DOJ’s politically motivated investigations into George Soros and other perceived enemies of Donald Trump is the actual weaponization of government that Republicans lied about happening in the Biden era. Those lies were a pretext to destroy our democracy once Trump took office. I warned about this.

President Trump is bringing the U.S. economy closer and closer to a recession. In addition to raising prices for consumers, his tariffs have resulted in the lowest levels of job creation in years and caused companies to reduce their investments in the United States.

This is what happens when you obliterate the presumption of regularity. Endless homework assignments because the court can't trust the government to follow orders in good faith.

The Republican agenda of higher costs and taking away constitutional rights isn’t going so well. That’s why town halls are off the rails and Senators like Joni Ernst and Tom Tillis are not seeking reelection. It’s a shame the rest of America has to pay the price for their lack of integrity.

Sir you are absolutely correct! Watching you this moment on the Weekend Primetime PLEASE get your message out to all the Democrats! Maybe our country will stand a chance to survive…

It’s only in America that we have an epidemic of mass shootings. And the discussion around these shootings is only political because Republicans in Congress and the White House oppose commonsense, lifesaving measures like an assault weapons ban and universal background checks.

Is there a solution to decrease gun violence? 'Assault weapons ban would go a long way': @mondairejones.bsky.social www.msnbc.com/katy-tur/wat...

An article from FedScoop talks about a @usccrgov.bsky.social report on the Federal use of Facial Recognition Technology. This report was released after completing an investigation led by USCCR Commissioner @mondairejones.bsky.social. Report: usccr.gov/reports/2024... fedscoop.com/hud-guidance...

The Trump Administration’s weaponization of the Justice Department doesn’t just damage the rule of law in the United States. It destroys the faith Americans have in our institutions.

The Trump Administration is obviously engaged in a cover-up of the Epstein files. The recent firing of federal prosecutor Maurene Comey, who put Ghislaine Maxwell behind bars, is likely part of that.

Thank you, @mondairejones.bsky.social

"This looks like a cover-up. There's no ambiguity about it... the release of these files may well destroy the presidency of Donald Trump." @mondairejones.bsky.social reacts to new reporting alleging ties between Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.

honestly I feel like Dems could do a lot with low info voters by demanding a special prosecutor to look into the Epstein stuff

Last election, billions of dollars were spent to tell the lie that Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress would focus on lowering costs. Instead, they’re about to enact legislation that makes life less affordable for middle-class and low-income Americans. Democrats should keep talking about this.

Whether it’s Josh Hawley or Mike Lawler, you can’t listen to a word they say. Just watch how they vote. They’re voting to throw 17 million people off their health insurance, and to take food away from children, because they believe only rich people and corporations deserve government assistance.

The extraordinary lengths to which the government has gone to pursue this flimsy case speaks volumes: they’d rather keep actually dangerous, deportable people on the streets than admit a simple mistake. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social’s major upset against Andrew Cuomo in the NYC mayoral primary election sent a clear message that voters want change within their party. @mondairejones.bsky.social joins @theweekendprime.bsky.social to discuss the lessons learned from Mamdani’s success. #TheWeekendPrime

The most important thing for Democrats to talk about right now is the millions of Americans about to lose their health care, and the low-income children about to lose access to food, because of the bill Republicans in Congress are about to pass.

KBJ, in dissent, calls today's ruling "profoundly dangerous" and an "existential threat to the rule of law." She expresses her "deep disillusionment" with the court and suggests that the conservative supermajority continues to crown Trump a king above law. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

When white northerners saw images of southern Blacks being brutalized by segregationists on TV, it galvanized support for civil rights. Today, footage of undocumented immigrants and some U.S. citizens being mistreated are turning the country against Trump’s immigration policies.

Good to see Mondaire Jones @mondairejones.bsky.social on #msnbc #KatyTur saying immigration is a top issue but the most important one right now is #Medicaid. #SNAP

Immigration is now a losing issue for Republicans in a variety of contexts. That’s because Donald Trump has been focused on deporting U.S. citizens and college students instead of the violent criminals he said he would.

We live in a rogue and dangerous country. Do what you need to do to maintain your internal peace. Hold the core of your spirit. Pray for peace. Commit yourself to justice. And just rest.

