A pair of complete nutjobs are running the FBI, and not a single one of us is safer because of it. I feel awful for the agents who risk their lives for us—they don’t deserve this madness, and neither do we.

America, be very clear about what Trump/Vance are doing right now attacking these judges. They’re laying the groundwork to defy a court order. They’re laying the groundwork to ignore the rule of law.
