Reporter: "This administration has talked a lot about defending law enforcement...but you've been criticized for having a double standard with the president pardoning all these people who attacked police officers on Jan. 6." Bondi: "Well, this is very different."

Tanks in DC Troops in LA. A military parade on his birthday. Trump is done pretending. This is what authoritarianism looks like in America. My latest on why we must speak out now — before silence becomes complicity. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/authoritar...

Good morning to everyone but the most corrupt president to ever exist, who is at this moment selling out his nation to the funders of terrorism so his boy can sign another $2 billion deal. Oh and Tom Holman

A tiny Chinese company owned by the same people that own TikTok just paid $300,000,000 for Trump’s (crypto) meme coin which is worthless. Why did they do it? So, they and TFG can pretend it’s not a bribe.

There are two ways a US President can win business for the US economy. The first is by establishing rules that favor competition and create an open, productive playing field for everyone. The second is by brokering corrupt deals for big companies that court his personal favor.

Republicans aren't just ignoring Trump's graft, they're enabling it. So House Democrats should start treating them as accomplices. A good place to start? Pressuring James Comer. Gift link: wapo.st/431rQCY

“Your microphone works. Do you condemn this?” I asked my Republican colleagues — who say they care about antisemitism — if they condemn Trump pardoning neo-Nazis. Unfortunately, the party of “Jewish space lasers” doesn't give a damn about stopping antisemitism.

One of grants frozen at Cornell: $6.7M (4 yrs) to develop heart pumps for babies born w/ heart defects. It took decades of work to get to point of prepping device for in-human clinical trials. No private company could do this. The cruelty of the Trump administration is heartbreaking. So to speak.

Yikes. He shared it himself not long ago… and already forgot… Trump now claims he “had nothing to do with” a depiction of himself as the pope, even though it was just posted on his and the White House’s accounts. It was offensive, un-American, and disgraceful and that’s putting it mildly.

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker
