Elias Irizarry, a recent appointee to a counterterrorism job in the Defense Department, was filmed moving through restricted grounds and climbing through a broken window during the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to a Post analysis. https://t.co/d7J9SOjIda

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.

More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.

And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.

Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.

The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.

Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.

We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

Kinda crazy that *moderate* Dems are pushing vouchers so hard when opposing them turns out to be a very effective way to attract GOP votes... https://t.co/IhOeNx9o0V

UPDATE: reportedly ALL Dems were stripped of committees… but white male house Dems are still listed. Only Black reps & women removed. Weird!

Sexton + TN House Republicans not beating the “it’s about race” allegations.

(P.S. It’s all standing committees. We have screenshots.)

They tried to connect me to the Epstein Files but all we found was a few thousand mentions of Donald J. Trump.

[Justin J. Pearson @Justinjpearson]

Speaker of the TN House Cameron Sexton just removed me and every Democrat — and therefore every Black elected official in the state legislature from any committee we served on.

This move strips nearly 2 million Tennesseans from the representation they deserve in TN state leg.

Labor unions on veto: "Shame. Governor Abigail Spanberger today betrayed half a million of Virginia’s public service workers by going back on her campaign promise to support collective bargaining rights for the people who keep our Commonwealth and communities running every day."

The recent Supreme Court decision in Louisiana v. Callais effectively killed the last remaining provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

And it represents the life's work of Chief Justice John Roberts.

Here's how Roberts has been steadily working for more than 40 years to destroy the country's most important civil rights law:

Beautiful weekend for a LIV golf tournament at Trump National in VA. Sure would be a shame if it were ruined by this ad running on heavy rotation on the Golf Channel in the club house and targeting every phone in the vicinity. Oh. Wait. 😈🏴‍☠️
