A federal court just confirmed what everyone already knew:
Trump’s DOJ is illegally using the machinery of government to target his political enemies with bogus investigations.
That’s not justice. It’s corruption. IT MUST END!
Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.
As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.
Go Knicks.

Donald Trump votes by mail. But this week, he signed an Executive Order so you can’t.
Why? Because he is scared of your power, and he is scared of losing the midterms.
Statement by President George W. Bush on Robert Mueller:
"Laura and I are deeply saddened by the loss of Robert Mueller. Bob dedicated his life to public service. As a Marine in Vietnam, he proved he was ready for tough assignments. He earned a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart before returning home to pursue law. In 2001, only one week into the job as the 6th Director of the F.B.I., Bob transitioned the agency mission to protecting the homeland after September 11. He led the agency effectively, helping prevent another terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Laura and I send our heartfelt sympathy to his wife of nearly 60 years, Ann, and the Mueller family."
@TheOrdAmerican@OnlyInBOS Dude, it doesn't matter what political party. It's the insurance companies. All political parties, no matter what one, can have the same exact insurance, and the same exact plan. Also, treatment centers/hospitals can still jack prices up. Take an example from an ER visit.
🚨SCAM ALERT:
Scammers are sending these requests in DMs, asking folks to help them out with a vote by clicking a link. I've gotten 5 or 6 of these from different followers.
DO. NOT. CLICK. THAT. LINK.
They will somehow end up in control of your Twitter account, and that will be that. They will blackmail you in order to get it back.
RT TO PASS IT ON!!!
Yes.
Discord has rolled out their age verification already.

OMG this middle schooler literally just spoke the truth about what’s happening to people of color in this Country at a City Council meeting and crushed it! This girl is brilliant and smarter than most adults! Give it a listen! 👇👇👇
@philosopherleo Sadly, ICE has deported American citizens, Green card holders, Veterans, and individuals here on valid active permits, DACA individuals, and more. It is frustrating, amon other harsher wording I really want to say... 🫂
America is waking up today to learn that Capitol Police turned CIA orchestrated the pipe bombs on January 6th, and the FBI has covered it up for over fours years. I questioned FBI Dir. Wray, ATF Dir. Dettlebach, and FBI asst Dir. (over DC) D’Antuono under oath. All played dumb.
@wiseunclebuck I've heard about the care at the VAs &it makes me feel horrible all our Vets, reserves,& active duty members don't get the damn care & insurance coverage they need. I have many chronic health conditions; disabled,& I've had to fight for my care. I hope things get better for you🎗
@wiseunclebuck So sorry you're going through this. It's difficult for me, too. I head close to the VA near BWH/CHB area by Harvard. Been having insurance problems as well. It's frustrating. I'm not a Vet, but come from a Military family. You once served & deserve better care than you're getting
