This is a Justice Jackson, Kagan, and Sotomayor appreciation post.
Thank you for your just and righteous voices and your fierce defense of our democracy. ❤️
This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.
A Syrian billionaire needed U.S. sanctions lifted so he could cash in on $12 billion in reconstruction contracts.
In an attempt to influence American foreign policy, he proposed a Trump-branded golf course, cut Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump into a multibillion-dollar real estate deal for a resort in Albania, and had someone physically deliver a stone engraved with the Trump family crest to a Republican Member of Congress with instructions to take it to the White House to get the President's attention.
Trump threw his weight behind repealing the sanctions. They were lifted. The contracts are moving, the Trump family’s deals are expanding, and not a single Washington Republican is willing to say a word about any of it.
This is a corruption of everything the office of the presidency is supposed to stand for, and the American people deserve to know about it.

🚨 I have the FBI document. Case 31E-NY-3027571. August 7, 2019.
A woman describes being introduced to Trump by Epstein at age 13-15.
Trump cleared the room. Said “let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be.”
She fought back. He struck her.
She told the FBI she heard Trump and Epstein discuss the blackmail operation together.
She asked agents to keep her safe: “Throughout my life his people have found me. Have kept tabs on me.”
This document was illegally withheld from Congress.
A war started the week these files dropped.
Read it yourself. DOJ. FBI Case 31E-NY-3027571.
Statements from Colin and Sophie Hortman, children of Mark and Melissa Hortman, after President Trump reposted false claims about their parents’ death.
“I ask President Trump to please consider the pain and sadness we have faced,” Sophie said, asking him to remove it.
A must-read message from Colin and Sophie Hortman, Mark and Melissa's children, about the untruthful conspiracy video President Trump shared yesterday:
I sat through Jack Smith’s testimony, and I’d urge everyone to watch these clips. Republicans tried to rewrite history and shield Trump from the consequences of his crimes, but Special Counsel Smith had the law on his side.
No wonder they tried burying this on New Year’s Eve.
This is David Gentile. He put together a $1.6B Ponzi type investment scheme that would have made Bernie Madoff blush. Cops, teachers, farmers and other hard working folks lost their retirement.
Trump commuted his sentence and wiped all his restitution to victims.
Not Somali.
@mariashriver Remember, Maria, this is just to distract us from the more serious crimes of his that are on the verge of being proved. As your cousin Kerry reportedly said- his name can be scraped off as soon as he’s gone. Let’s keep the focus on the issues that could make him be gone faster.
The White House has ordered Treasury Department employees not to share pictures of the White House demolition according to the Wall Street Journal.
It would be a shame if this picture went viral then.
🚨NEW: The Trump Administration pressured Eisenhower Presidential Library Director Todd Arrington to resign after he refused to hand over a sword to Trump owned by President Eisenhower as a gift for King Charles.
RETWEET to thank Arrington for standing up for America!
This is Capitol Police Officer Caroline Edwards. She was knocked unconscious by Donald Trump's mob on January 6th, but later continued to fight for our democracy. She is an American hero.
RETWEET to thank Officer Edwards for her bravery!
Capitol Police Officer Michael Fanone was tased on January 6th until he went into cardiac arrest and his heart stopped. Donald Trump pardoned his assaulters and called them “patriots.”
RETWEET if you stand with Officer Fanone against Trump and the GOP!
This is Navy Commander and physician Janelle Marra. Pete Hegseth just fired her for providing health care to LGBTQ service members.
RETWEET if you stand with Commander Marra against Hegseth!
PRO-TIP: If you're the jerk who snatched Majchrzak's cap out of the child's hand I'd get out in front of this. Find out how to get the hat back to the kid and make a public apology. This won't end well unless you make it right quickly.
