I'm a former federal prosecutor who handled criminal prosecutions for DOJ. This comment by @jkbjournalist.bsky.social is exactly correct.

Idiot. A complete and utter idiot.

Uh-oh

They lied? Must be a day that ends in “y”.

He's using the CIA as an end-run around Congress. Trump installed Michael Ellis as General Counsel of the CIA back in September and got him to write a memo saying these attacks are legal. Ellis was part of the group that hid the "perfect" phone call with Zelenskyy that led to Trump's 1st impeachment

Important information. Another attempt to disenfranchise vote by mail voters.

Important fact about a change in Nursing Home care. This applies to both Medicare and Medicaid.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

A nice thread in which an actual expert patiently explains why the Secretary of Health and Human Service is not simply a liar, but an especially stupid one.

What aren't people understanding, here? 45/47 didn't/isn't appointing people to RUN agencies, but to enrich themselves while they DESTROY THEM. He NEVER CARED if they could do the job bc the job will no longer exist once he's done tearing everything down. GET IT STRAIGHT.

Forget Trump's nonsense. Voting by mail is safe and secure. Period. Don't forget to subscribe: www.dworkinsubstack.com/subscribe

That’s where the culture wars come in handy. Distract people with fear so that they tolerate the money grab from tax policies that favor the wealthy and deregulation of consumer protections.

Exactly

Phang: If that happened in January, how in the actual hell is Blanche now telling the American people that they suddenly discovered a million more documents? GTFOH. As far back as January, the entirety of the Epstein files were transferred to Main Justice at DOJ…

lol. Elon caused the redaction problem.

UN’s Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese: “I truly hope that people will stay calm, will not panic, and will remember that the international community is made of 193 states, and this is the time to give the US what it has been looking for – isolation!”

Santa fights fascists.

I worked for DOJ. I don't think people realize how dangerous it is for the White House to takeover the daily operations of the Justice Department.

When it was clear that Bush II lied about why the U.S. invaded Iraq, he said it was the right thing to do anyway because the dictator was toppled. Trump is setting up the same scenario in Venezuela: Pretend it's about drugs when it's about oil and conquest, then brag about overthrowing a dictator.

Reposting this because the crimes against humanity by this fascist regime are mounting up on the daily! If you agree like many others, please repost as well!

They got caught. They’re backing down. But this isn’t over. There needs to be a class action lawsuit. Instacart admitted it was using AI to charge different people different prices for the exact same items. Algorithmic price gouging. That scam could cost a family of four $1,200 more a year.

UPDATE: CNN confirms that "the envelope [holding the Epstein-Nassar Note] was sent from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City [where Epstein was being held] to Nassar"—*and* got vetted by federal officials. Which explains the Virginia postmark (where the FBI is).

Rep. Claudia Tenney dismisses spiking healthcare costs as a "non-issue"

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Trump has sued over jokes, tweets, interviews, and news articles but not once over any of the countless accusations of child rape. — That silence says everything.

Sanctioning officials for following their laws is on point for this administration.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

People don’t fall because they lose balance. They fall...because they fail to recover balance in time. This also applies to Democracy.

The President of the United States deleted this photo of the drawer full of photos with himself and Jeffrey Epstein from the DOJ's illegally redacted release of the files last night. We are watching a cover up in real time. This is file 468.

We now know the "who" (countries listed), we need to know how fucking much did tRump and his family get for this? You know damn good and well he's working for Putin and getting paid by these murderous countries.

DEVELOPING: Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie say they’re drafting articles of impeachment against AG Pam Bondi over the illegal handling of the Epstein files. This just escalated fast. Accountability is coming.

Donald Trump has cancelled the $35 a month Insulin cap and now Obamacare. Prices are expected to almost instantly go back to $1500 a month for 20 million people. Insulin costs $2 to make.

The MAGA regime says they will create a 4-day athletic event called “Patriot Games” which will feature one man and one woman from each state and territory. Instead of making healthcare affordable, they’re wasting millions on a Hunger Games version of American Gladiators.

The leaks are coming faster now.

ATTN MILITARY: That $1776 you’re getting? He’s taking it out of your already approved BHA and putting his name on it. www.defenseone.com/policy/2025/...

Yeah, wtf, Walmart? Does someone actually LOOK AT what you buy from your vendors?

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along

MINNEAPOLIS: “We kept yelling ‘she’s pregnant! She’s pregnant!’ — they put their knees in her… the handcuffed woman was dragged on the ground…” Lawless.

Feverishly working on this

“Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people." Rob Reiner

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American. Two options: 1) ICE deliberately targeted him. 2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens. Hard to say which option is scarier.

A lot of people are going to go hungry, and most of them won't even know who to blame.

Reiner understood how important the fight for freedom to marry was. Many Jan 6 figures also got their start in the Prop 8 fight - on the other side. John Eastman, Cleta Mitchell, ADF, NOM with its ties to Russia - Reiner beat them all in 2013. Then in 2020 they came back to overturn democracy. 1/

Yes, what an odd thing to say.

Rand Paul, who hand delivered a note from Trump to Putin with unknown contents, wanted to get rid of the espionage act. Here is a reminder from Senator John McCain that Rand Paul and Donald Trump work for Vladimir Putin.
