Fed prosec. moved 11-25-24 to dismiss the criminal charges vs Donald Trump that accused him of plotting to overturn the 2020 election and to abandon the classified documents case, citing Justice Dept. policy that says sitting presidents cannot face criminal prosecution. (per AP)

LBJ breaks ground for JFK's national memorial-- the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts--December 1964, a year after President Kennedy's assassination (Robert Kennedy stands in rear):

@proud_native_am Hi!

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

Reminder to those who apparently don't know: the Kennedy Center was financially robust, with many private donors, before this administration undermined it, chased out the National Symphony, Washington Opera and others. Trump has forced it into bankruptcy out of sheer vanity.

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

We cannot let history forget what happens when a federal government uses law enforcement to terrorize innocent people.

And let me say to any agent or administration official who thinks we've forgotten or that their cruelty will go unchecked: Illinois remembers.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

Other news organizations should leave the White House. They can of course still cover the administration--almost none of their coverage depends on being there physically. But they shouldn't stay there, raising their hands in the briefing room, as if it's business as usual.

The greatest danger is not realizing the greatest danger. I wrote "The Conspiracy to End America: Five Ways My Old Party Is Driving Democracy to Autocracy" as a plea to grasp the true danger facing America.

I hope you will consider pre-ordering to help spread this warning. https://t.co/PsKM39m54Y

@POTUS that's a lie, Reagan was not capped at 86%. Gallup measured his Republican approval at 94% in 1984, 92% in 1986, and 93% in 1988. George W. Bush went even higher, hitting 98% and 99% approval among Republicans after 9/11.

You are in the low 80s with brain dead Republicans.

Is she right?

[Sen. Elissa Slotkin @SenatorSlotkin]

For months, we have known that Chinese companies are helping the Iranian military target and attempt to kill U.S. troops. New reporting now shows that this support from China may have directly contributed to the deaths of American servicemembers.

The provision of targeting information by China to help Iran kill American servicemembers should be something even President Trump cannot tolerate. https://t.co/o7kMtUC2gg

[Caring Guy💙🇺🇸🌈✌🏻 @caringguy1957]

WTAF? This administration has been lying to us about how many have died as a result of this war. @POTUS and @SecWar have killed 22 service members.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Awesome.

[Sen. Elissa Slotkin @SenatorSlotkin]

As always, watch what the President does, not what he says. If the President of BYD comes with the Chinese President to the White House next week, we can only assume there are deals afoot to allow Chinese cars to be imported, or Chinese companies are being invited to set up shop in the U.S. President Trump said that he would welcome Chinese car companies as recently as last week.

That would be a terrible outcome for Michigan and the 1.2 million jobs in our state associated with the auto industry. The Chinese have been working for years to get that first foothold into the U.S. market.

Chinese car companies are propped up by the Chinese government and once they they get the green-light to enter the U.S., they will undercut our manufacturers and suppliers, wreak havoc on our industry, and take our jobs. https://t.co/XXsctAbTwI

Trump has made many “historically foolish” decisions, but going to war with Iran is right at the top.

Yesterday, we lost a cherished member of our family.

We got Sunny at the start of our second term in the White House, and all of us – including our first dog, Bo – immediately fell in love. We also had trouble keeping up with her, for Sunny was a force of nature. Athletic and full of boundless energy, she leapt over the hedges on the South Lawn like they weren’t even there, chasing squirrels, birds and anything else that moved. And whereas the way to Bo’s heart usually involved a treat, Sunny was more interested in having us run around with her, roll on the floor with her, or have her belly rubbed for as long as we were willing.

She loved the girls, even if they were pestering her when she was napping. She loved our team, and would often follow them around, helping them on the job. She was fiercely protective of Bo, who she rightly sensed wasn’t always as alert and attentive as she was. She had her eccentricities: other than Bo, she preferred people to dogs; she was a loud and sloppy drinker; and despite being a Portuguese Water Dog, she hated getting wet.

But as far as our family was concerned, she was pretty much perfect, and for thirteen years, she would be by our side – always loyal, always sweet, always ready for adventure, still fiery and gorgeous till the very end of her days.

We will miss her terribly, and imagine she’s with her big brother now, making sure he’s okay.

18 U.S. Code § 592 makes it illegal to deploy armed federal agents to polling places.

It's a crime punishable by up to 5 years.

This is a massive mistake. The Chesapeake Bay plays a critical role in Virginia's economy and seafood industries, and we must take steps to protect the waters and shores of the region. I'm going to do everything I can to fight this.

When Donald Trump tried to throw out our votes after the 2020 election, I met him and his allies in court 43 times to protect your right to vote. He went 0-43 — I went 43-0.

Six years later, Donald Trump is still trying to undermine our democracy – and we're still beating him and protecting our free, fair, safe, and secure elections.
