NEW EPISODE: DOJ is now 0-20 in the voter roll cases -- and we are winning. I break down the Trump administration's yearlong effort to build a national voter database, and explain why today we shut the door on Trump's scheme for the midterms. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kc3...

Three years ago, the Biden White House attacked me for saying "Democrats should be fighting on every possible front — filing a flurry of lawsuits and exerting public pressure through the media." "The president's team wants to be more selective in picking legal fights." I feel sadly vindicated.
If you have ever had doubts about the character and morals of Donald Trump, Trump is actually willing to prosecute and imprison a man for vandalism even after he was shown mountains of evidence proving otherwise because he refuses to admit he was wrong.

Happy #FoldingChairDay, to all who celebrate it! Whether you throw your hat into the air, go for a nice swim, or just beat down a Racist, know that the Ancestors are *still* pleased with this day.
I fought Rudy Giuliani and Trump in 202 and learned an important lesson: They would lie in the parking lot but have to be more careful in court. Jeanine Pirro's dismissal of the bogus case against David Hearn is just the latest example of this.
Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳
I've never seen a woodpecker threat display until just now, when Elvis ran up barking at this poor guy just trying to grab some breakfast. Little man was not expecting him to scream back at him and RAN. 😂
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/...

Started George on a *different* weight loss kibble today for no obvious reason. 🤦🏻♀️😂
You could have voted to impeach in January 2000. Instead, you voted for no witnesses and no documents to be allowed at trial. You are a failed person, Cornyn.
This is why this is not just about Max Miller. It’s about “devout Christian” House Republican leadership who is standing with this guy because they crave power above all else. It’s the culture of MAGA and it comes straight from Trump. Vote them out.

Great thread and superb investigation by Wyden’s team.
Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.gov · yesterdayOne more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.
