Mike Rogers wants us divided. But there is so much more that unites us than sets us apart. The power is ours. This land was made for you and me.

This is just rank Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism, based on the bigoted idea that there is something inherently scary about a president with the last name "El-Sayed." It is incumbent on all of us to call it out.

Fox Propaganda wanted President Obama in jail for ObamaCare and called President Biden a dictator for trying to erase student debt, but haven’t said one word about the orange felon trying to fund Jan 6 terrorists, protecting pedos or committing money laundering. Funny how that works.
Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.
The problem is, even if there is a process, it relies on people being transparent and the senate enforcing the rules. And that is clearly not going to happen in this regime.
And I'm sure it is no surprise that Sharyn Alfonsi’s 60 Minutes story that investigated the Epstein money trail somehow disappeared after Alfonsi was fired. Wake up America we are witnessing a massive cover-up
WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump administration has detained more than 50 spouses, parents of US troops in immigration crackdown, AP review finds.
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, an opponent of Donald Trump’s anti-voting agenda, won the Democratic nomination Tuesday to be the state’s next governor. She’ll face off against a Republican who opposes virtually everything she stands for. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The decisive failure of GOP referenda in Kansas Amendment 1 and Missouri Amendment 4 yesterday is yet another reminder of something I've been saying for a while: Voters, even Republican voters, now regularly despise and repudiate GOP attempts to use them to destroy democracy.
Whenever you read a hot take from Politico that casts Dems in an unflattering light, remind yourself that the owner asked the executives to pray for Donald Trump’s reelection. It’s propaganda.

The Justice Department is backing away from some cases involving foreign bribery, money laundering and crypto markets. Defense lawyers are bracing for a slowdown.

Great reporting from @sethklamann.bsky.social at the Denver Post, on the pressures that federal immigration judges are under to deny due process to detainees. It profiles one of the judges who was fired after she challenged the system. @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Burgie was the second Colorado immigration judge fired under the Trump administration in his second term, and she joins roughly 120 judges nationwide who have lost their jobs in the past 18 months, said Jeremiah Johnson, vice president of the National Association of Immigration Judges

You could grow a spine and do your damn jobs.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayCornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"
Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media
Tillis and Cornyn have caved to Trump’s $100 million IRS immunity, but that’s just one reason to reject him as AG. Here are many more:
Barb McQuade@barbmcquade.bsky.social · 4d agoBlanche should be blocked for IRS/slush fund AND - targeting Comey, James, Hearn, Powell, Walz, Frey, MOCs - Epstein - payouts to Flynn, Page, Babbitt, Vaughn - rejecting ethics advice to recuse from Trump cases - “war” on judiciary - “cleaning house” of DOJ personnel who worked on Trump cases
Klobuchar: "More than six months after Renee and Alex's deaths when I asked Acting AG Blanche if the department would finally fully cooperate with state law enforcement in these investigations, he said 'it depends on what full cooperation means'...Minnesotans deserve transparency and accountability"
"First, Democratic senators should kill the deal on the continuing resolution. Then they need to use the Blanche confirmation to highlight the truth that a Republican Senate will simply be a rubber stamp for Trump over the next two years." Now do it.
GOP Sheep to the Midterm Slaughter
Todd Blanche’s confirmation will be bad for the country—and a gift to Senate Democrats.
lnk.thebulwark.com
Blanche gave Cornyn/Tillis a fake deal, which is not a legally binding modification of the original agreement signed by all parties like they demanded, & kept IRS immunity, so they can surrender while declaring victory. Just more theater from worthless Republicans in the senate.
Padilla co-wrote a bill that would let the public sue a sitting president to recover money taken through corruption. Yes, a sitting president. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trumps-law...
