“It's against the law for the president to in effect sue himself—and then settle for a huge sum. The court has the power to put a stop to these shenanigans and should do so. We are proud to represent over 90 members of Congress in making that request,” said Matt Platkin, @PlatkinLLP, and @NormEisen, Democracy Defenders Action, co-counsel for amici.
When a federal agency tasked with protecting all Americans decides to mandate a specific religious worldview, it ceases to protect democracy and begins to threaten it.
You can't sue yourself. You can't settle with yourself. And you can't hijack a legitimate victim compensation fund and turn it into a taxpayer-funded payoff scheme for January 6 insurrectionists. Congress never authorized this and we won't let it stand.
Source after source told 60 Minutes they fear today’s insider trading scandal about military secrets is tomorrow’s national security scandal. If market-watchers can spot irregular trades, surely enemies can, too. And they’ll make their war plans accordingly. https://t.co/EwO84oHzs8
Donald Trump now wants a $1.7 BILLION slush fund to pay the January 6 insurrectionists and his MAGA allies.
This is an incredible level of corruption that YOU, the taxpayer, would be paying for.
Alligator Alcatraz is closing after one year and wasting $1B to house 1400 immigrants. That's an eye-popping $714,285 per occupant. Everything this administration does is filled with fraud and waste. https://t.co/3DoG1YTjTh
You could start by walking down the hall. See why your boss keeps pardoning people convicted of money laundering, wire fraud, tax evasion, and securities fraud.

Trump didn’t just pardon his followers who stormed the U.S. Capitol.
He’s now set them up for payments through a slush fund he created to reward his allies—out of your tax dollars.
You could not make this up.
“We spotted nine Polymarket accounts, all connected, who made, collectively,$2.4 million betting almost exclusively on U.S. military operations,” says Nicolas Vaiman, co-founder of the small data analytics firm Bubblemaps.
“And now here's the crazy part: 98% win rate.” https://t.co/T79aYM48ZI
@TheJusticeDept So he was both Plaintiff AND Defendant and "negotiated" a settlement with himself (i.e. DOJ) to fund his political allies to weaponize non-profits against everyday Americans with taxpayer dollars, right?
@SeanParnellASW@FBIDirectorKash This is a GRAVE. Will you be sending @Kash_Patel to dance through Arlington Cemetery next? My grandfather served on the USS Alabama. If his ship had sunk, would you be swimming over that, too, for fun? Shameless and Classless through and through. This is disgusting.
A historic Black cemetery in Palmetto, Florida, was vandalized, with graves damaged and “Trump” and “DeSantis” spray-painted across tombstones. Our ancestors deserve dignity in life and in death. Desecrating sacred burial grounds is hateful, painful, and unacceptable. We must protect Black history and honor the families impacted by this cruelty.
