Donald Trump is suing the federal government for $10 billion. That is your money. Never in our history have we seen something like this. The billionaire President always has a new plan to make himself richer, but never a plan to make your bills more affordable.

DHS agents in MN swerved in front of an unarmed woman who was recording them, once again WALK IN FRONT OF A CAR with guns drawn. The only thing they've learned from Renee Good is how to get away with killing people. A local cop intervened to stop the illegal arrest!

Bruce Springsteen on Trump: “I couldn't care less what he thinks about me. He's the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he'd be consigned to the trash heap of history."

RETWEET if you stand with @Springsteen!

Buttigieg on Fox News: "When you see an American woman opening the door to her home and on her doorstep finds half a dozen federal agents in tactical gear that is more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire in Afghanistan -- I think most people get that that is wrong."

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Last night, my amendment to repeal ICE’s $75 billion funding increase and reverse cuts to Medicaid won the support of every Senate Democrat — and two Republicans.

That didn’t happen by accident. It happens when people organize and demand change. The struggle continues.

My two 5-year-old clients, members of the El Gamal family, have been detained for almost 8 months. Nightmares every night. Waking up screaming "mama! mama!" These children will be scarred for life.

[Senator Ruben Gallego @SenRubenGallego]

I can’t give a blank check to any agency that has just killed two American citizens in less than one month.

Glenn Close: “I have watched our democracy being systematically disemboweled and torn apart along with the institutions, which in the near past, though never perfect, have stabilized our society and supported the American people. I am outraged and sickened by what is happening under the Trump regime. The cruelty, inhumanity, and arrogance, the voracious corruption, the cowardice, the sickening hypocrisy, the blatant manipulation of facts, and now, the cold-blooded murder of American citizens”

[Barb McQuade @BarbMcQuade]

I have never seen a case where state law enforcement had to file a lawsuit to obtain evidence of a police shooting within its jurisdiction. Until now.

BREAKING: @AOC just obliterated Trump after ICE murdered Alex Pretti.

"Donald Trump is]
accusing a Veteran Affairs ICU nurse (Alex Pretti) of being a terrorist against the United States. A man who was treating services members to our country, who was dedicating his life to serving Americans. Who in his final act on this earth was helping a woman pushed to the ground. And they are calling him a Domestic Terrorist, in order to defend their gross abuse of power, their absolute breaching of the law and in order to precipitate greater conflict."

She is absolutely right!!!

Being armed isn’t a shooting justification in itself. And def not after you’ve been disarmed

Kathy Hochul just called it:

“Kristi Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign as Secretary of Homeland Security or Donald Trump to do the right thing and fire her… No one is above the law. No one.”

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Congress cannot fund a Department of Homeland Security that is unapologetically murdering Americans; running a "baby prison" in Texas for the purpose of traumatizing little kids; acting like the law and truth don't exist.

We swore an oath to uphold the law.

Walz: "I don't care if you are conservative are flying a Donald Trump flag, a libertarian 'Don't Treat on Me,' a Democratic Socialist -- this an inflection point, America. If we cannot all agree that the smearing of an American citizen and besmirching everything they stood for and asking us not to believe what we saw -- someone has to be accountable."

[Democratic Coalition @TheDemCoalition]

Give credit to Rep. Massie for stating the obvious: Trump's offshore slush fund is a blatant constitutional violation, born of the same authoritarian narcissism we've watched for years where he treats public funds as his own personal piggy bank.

The GOP's craven silence speaks volumes - and our media's inability to focus for more than a minute on anything is crippling.

[Amy McGrath @AmyMcGrathKY]

We are about to piss away 80 years of the most effective alliance in world history because of the petulant child in the White House and the stoneless members of Congress unwilling to check him.

Zelensky just said the quiet part out loud:

“Maduro is on trial in New York… but Putin isn’t?”

The world is watching who gets dragged into court… and who gets treated like untouchable royalty.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Woah! Jack Smith just said that Trump intimidated witnesses via death threats!

“I had grave concerns about obstruction of justice in this investigation, specifically with regards to Donald Trump… I was aware during the course of our investigation, of targeting of witnesses, during the course of the conspiracy itself. There were election workers who had their lives turned upside down and received vile death threats because they were targeted by Donald Trump… Donald Trump suggested that one witness should be put to death and also made a statement to the effect of ‘if you come after me, I'm coming after you.’ In my mind, I can't think of a more direct threat.”

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

One year into Trump’s second term, billionaires and corporations are richer than ever while Americans can’t afford food and health care. One year in, Donald Trump and his family have lined their pockets with billions of dollars while young people still can’t afford a home. One year in, our alliances are strained and Americans are less safe because of it. If this is where America is after one year, imagine after three more. We need a President who’s actually focused on working Americans, not just himself and his rich buddies.

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."
