@JamesComer is a hypocrite with ZERO credibility to conduct legitimate oversight. The real James Comer is a conspiratorial partisan with no interest in governing or prioritizing the real issues that matter to the American people.

OMG -- Fox News carries Raskin's opening statement during a hearing where he highlights the fraud that was Trump University and contrasts it with the SPLC
When presidents use law enforcement to target perceived enemies, everyone’s freedoms are at risk. The prosecution of the Southern Poverty Law Center raises serious questions about whether justice is being applied fairly—or used as a political weapon.
https://t.co/p3PEDGTkb5
Rep. Raskin: Todd Blanche has abandoned that commitment to protecting the rights of all Americans... He has directed the DOJ to attack the SPLC while, alongside the President, aiding and abetting right-wing extremists who commit acts of violence against racial minorities.
Rep. Raskin: Consider Trump University — a scam from top to bottom. More than 9,000 victims joined three separate class-action lawsuits... It had no real curriculum, no real professors, no actual campus, and no way to deliver on its extravagant promises to students.
Former DOJ official: Todd Blanche has demonstrated that he is willing to blow through all of the institutional guardrails at the Justice Department in service of the political agenda of Donald Trump.
Pay attention. Something dark might be coming.
The murder of Charlie Kirk could have united Americans to confront political violence. Instead, Trump and his anti-democratic radicals look to be readying a campaign to destroy dissent.
1/ Here's what's happening.
House Republicans staged a sham hearing on free speech in Europe while ignoring Trump’s authoritarian crackdown at home — deploying troops, purging agencies, seizing at the Fed, and weaponizing the FBI. They’re running cover, not checking abuse of power.

RM @RepRaskin explains that Republicans’ fixation on Europe’s online safety laws is all a distraction. When Trump is banning books and detaining students for exercising their First Amendment Rights, the Republicans need to start looking closer to home.
🚨 BREAKING: Congressional Integrity Project formally demands House Republicans investigate their own WinRed platform after GOP accepted THOUSANDS in illegal campaign contributions during the 2024 election.

As @KyleHerrig put it: “Americans witnessed a failed attempt to weaponize government power against groups that serve vulnerable communities, while Republican power brokers continue to gorge themselves at the federal trough.” That says it all.
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s sham hearing spectacularly backfired. Her handpicked witnesses—including a hate group leader under DOJ investigation for fraud—exposed the massive hypocrisy of Republicans attacking nonprofits while their allies pocket billions in federal subsidies.
One of Greene’s key witnesses runs a hate group under DOJ investigation for defrauding COVID relief. Another criticized green orgs while his Koch-linked network got $750M in subsidies. Yet they claim to care about “fiscal responsibility”? Please.
.@RepCasar: “This hearing is not about taking on nonprofits that are going 'against the national interest' or who are 'extreme’ — this is all about trying to shut down nonprofits who might share political views that are different from the President of the United States.”
.@Rep_Stansbury quickly has the witnesses at Marjorie Taylor Greene’s sham DOGE hearing admit their true colors: Project 2025 advisors, conspiracy theorists, and dark money operatives.
.@RepRobertGarcia: “You called Social Security a Ponzi scheme, which we know Elon Musk has also done.”
Republican witness Daniel Turner: “100%”
Garcia: “I’m glad you admitted it.”