Senator Murphy actually does call it illegal later in the thread. “I've been briefed on the intelligence - there is no evidence Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States. That makes this attack illegal.”

President Trump’s bombing of Iran directly violates the Constitution, which grants Congress the sole authority to declare war or otherwise authorize the use of military force absent self-defense. Members of Congress cheering Trump’s actions abdicate their legal responsibility.

Elon Musk has been awful these past few years. I would know—he spent more to defeat me than he did any other House candidate in America. It made a difference. But if we are going to win big elections as Democrats, we have to be a big tent party willing to take in people we sometimes disagree with.

The most popular Democrats aren’t throwing around the word “progressive” every chance they get, understanding it means different things to different people. They’re talking about building an economy that lifts up the working class and standing up to Donald Trump and Elon Musk. That’s unifying.

Sure, it will be a challenge for individuals who served in Joe Biden’s administration to constantly have to answer questions regarding what they knew about his health and when, but the Democratic nominee in 2028 is likely to have no ties to Washington anyway. Americans hate the DC establishment.

America can’t afford for people like Mike Pence and other Republicans who know Donald Trump to shy away from criticism. Enough of the muted language and beating around the bush. Speak truth to power while there is still free speech in this country.

The most important thing to know about Mike Pence getting the Profile in Courage Award is that the Republican Party has become so morally and democratically bankrupt, simply following the Constitution is now a remarkable event. And still, Pence minimizes President Trump’s assault on the rule of law.

@mondairejones.bsky.social thanks for saying out loud everything I thought about the Pence interview. Nicely done!

@mondairejones.bsky.social - thank you for keeping it real on The Source with Kaitlan Collins. Mike Pence is still disgraceful in the way he continues to dance around the felon's egregious actions.

President Trump’s first 100 days have been a disaster. When he’s not crashing the economy with his reckless use of tariffs, he’s deporting U.S. citizens and defying the Supreme Court.

I was asked to grade the performance of Democrats in Congress. I gave House Democrats a C/C+ and Senate Democrats an F for doing business as usual and freely giving away their votes to a regime that is destroying our democracy and crashing the economy. Democrats must fight harder.

This week’s @waytooearly.bsky.social panel breaks down the week that was— including what Matt Gorman sees in the Waltz non-firing and why @mondairejones.bsky.social is still a House guy at heart, grading Senate Dems an “F” for these first 100 days: t.co/VUGZTEb2Kz #aliontooearly

My office is hosting a community impact hearing in Westchester on Thursday, May 8 from 6pm-8pm with some of my fellow attorneys general from across the nation. Join us to hear from New Yorkers about the impacts of the Trump administration and our work to protect the people:

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

At this point, the Republican members of Congress opposed to Pete Hegseth’s ouster as Defense Secretary are themselves threats to national security.

What an uplifting Easter service at Greater Centennial AME Zion Church in Mount Vernon today. Thanks to Rev. Stephen Pogue and his choir for bringing the house down. It was great introducing my former colleague and friend, Lieutenant Governor @delgadoforny.bsky.social, to the congregation.

When a tyrant starts to stutter and sends signals that his outlandish demands were sent without his authority, you know he’s a paper tiger. That’s when you’ve gotta double down on your resistance! www.nytimes.com/2025/04/18/b...

Now comes the time of year when some of the most hateful politicians in America quote extensively from the Bible and pretend to know Christ.

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness

Defiance of a Supreme Court order is the final step. With Republicans surrendering the legislative branch to President Trump, the federal judiciary was the only check on his authoritarian behavior.

Somehow the bigger scandal is Whitmer giving a planned speech on tariffs, then saying she didn’t know how she would’ve done tariffs differently than Donald Trump.

Republicans used to say “undocumented immigrants don’t pay taxes.” Now the IRS is handing their tax data to DHS… So which is it? Seems like you’d have to pay taxes to even have tax data…

Last night’s Wisconsin Supreme Court race was a victory for democracy. I would know. Last year, Elon Musk spent more money to defeat me than he spent against any House challenger in America. Had voters known back then who Elon Musk really is, I believe the result would’ve been different.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

So proud of my friend @corybooker.com.
