A federal judge has ordered White House personnel to continue complying with the Presidential Records Act after the Trump Justice Department argued in a legal opinion last month that the law was "unconstitutional" and that Trump has the authority to destroy presidential records from his term.

BREAKING: Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges, two law enforcement officers who clashed with Jan. 6 insurrectionists, have sued to block the Trump 'slush fund'. They're asking a federal judge to find the creation of the fund illegal and reverse any transfers that Treasury has made to DOJ to implement it.

BREAKING: Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn & MPD Officer Hodges are suing to block the $1.8B “weaponization” slush fund.

Nothing makes someone look guiltier than forcing the Justice Department to promise never to investigate your taxes or prosecute you for anything they might find

Thomas Massie: “Today is the six month anniversary of the Epstein Transparency Act. We’ve taken out two dozen CEOs, an ambassador, a prince, a prime minister, a minister of culture, that was just six months. I’ve got seven months left in Congress.” video courtesy @acyn.bsky.social

The Fourteenth Amendment, written in the blood of the Civil War, says in Section 4 that this is blatantly illegal: “[N]either the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States.”

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

Full investigation please!~

Congress works 140 days a year and earns $174K annually, plus full benefits. How can anyone survive on that without a few stock trades and a little insider trading? They get 225 days off a year and think it’s okay to hold the federal minimum wage at $7.25 an hour for 17 years.

Bush & Clinton kept their assets in a blind trust. Neither Obama nor Biden traded stocks in office.Trump's 3,700 trades is likely more than the trades of all other presidents. A walking conflict of interest; perhaps insider trading. Just as Congress should not be able to trade, so too the president.

“You and me and us and we — the people — we are the bosses of the president, and we will determine where we go from here. We make the decisions about the future of our nation, and that’s what gives me hope.” - @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov to @joycewhitevance.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Stephen Colbert and David Letterman throwing things off the Ed Sullivan Theater. Colbert: “Anything you’d like to say, Dave?” Letterman: “In the words of the great Edward R. Murrow to CBS: ‘Good night and good luck, motherfuckers.’”

The response to Callais must be just as ferocious as the Supreme Court’s assault on voting rights. We do not have a true democracy when millions of Americans cannot elect representatives of their choice, or when virtually all-white ruling class has a lock on office open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

Trump's latest attack on me is as unhinged as ever. I wear his scorn as a badge of honor. If you want to help me in the fight for free and fair elections (and really piss off Trump), subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito leaned on an erroneous claim that Black voter turnout now tops white voter turnout, in his Callais v. Louisiana ruling that gutted the Voting Rights Act, reports The Guardian. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Today, I was back in court, standing up against this Administration’s attempts to silence me, millions of other veterans, and all Americans. Our vets deserve leaders who stand up for their rights, not try to take them away. That’s why I’m not giving them an inch.

I always liked Robert De Niro as an actor. I like him even more as a political activist. He is not intimidated like some others of influence and as many vital institutions and corporations in 🇺🇸. In particular shame on the lawyer firms who folded without a legal battle.

Your daily reminder Rick Scott (R-Swamp) is a crook!

Only in America can one party control the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives, win the popular vote,and hold the majority of governorships... and still blame the other party for everything wrong with this country

NEW: New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill is considering redistricting in light of the Louisiana v. Callais SCOTUS ruling vanquishing minority voter protections. “If Trump is going to attack fair voting, then New Jersey is going to stand up so that we can create a counterbalance,” says Sherrill.

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

8+6+4+7=25th Amendment

James Comey committed no crime. The judge could just take judicial notice of the dictionary definition of the slang term "86." Motion to dismiss, granted.

Trump just fired the entire National Science Board. The members will be replaced with the most malignant anti-science shitbirds imaginable. I thought science wasn’t supposed to be political, right?

Best comparison between Biden and Trump I've ever seen!

Note the common theme across DHS funding, the reconciliation bill, and 702 extension: all three are tangled up in internal Republican squabbling. This is NOT partisan division, this is Republican incompetence. Get the news right, please.

substack.com/@glennkirsch... @glennkirschner.bsky.social Yes! What do we do?

substack.com/@kaitjustice... @kaitjustice.com does amazing research and reporting.

This is literally insane and infuriating.

There is a lesson to be learned from the horror show at the White House Correspondents dinner Saturday night. It is not that the dinner should be moved to the horrific WH ballroom Trump is planning. It is to put an end to the embarrassing spectacle of this dinner.

The DOJ violates the Epstein Files Transparency Act on the daily. So I'm suing Todd Blanche. As a journalist, I cannot report accurately on the Epstein Files if I cannot even read them. I am represented by @brendanballou.bsky.social & we seek to hold the DOJ accountable for its noncompliance.

🧑‍🌾 WATCH: “If farmers contract cancer from this chemical, if this makes it into the Farm Bill you won’t be able to sue.” Rep Massie warns🚨about a provision protecting foreign pesticide corporations from lawsuits by sick farmers —a bill rusty grills pushes in Tennessee🤔

So it was staged for the lawsuit, and this motion was drafted already, right?

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

He's the worst thing that ever happened to America. I despise him BECAUSE I love my country. 🇺🇸

Trump dodges the draft, hires foreign workers for his resorts and country clubs because he doesn’t want to pay Americans a decent wage, and buys materials for his various DC construction projects overseas. He is neither a patriot nor America First. He is just a greedy bastard.

Let’s also note that this is a base lie. The money for the building came from fees collected from banks, not from taxpayers. The Fed is self financed.

Oh hell no. Hey Bluesky What The Actual Fuck!! I detect no lies in Mrs Betty Bowers comment. That Felonious Arsehole is a convicted criminal. Thirty Four Counts of Criminality. Don't fuck with the Butterflies. #FreeMrsBettyBowers Pass it on Butterflies.

RFK Jr. is the perfect example of someone striving to create a "master race" that he would not be allowed to be a part of.
