From the Admin that purports to support free speech, this baseless “Operation” is only meant to chill free speech. There is no predication for the FBI to open this investigation. The DOJ IG must monitor this closely — it appears to violate Department guidelines.

Unheard of. And a sign that no other career prosecutor is willing to stand behind this improper weaponization of the DOJ.

Putin interfered in the 2016 election and helped Trump win. Trump tried to build Trump Tower Moscow while he was President. Trump chose to believe Putin over our own intelligence community in 2018. Trump withheld aid from Ukraine in 2019. Trump is Putin’s puppet.

And it means any individual (dealer) or corporation (manufacturer) that supplies them with guns can be criminally charged with providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization.

Dear media: Please do not waste time hyperventilating about this dumb comment. It’s intended to be a distraction from all of the damaging actions he’s taking. Focus on those.

Did you speak with Trump’s former AG Bill Barr? His former NSA John Bolton? His former CIA Director Gina Haspel? Patel’s former boss at the NSC, Fiona Hill? All of them worked with him and strongly oppose his nomination because he’s dangerous and unqualified.

The AfD is the neo-Nazi party. Elon Musk and now JD Vance have shown strong support for the AfD in the run-up to German elections. Aside from the serious questions about meddling in another democracy, why is the GOP so quiet about this signal of antisemitism?

Hmmm who benefits when there are fewer IRS tax collectors? Billionaires like Elon Musk. Cutting IRS tax collectors RAISES the deficit because wealthy taxpayers can avoid paying taxes. Wait, I thought DOGE wants to cut the deficit? www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

So 7 prosecutors gave up their jobs and careers because they refused to dismiss a case … for political reasons? Bove didn’t question the evidence. Sassoon and 6 others wouldn’t seek to dismiss *because* of the evidence. It’s not hard to see who is political in this story.

Congressional Republicans incessantly whined for four years about the weaponization of the Biden DOJ. The only support they had is that Trump was charged with crimes and his home was searched. Now that Bondi/Bove are openly weaponizing DOJ, have any R’s said anything? Nothing?

For context, Bondi and Bove explicitly said the decision to dismiss the Adams case was NOT based on facts or law— an admission that it is improperly political. Bove is now terrorizing DOJ looking for someone to violate their bar license to do his dirty work. A dark day for DOJ.

At least SEVEN prosecutors have resigned rather than follow Emil Bove’s unethical, corrupt and political demand to dismiss the Eric Adams case. Bove now has the entire Public Integrity Section in a room threatening to fire anyone unwilling to dismiss the case. Bove must go.

AG Pam Bondi swore under oath at her confirmation hearing that she would not allow politics or partisanship to affect The Justice Department. The proposed Adams dismissal is blatantly political — the memo expressly states it is NOT based on facts or law. The AG lied under oath.

GOP strategy: cut taxes for billionaires by cutting programs working people depend on. 70M Americans—and 39% of kids—rely on Medicaid, but the GOP's budget plan will rip away their health care. Ds will use our leverage in this slim majority to protect Americans from these cuts.

Elon Musk calling Dems corrupt is laughable. He's nixing government contracts while receiving billions in government contracts across Tesla and SpaceX. Now he oversees the agencies currently investigating him. What do you think Elon cares about– serving America or himself?

This is what happens when you put a tv host with no negotiating experience as the head of the most powerful Defense Department in the world. Before negotiations even begin, he’s given up a critical issue. Is this the “art of the deal” Donald Trump?

Trump’s #BillionaireFirst policy: + unelected billionaire cuts programs for working Americans + cut taxes for billionaires + tariffs = inflation rises Higher costs for the middle class, lower taxes for billionaires.

Trump didn’t issue a "buyout" of federal employees—this is a hostile takeover. Replacing CIA, NSA, and FBI agents with his minions will cripple national security, intelligence gathering, and antiterrorism efforts. Trump is endangering lives, and Rs are too scared to speak up.

I have never seen — and could never imagine — DOJ making a charging decision that is affirmatively NOT based on the evidence and the law. Whether you agree or not with the outcome, that is the very definition of a political decision — which Bondi testified she would not do.

Are you seeing a pattern? Trump is systematically removing every form of accountability: Inspectors General, prosecutors and FBI agents, and now the Director of the Office of Government Ethics. Paving the way for Lyin’ Kash Patel to become his hatchet man. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-o...

Elon, if you need more teenagers for DOGE…

It wasn’t just a freeze on Elon Musk and DOGE accessing Americans’ personal data. He was ordered to DESTROY any data they already took. Elon must confirm he has followed the court order.

So money already appropriated and granted for SNAP, Medicaid, Medicare and Head Start can be cancelled, but not the $137k for new drapes and things for Pete Hegseth’s government-provided house. www.forbes.com/sites/antoni...

American farmers will be hurt severely by shuttering USAID. Each year, more than $2 billion worth of food is purchased by USAID from American farmers, including surplus that would otherwise go to waste. #AmericaLast

The richest man alive and his unvetted teenagers are lawlessly firing federal workers and canceling vital government funds. While the GOP cowers in fear and surrenders its authority, Democrats are introducing legislation, filing lawsuits and fighting this smash-and-grab looting.

