Let’s be clear about what the Trump Administration just tried to do.
Trump’s Justice Department issued subpoenas to force reporters from The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal to testify under oath before a grand jury. Not because those reporters did anything wrong, but because they reported the truth about this Administration. Trump wanted to know who talked.
One of those reporters, Ellen Nakashima of the Washington Post, covers Trump’s intelligence officials and the Iran war. Both outlets fought back in court, and the government backed down.
This Administration has also raided a reporter’s home, threatened to revoke TV stations’ broadcast licenses over coverage it didn’t like, and made it easier to secretly search journalists’ phone records. This is not a president who believes in accountability. It is a president who is trying to make sure no one can report on what he’s doing.
A free press exists to hold power accountable. That is precisely why this Administration keeps trying to undermine it.

Imagine that Joe Biden‘s name was in the Epstein files, he was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein, and he hired his personal attorney to be deputy Attorney General. He then had his Deputy Attorney General meet with Ghislaine Maxwell and offered immunity. Would you believe a word that Maxwell supposedly says, MAGA?
The Biden administration sued Navy Federal Credit Union and got them to return $80M in illegal overdraft fees to veterans.
The Trump administration moved to dismiss the case so the servicemen and women will receive nothing. https://t.co/jdgvN52OdF
Maybe instead of selling off public lands we judt pass a bill instead to ban private equity from owning single family homes or duplexes or townhomes and then see how many homes are available?
If anyone thinks national forest lands will become affordable housing you're fooling yourself. Nobody will build affordable housing in wild areas where there aren't jobs. This is a government transfer of land to wealthy people.
Tell the truth.
🚨 BREAKING: The largest public lands sell-off in modern U.S. history is being buried in the fine print of a Senate budget bill.
Over 120 million acres; wilderness, forests, sacred tribal sites, wildlife corridors, all up for grabs.
And here’s the kicker:
-No hearings
-No public input
-No guarantee any of it goes to affordable housing
Local governments and Tribal Nations aren’t even given first shot.
Instead, they’re forced to compete with Wall Street developers and lose.
This is not housing policy.
It’s a land liquidation scheme dressed up as reform; a Trojan horse for billionaires.
They’re selling off your public lands to fund tax cuts and fossil fuel profits.
And unless stopped, it sets the precedent that every wild place in America is now for sale.
As an ER doc, I see patients rationing meds every day. We need lower drug prices — full stop. That’s why I support Medicare negotiating directly with pharma.
But let’s talk about Trump’s new “Most Favored Nation” executive order on drug prices. 🧵1/7
Last week: Trump Org unveils new $5.5B golf resort project in Qatar.
Today: ABC reports that Qatar is set to gift Trump a $400M luxury Boeing 747-8 jet.
Someone please explain to me how this is okay, but without the gaslighting
NBC reports that, shockingly, during his latest Moscow pilgrimage Witkoff met with Putin and his two negotiators alone and without his own interpreter, relying - in breach of protocol - on a locally present one. https://t.co/nutD8D3knJ. However, this seems half the problem (1/n)
