Adam Hoffman raped his son’s best friend for 3 years
First-degree felony. Life without parole.
Ken Paxton’s office gutted it to 60 days. He walked free after 30.
No sex offender registration. His record scrubbed clean.
I think every single person in America has a stake in being very loudly against this.
BREAKING: NOT SO FAST! Federal judge reopens Trump’s IRS case and demands to know if her court was defrauded.
Judge Kathleen Williams has had enough.
In a brief but devastating order Friday, the federal judge in Miami reopened Donald Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS — a case Trump had voluntarily dismissed last week specifically to avoid her scrutiny — and ordered Trump's lawyers to explain by June 12th why she shouldn't find that the entire scheme was a fraud perpetrated against her court.
The judge's language was pointed and precise. She said she wanted to investigate "grievous allegations" that the deal to resolve the case was "premised on deception." She asserted that she was "empowered to investigate serious misconduct" and demanded answers to two devastating questions: was "the court the victim of a fraud," and did Trump collude with his own government to settle the case specifically "to avoid judicial scrutiny"?
The answer to both questions, based on everything that has already been reported, appears to be yes.
Judge Williams had been circling this case for weeks before Trump pulled it. She had openly questioned how Trump could sue an agency he controls, with government lawyers who answer to him, producing a settlement negotiated with officials he appointed. She ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually adversaries or secretly colluding. Trump dismissed the case the day before those briefs were due.
Then, after she closed it, the Justice Department released not one but two extraordinary agreements — a $1.776 billion fund to compensate Trump's allies, and a separate one-page document permanently barring the IRS from ever auditing Trump, his family, or his businesses. Agreements that had apparently been negotiated while the case was supposedly active before her court.
Judge Williams cited the New York Times report revealing that the IRS had prepared a 25-page memo outlining strong defenses against Trump's suit — defenses the Justice Department never raised in court, never filed, never mentioned.
Her order came directly in response to the filing by 35 former federal judges — appointed by presidents of both parties — who called the scheme a fraud and urged her to reopen the case.
She listened.
"We stand ready to work with the court as it investigates this matter," said Norman Eisen, who represented the former judges.
Trump tried to flip the table before she could see the cards. She just put them back on the table.
If you can’t wait to see the Justice Department try to explain itself, please like and share this post everywhere.
Republicans are out of touch.
Locking up people who committed no crimes. Separating families. Paying a private prison over $1 billion in taxpayer dollars to do it.

Congratulations to Rep Joyce Beatty Attorney Eisen and DDA on winning the Kennedy Center case! “Both the renaming & the closure of the Kennedy Center are enjoined”
ALERT: @KatiePhang files for preliminary injunction to demand release of more of the Epstein Files withheld by Trump Admin
Her filing asks court to order Todd Blanche:
"must unredact the names of Epstein’s associates in eight particularly odious emails"
"must unredact the names of potential co-conspirators in two internal Dept of Justice documents"
"must produce a set of illegally withheld documents from an FBI investigation into allegations about President Donald Trump"

🚨 Ken Paxton was indicted on 3 felony securities-fraud charges.
He wasn't acquitted.
The case dragged on for nearly 9 years before ending in a deal requiring community service, ethics training, and restitution.
Then:
• 8 of his own top deputies reported him to the FBI
• The Texas House impeached him 121-23
• Whistleblowers accused him of using his office to help a political donor tied to his affair
• He sought a taxpayer-funded settlement after those whistleblowers were fired
At some point, it stops being "one allegation."
It becomes a pattern.
A pattern documented by grand juries, whistleblowers, impeachment proceedings, court filings, and his own negotiated settlements.
Trump went against Nancy Mace who humiliated herself for years defending him and endorsed Pamela Evette.
Why??
Because Nancy Mace called for the release of the Epstein files.
BREAKING: An Epstein survivor is now demanding Pam Bondi testify UNDER OATH, ON VIDEO, with the FULL transcript released publicly.
And honestly, that should not even be controversial.
Because right now the public is looking at:
- closed-door interviews
- no cameras
- no oath
- DOJ lawyers in the room
- selective refusals to answer questions
- and transcripts reviewed before release
Meanwhile survivors are asking for the most basic thing possible:
Transparency.
Their argument is simple:
accountability cannot only exist when it’s politically convenient.
🚨‼️ Breaking News! 🚨 Huge win in the courts today to stop Trump’s illegal DOJ slush fund. Here with Skye Perryman of @DemocracyFwd who sued to stop the fund—to explain. ⬇️

South Carolina’s failure to redraw its congressional map to dismantle the state’s lone majority-Black district is not a small victory – it is a titanic one, @marceelias said.
“At least in that one state, for this one election, Black voters will continue to be able to elect their candidate of choice.”
Rep. Cohen just dropped these 6 impeachment articles on Chief Justice Roberts:
1- Turned SCOTUS into a partisan GOP election machine.
2- Enabled minority rule for the powerful.
3- Sold out equal justice for the rich.
4- Made presidents above the law.
5- Issued arbitrary rulings that trash the Constitution.
6-Ethics violations galore while his wife cashed in millions. Even the "highest court" looks bought.
We also need one for Alito. Thank you.
Nancy Mace kissed Trump ass 99.99% of the time. Her crime? Wanting justice for Epsteins victims.
Trump has now punished EVERY Republican that wouldn't aid his cover up.
Maga can no longer deny they support a pedophile.
The GOP is the ‘Gang of Pedophiles’ and pedophile protectors. Jonathan Peternel age 24, the son of Indiana megachurch Republican pastor, Nathan Peternel, pleaded guilty to child exploitation and possession of child sexual abuse material. I can guarantee, he learned from his own daddy. https://t.co/w62ak9KvaC
I KNOW that Biden ordered a CIA election audit in 12/2024! Right afterward, he placed sanctions on Russia and Iran for "election meddling." CIA whistleblowers say it showed MASSIVE RIGGING from multiple sources, and Harris WON! All Democrats need to do is to get that REPORT!!
WTF is wrong with these men.Kevin Etherington a former Oklahoma MAGA district attorney was sentenced to 20 years in prison for 153 child sexual abuse files featuring prepubescent children.