This is why vetting and security clearances matter. This guy stole company secrets for a competitor and now he has access to potentially classified information. Our competitors are China and Iran, not small tech companies. Will Congressional R’s protect our national secrets?

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are trying to take away your hard-earned Social Security benefits.

Modernizing government computer systems is a great idea. But that’s not what you’re doing. You’re freezing all funding, removing critical federal employees, and usurping control of the government.

So Elon Musk has the same ethics rules as the Supreme Court: none.

There is no way that Trump is approving everything that Musk is doing. Trump has effectively turned over the federal government to an unelected billionaire who spent $250m to get him elected. Make no mistake: Elon Musk owns Donald Trump and is calling the shots.

Trump caved to Mexico and Canada. He got nothing more than what they already agreed to do with Biden. But I am glad the President agrees that we must stop the outflow of American guns to the Mexican cartels. I look forward to working with him on my Disarming Cartels Act.

There is bipartisan support to cut red tape and make the government better. But that doesn’t involve giving an unelected billionaire complete control. DOGE is not a government agency and Elon is not a government employee or appointee. Is the GOP just a bunch of lemmings?

Ogles investigation seemingly dropped. No investigation into the WH Press Sec. despite obvious campaign finance violations. Trump accomplices in classified docs case dismissed. Jan 6 and Trump prosecutors and FBI agents fired. THIS IS THE WEAPONIZATION OF THE DOJ!!

Yet even more firings of nonpartisan, patriotic DOJ prosecutors and senior FBI officials simply for doing their job. If you don’t realize that Trump is trying to take full control of our government, you aren’t paying attention. Yet congressional Republicans just sit and watch.

Trump is purging regulators from oversight boards to replace them with partisan hacks to benefit his billionaire buddies who want to get rid of accountability and workers’ rights. Once again, the American people will pay for his policies helping the wealthy and well-connected.

Trump’s disgusting, baseless attack on women and minorities is another ploy to distract from his own guilt from gutting the FAA last week. There’s Air Traffic Controller shortages BECAUSE the qualification process is onerous. His reckless defunding is making us all less safe.

Russian media has called Tulsi Gabbard “our girl.” She had a sit-down meeting with Bashar Al-Assad while he gassed his own citizens. Her loyalty to our adversaries and disregard for our allies make her an actual threat to our national security. The Senate must reject her.

Appointing Kash Patel to run the FBI would transform it into Trump's own Gestapo, paving the way for a revenge tour against his adversaries. He’s what the founders envisioned when they gave the Senate the power to reject presidential nominees. They must fulfill that duty.

Community Notes for thee but not for me. Elon Musk is blatantly promoting false information on this platform by removing corrections to his initial bogus claims.

Donald Trump just tried to unilaterally and illegally cut billions of dollars in funding for everyday Americans so he can pay for his tax cuts for billionaires. Congressional Republicans' deafening silence is a betrayal of their constituents and their oath of office.

We are witnessing a naked power grab by Trump. Instead of lowering prices, Trump is consolidating unchecked power by firing IGs, pardoning cop beaters, and usurping Congress’s power of the purse. Next up: install his lackeys as heads of the FBI and IC to go after his enemies.

OMB Dir-nominee Russ Vought oversaw Project 2025, which was responsible for drafting this Memo freezing all federal funding that Congress has appropriated. If Senate Republicans vote to confirm Vought, then they own this memo and whatever disastrous consequences flow from it.

Every Republican in Congress must be asked if they agree with Trump’s decision to freeze ALL federal funds. Congress has a constitutional obligation to be a check and balance on the President. Republicans control Congress. Are they loyal to Trump or the constitution?

Just so there is no confusion, Trump has frozen ALL spending — both domestic and foreign. This will reduce US power and influence across the globe, cut jobs for union members and working Americans, increase inflation, and let China beat us. That’s not what America voted for.

Every inspector general who Trump unlawfully fired must remain in their positions until the courts order them to leave. Trump is both appointing unqualified flunkies and trying to eliminate any form of accountability. Senate Republicans can stop him by rejecting Kash Patel.

Trump pardoned over 1500 January 6th rioters who assaulted more than 140 police officers defending the Capitol that day. Republican's silence signals their agreement with Trump. No Republican can ever again say they 'back the blue’ in light of this betrayal of law enforcement.

The Citizens United ruling 15 years ago today has ushered in an oligarchy with the world’s richest man calling the shots. Yesterday, Trump was flanked by billionaire backers flaunting their influence. Don’t listen to what Trump says—look at what he does.

Cecile Richards was a tireless advocate who dedicated her life to empowering women. As Planned Parenthood’s head for over a decade, she led the fight to protect women’s right to choose. As we enter dangerous times for reproductive health care, her legacy is a guiding light.

Trump spent his first term using the presidency to benefit himself. But this is an astounding level of corruption. He is now blatantly using the Presidency to enrich himself by billions of dollars. This was never about you or this country. It’s about him and his bank account.
