected official who opposes his deportation policies: "He must cross the Rubicon."

A convicted felon who had also been found liable for sexual assault and committed additional crimes in plain sight was close with a notorious child sex trafficker and likely participated in some of those crimes too got elected with much of that known and spent his presidency railing against “crime.”

So proud of my friend and fellow Welsh Pembroke Corgi owner @andrewfeinberg.com for asking this question:
“What was the president doing with Virginia Giuffre for hours at Epstein's house?"

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me.
I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

A normal reaction to today's news, dear Nancy, would be to express shock and horror at the significant possibility that the president of the United States is a child molester.

You know, FDR was an "elite." He came from money on both sides of his family.
Yet, he wasn't a predatory scumbag like pretty much all of our rich elites now. He looked out for the little guy. He looked out for the poor. FDR cared about people.
We really need a better class of rich people.

Since January, Trump's Treasury has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax — a huge boon for big business and wealthy investors.
Meanwhile, he's led an all-out assault on Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs that help the poor.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Like he’s been photoshopped into a chaotic scene…but it’s more than dementia. He’s never had leadership, empathy or responsiveness. He knows enough to be perturbed at not being the center of attention.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.
