I’m very very excited for tomorrow, when we will find out which members of Congress embrace the idea that Trump can telepathically declassify documents.
Jamie Raskin just gave a 2 minute speech in which he seemingly unloaded all of his bottled-up rage against the lawlessness that has taken place America. He railed against the dangerous conspiracies, the baseless election lies, and the blatant crime-cover ups. It’s worth a watch:
Friend of mine, retired NY real estate guy, had a tough court battle with Trump many years ago. Roy Cohn represented Trump. At a key point, Cohn came to my friend and threatened to have my friend’s young son kidnapped if my friend didn’t give up. My friend fought on and won.
TO TRUMP SUPPORTERS: That uncomfortable awkwardness you've been feeling lately that you can't quite describe, nor seem to be able to blame on anything in particular - that's called cognitive dissonance. You feel it because - pay attention - you feel it because you've been played.
Hi 👋. House Intelligence Committee Chair here.
Trump just claimed he could declassify things by saying “‘it’s declassified,’ even by thinking about it.”
I know he says he’s a big “thinker” and all, but that’s not how any of this works. Not by any stretch of the imagination.
NOW: writer E. Jean Carroll will sue Donald Trump for sexual battery under the state’s new “survivors” law—and her attorneys want to question Trump under oath.
Trump can try to go to the US Supreme Court but it's a loser every day of the week. He just got obliterated by the Court of Appeals. Take a look at this, from the unanimous court (including 2 of 3 who were Trump appointees)
There’s no clearer illustration that the Republican Party is fundamentally ANTI-DEMOCRACY than 95% of their representatives voting AGAINST a bill to PREVENT STEALING ELECTIONS.
As ususal @RepRaskin is 100% right. The Republicans had every chance to have a bipartisan investigation, a 9/11 style commission, every chance for subpoena rights and vetos and they shut it all down because DJT didn't want them looking into 1/6. But now that they have...hoo boy!
If it's such a "political witch hunt", why would the Trump family take the 5th so many times and then make a big settlement offer to avoid prosecution last week?
Last week, I signed an executive order that directs the federal government to ensure biotechnologies invented in the United States of America are made in the United States of America.
To be clear, the Appeals Court's ruling allows the DOJ to continue using classified materials seized from Mar-a-Lago so as to advance BOTH their national security review AND their criminal investigation.
BREAKING: DOJ wins at 11th Circuit, staying Judge Cannon’s order as to the 100 classified documents.
DOJ now gets back full access to the classified documents and can use them for criminal investigation and national security review.
BREAKING: per @jamiegangel - a source close to @January6thCmte says they have reached an agreement with GINNI THOMAS and will interview her in the next few weeks.
