On July 2nd, a grand jury in Louisiana handed down a 16-count indictment against Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill, charging her with public intimidation and malfeasance in office.
The very next morning, on July 3rd, the Louisiana Supreme Court issued an emergency stay, effectively pausing the indictment and the criminal case against her.
On top of that, the Republican governor of Louisiana Jeff Landry had already promised her a pardon if she needed.
I don't even have the words to articulate how blatantly corrupt this is. Will our federal government do anything? Probably not. Do average people even know about this? Also, probably not.
Powerful elites can now just get their criminal cases quickly halted by a state's Supreme Court without any major outrage or pushback.
This is a huge scandal, so the lack of public knowledge about stories like this is very alarming and disturbing to me. It implies that blatant corruption in broad daylight is being normalized.
Lock this thug up!
Question for Republican Congress members: How is it that we have money to guild horses in gold leaf, but not enough for fruits & veggies for children?
#BREAKING: Psaki: “Multiple outlets are reporting tonight that Donald Trump has essentially wiped out what is left of the US Election Assistance Commission that is a bipartisan commission that helps states and local officials run elections. They certify election equipment, they distribute federal election funds, they maintain the national mail voter registration form, they basically do a whole bunch of things that help elections across the country run smoothly. But as we have seen through his actions over and over and over again, Donald Trump does not want elections in this country to run smoothly, quite the opposite.”🤦♀️
I have no idea what the law says, but Governor Beshear should just call the special election anyway and force Republicans to show some proof of life for McConnell. That’s what they would do in the same situation.
“He raped me.”
“Donald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.”
“She was found with her head ‘blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.”
Just because Trump refused to release the Epstein files, doesn’t mean the Republicans who protect him don’t know what’s in them.
Democrats cannot let people forget that it was the Republicans who cut their healthcare. Millions are struggling or without insurance, and as Rick says on MSNOW, the GOP is to blame.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a father of three. He lived in Houston for 35 years.
On his way to work, ICE agents shot and killed him. His family learned from a video posted online.
There must be accountability. We need a full, independent investigation.
There is absolutely NO reason to slam that boy's head on stone. He was already restrained.
There was NO reason to point their tasers at people observing. They weren't obstructing.
These ICE thugs have to be brought to justice!
Ken Paxton just denied our public information request for the Hoffman Files.
Adam Hoffman — an admitted child molester — should be in prison, but Ken Paxton let him off the hook. Texans deserve to know why.
We don’t need any more pedophile protectors in our government.
UPDATE: Colorado Republicans have now officially nominated Victor Marx — who was caught blatantly lying about rescuing women & children👇🏽 (among other things)— for GOVERNOR😕
“What did I say?” 🤷🏼
Tonight, I was proud to stand with so many Houstonians to demand a full, transparent, & independent investigation into the #ICE shooting of a beloved husband and father.
His name is Lorenzo Salgado Araujo.
We will not forget.

I have been closely monitoring reports about yesterday’s ICE shooting, and what I’ve seen is alarming. Let me be clear: the targeting of our communities is making us less safe, not more safe.
Texans, and all Americans, deserve full transparency about this shooting, including the release of body camera and dashcam footage, and I join the calls for a transparent investigation that includes state Rangers to begin as quickly as possible.
I interviewed the only woman in the race to replace Graham Platner as the Democratic nominee for the key Maine Senate race against Susan Collins late last summer. If you're trying to learn more about the candidates, it's a great portrait of the current Sec'y of State, who ran neck to neck with Collins in a recent flash poll. Read here: https://t.co/sBkRFYnMWE
The following 3 House Republicans are currently being accused of assault or sexual harassment:
Cory Mills
Chuck Edwards
Max Miller
Are you going to call for their resignations, @GOP?
Epstein survivors launch a campaign against confirming Blanche as AG. All credit to them. Can the Blanche confirmation become a referendum on his coverup of Epstein?
