This breaks me — because I can see my wife and daughter living through this. I don’t trust DHS, and you shouldn’t either because it could happen to anyone. They’re on a mission, and it feels lawless as hell.

Trump’s corrupt weaponization of government continues as five more law firms (Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, A&O Shearman, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett and Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft) agree to give $600 million in free legal work. This is dictatorship stuff. Shame on all them for caving.

There’s probably no greater symbol of Trump’s defiling of the USA than hanging a portrait of his fake assassination attempt in the White House. It has it all, fake blood, punk ass Secret Service and the sort of ‘tough guy’ iconography that appeals to American idiots everywhere.

There are numerous calls to investigate whether Trump and his cronies engaged in insider trading, pump and dumps, etc. But it won't be DOJ. It won't be the SEC. It won't be Congress. You know who CAN investigate this? NY AG Letitia James - who has jurisdiction over Wall St.

In the past, when we heard from the Supreme Court, it was to clarify a law based on the Constitution. Now, the Supreme Court isn't clarifying laws, they're creating them by setting fire to the Constitution.🔥 #ProudBlue #StenchOnTheBench #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace

The reason empty townhalls work is because it is direct action toward your local lawmaker. You aren’t a random protester. You aren’t a random person calling their office. You are a constituent demanding action. Demand your local lawmaker do better, or shame them in their own district.
