I’ve now talked with two people who were in the room. The devastating effect of Trump’s remarks can’t be overstated. Most had understood Trump was up to no good, but the nakedness of his threats still took many by surprise. We’re in uncharted territory.
ICE is out of control. How do we know? Because we now have police officers taking the unprecedented step of publicly calling out the misconduct of ICE.
BREAKING: The House Oversight Committee has just voted to hold Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt for failing to testify, despite their offer to testify publicly instead of behind closed doors.
MEANWHILE, Reps. Jim Jordan, Scott Perry, Andy Biggs, Kevin McCarthy, and Mo Brooks refused to comply with subpoenas to testify.
And Pam Bondi is in violation of the law that she has to submit the Epstein files... since a month ago.
Make it make sense.
If you're wondering why Pam Bondi hasn't been held accountable for defying our lawful subpoena, Oversight Republicans just REFUSED to hold her in contempt.
They're more interested in pursuing political enemies and bending the knee to Trump than getting justice for survivors.
Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.
This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.
Sixteen years ago, the Supreme Court decided that corporations are people under the First Amendment.
Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.
Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.
🔥🚨JUST IN: Republicans on the Oversight Committee just voted NO on holding Pam Bondi and the DOJ in contempt of Congress for violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
So they’re not “protecting kids.” They’re protecting the cover-up.
Five stories from just the last 24 hours:
1. Minnesota police chief says ICE has been unconstitutionally stopping & pulling guns on *his own* off-duty officers who are brown/black.
2. The Social Security Administration referred two DOGE employees for Hatch Act violations after discovering contacts with a political group seeking SSA data to overturn election results.
3. Canada struck a historic trade deal with China, declaring them more "predictable" than the U.S., then its PM warned of a rupture with the U.S. and the "end of the rules-based international order."
4. Trump quietly pardoned a slew of more white collar criminals, almost all of whom were convicted of fraud.
5. NYTimes released an editorial documenting how Trump has made $1.4 billion (with a "b") dollars off the presidency in his first year in office -- just on the publicly documented trades and transactions.
That's legitimately 24 hours of news, and it's just scratching the surface.
Most countries and more US citizens are beginning to realize Trump is a rudderless Grandiose Narcissist with serious daddy issues. Every day we see more of Trump’s complete lack of empathy. Unfortunately, we also see more pandering sycophants, feeding his out of control need for admiration, control, and self importance.
