"In his obstinate defense of the Senate filibuster and his refusal to vote for the For the People Act, Manchin has revealed his real hand on the issue — and it is embarrassingly weak."
We The People need Sen. Manchin and his colleagues to pass S.R. 1 now!

This is why we need an independent task force within the DOJ to #InvestigateTrump and his associates for potential crimes. If it turns out that Volker lied to Congress during the first impeachment trial, then he must be held accountable.

In just one presidential term Donald Trump displayed an unprecedented level of corruption that should serve as a wake up call to every American.
In order to deter future wannabe tyrants, we must #HoldTrumpAccountable and prosecute if necessary.

NEW REPORT:
Twenty-four new laws have been passed in 14 states this year that will allow state legislatures to “politicize, criminalize, and interfere in election administration.”
Democracy is in danger and Congress must act now to save it! #ForThePeople

Trump was so worried about reports connecting him to Russia that his DOJ, under Bill Barr, secretly obtained phone data on two sitting Congressmen, including records from family members.
AG Garland's DOJ needs to #InvestigateTrump + his associates ASAP.

“This appalling politicization of the Department of Justice by Donald Trump and his sycophants must be investigated immediately by both the DOJ Inspector General and Congress.” — @SenSchumer & @SenatorDurbin. Barr & Sessions must be forced to testify.

"In his calls for bipartisanship, Manchin is effectively giving Senate Republicans a veto on whether Washington should respond to an offensive against voting rights that red-state Republicans are advancing."

#OnTheAir Counterpoint airs Mondays 8-10 pm ET https://t.co/OTsd2kQzVZ 89.5 FM, Bgpt,#CT: Matt Gardner of @iteptweets on IRS leak story billionaires pay little in taxes; @JohnBonifaz of @FSFP on reports that #Trump#DOJ spied on journalists and House Democrats. Listen tonight!
Friendly reminder that Donald Trump's mental state is not conducive to the maintenance of a functioning democracy. He is still a colossal threat to the republic.
It's time for the DOJ to create an independent task force and #HoldTrumpAccountable.

🛑 Presidential Corruption:
The @BostonGlobe Editorial Board recently published a new editorial, as part of a series, on the importance of holding former President Trump accountable for federal crimes he has committed.
Read it below. #HoldTrumpAccountable

One cannot treat the Trump years like they were comparable to any other U.S. presidency. The unprecedented corruption exhibited by that administration requires a reasonable adherence to the rule of law.
AG Garland's DOJ needs to step up and do its job.

The Constitution does not specify the number of justices who sit on the U.S. Supreme Court at a given time. Congress has the power to restore legitimacy and balance to the Court. #ExpandTheCourt

MUST-READ by @jentaub, @FSFP Board Member. I hope AG Garland reads this as well and acts accordingly to ensure that no one, not even a former (lawless) president is above the law.
