Joy Behar: “I’m so tired of Donald Trump, I can barely talk about him anymore. I am so sick of his stupidity, his dishonor, the way he talks about people, the way he presents himself to children, the way he curses and swears about people, the fact he’s so incompetent at what he does, the fact these Republicans stick by him no matter what. Why are Americans putting up with this?”
50 people have died in ICE custody since Trump returned to office.
These private, for-profit detention prisons are rife with medical neglect, abuse, and unsafe living conditions. It’s time to pass my Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act to stop these abuses immediately.
BREAKING: GAUNTLET THROWN! Gavin Newsom's top lawyer demands that acting Attorney General Todd Blanche investigate Trump after the Justice Department began probing the governor and his wife.
This is a brilliant countermove...
“Calling this investigation a fishing expedition is actually too generous. If your commitment to rooting out corruption were serious, the enormous resources that you have poured into this investigation looking for a crime that does not exist would be focused elsewhere," legal affairs secretary David Sapp wrote to Blanche.
Not content to leave it at that, Sapp also requested immediate access to “all documents and records including but not limited to memoranda, emails, text messages, and Signal messages” related to the sham investigation into the governor.
He added that Blanche should instead turn his attention to "the open-air corruption market that the White House has become.” The fact that there is a tradition of not prosecuting a sitting president is “no excuse for ignoring open and notorious corruption by his family and those around him.”
“The United States Department of Justice selectively leaked uncorroborated details about ongoing investigative matters involving the Governor and First Partner, so it should not be a problem for you to confirm whether US DOJ has opened any investigations into the instances of apparent public corruption detailed above involving the President and his allies,” concluded Sapp.
On Monday, Newsom revealed that the Justice Department has begun investigating him and his wife in a blatant attempt to waylay his possible presidential run. It represents just the latest instance of Trump weaponizing the DOJ — a once hallowed nonpartisan institution — to go after his political enemies. It's the kind of thing we once believed could only happen in tinpot dictatorships.
"He isn't coming after me because of mean tweets, but because I am considering running for President," Newsom stated. "He hates that I consistently call him out. He is simply the most corrupt President in American history. We have nothing to hide Mr. President, come after me. I am not going anywhere. The country is watching."
Of course, the chances of Blanche actually turning around and investigating his boss are precisely zero. Blanche is a MAGA hatchet man to the core. He'd sooner reduce the DOJ's credibility to ashes than actually do his job on behalf of the American people.
That said, this messaging from Newsom's camp is incredibly important. We can't allow this White House's corruption to become normalized. Just because Trump and his cronies refuse to stop breaking the law doesn't mean we should stop calling it out!
Please ❤️ and share if you'd gladly vote for Gavin Newsom!
The testimonies I heard from families who have faced the violence & trauma of Trump’s mass deportation agenda were harrowing.
I heard from families who lost their breadwinners.
I heard from children who were traumatized by the absence of their loved ones.
I heard from mothers who were sick about their young children being thrown into cold bare cells, and from wives terrified about never seeing their husbands again.
I heard from a Chelsea father who was abducted weeks after meeting his newborn daughter & spent months in detention before being unlawfully deported.
The violence, separation, & trauma that this lawless agency is perpetuating cannot continue.
Just last week, Republicans in Congress passed a no-string-attached $70 BILLION dollar check to ICE, giving them free-rein to continue invading & terrorizing our communities.
We are dealing with an authoritarian regime & a rogue agency full of glorified bullies with no accountability for their actions.
That is why I have introduced multiple bills that would allow us to prosecute agents for their crimes & for the pain, suffering, & trauma they inflict in our communities.
My position remains unchanged: ICE is an agency beyond reform, and it must be abolished.
Hey MAGA,
You have to agree that this petty shit, trump covering up the name of the Kennedy Center with a tarp since he had to take his own name down, really makes him look like a little bitch.
A tiny, whiny, pathetic little bitch.
To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years.
I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.
The Obamas unveil their first-ever commissioned portrait together, painted by Njideka Akunyili Crosby, in the lobby of the new Obama Presidential Library.
MAGA Republicans know the only way they can win is by rigging the congressional map.
The American people will soon get the chance to throw every single extremist out of office.
Remember in November.
