This nation was founded on a simple yet profound principle: No one is above the law.
Not the President of the United States.
Not a justice on the Supreme Court of the United States.
So today, I'm calling for three bold reforms to restore trust and accountability to the court and our democracy.
1. No more immunity for crimes a former president committed while in office
2. Term limits for Supreme Court justices
3. A binding code of conduct for the Supreme Court

BREAKING: Convicted felon Donald Trump gets brutal election news as a group of former and current Justice Department officials enthusiastically endorse Kamala Harris for president because the "stakes could not be higher."
And it gets even better...
"The fabric of the nation, the rule of law and the future of the Democracy are at stake in this election," the over 40 officials wrote in their endorsement letter.
The signatures are from men and women who have served under presidents from both parties including former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, former deputy attorneys general Sally Yates, David Ogden, and Jamie Gorelick.
"The stakes could not be higher. Former President Trump presents a grave risk to our country, our global alliances and the future of democracy," they write.
They correctly state that Trump "regularly ignored the rule of law" when he was president, slamming the "unconstitutional Muslim travel ban" and his attempt "to stay in power by defying election results and the will of the American people."
They add that Harris is "the best choice to defeat Donald Trump and lead the nation. As attorney general of California she "oversaw the largest state justice department in the country. She forged strong relationships with law enforcement to keep people safe, fought for American consumers and fought against those preying on the American people."
"We all have had the honor of serving as United States Attorneys, in other leadership roles at the United States Department of Justice and as civic leaders," the letter adds. "We love our country and believe in its infinite possibilities. But this takes work. We urge all Americans to join us in supporting Vice President Harris for President of the United States."
These Justice Department employees firmly believe that Harris, a former prosecutor, will uphold the law in ways that Trump clearly will not. They couldn't be more right.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Kamala Harris will uphold the law better than Trump — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

It was moving, and exhilarating to watch the films today at the Lighthouse made by Dublin Youth Orchestras and Dublin Youth Dance during and after the pandemic. All credit to the DYO team and conductor Fergus Sheil. It's an outstanding artistic achievement 👏 👏
Thank you @wbarrydouglas and John Finucane for reminding me of the beauty of live performance tonight. So glad to be in the audience for the opening of Music in Monkstown 2022 #ClassicalMusic
