They indicted an Olympian for damage their own contractor caused. 5 hours cuffed. National smear. Then dismissed “without prejudice” so they can do it again whenever they want. Prosecutors get immunity. Does this poor man even get an apology? #USDemocracy #RisingBlue apple.news/AEfSKoBgCSa2...

Roy Cooper said it right: we need Senators who actually remember young people exist. Rising rent, brutal job hunts, and half of Washington’s still stuck in 1995. We fix that by voting in large numbers in 90 days. (Also vote for Roy Cooper for Senator, NC!) #BlueWaveIn90Days
Donald Trump is the most corrupt President in United States history. House Democrats will keep fighting to hold him accountable.

Jenifer Lewis said it best: 35.9 million people sat out 2024, and we don’t let that shit happen again. Not this time. Not with 90 days on the clock and everything on the line. Speak out, knock louder, make it impossible to ignore. It’s on all of us to flip it all blue. #BlueWaveIn90Days

These guys are all skilled & clever lawyers. That they can’t get & do their jobs without desultory attempts to assert Donald Trump’s reality over the reality we all share outside his demented brain & narcissistic psyche shows why DOJ loses keeps losing; loser cases for an unhinged client
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3h ago😮 Trump's nominees are the most pathetic men in the world 😮 During a hearing, Blumenthal made Trump nominees squirm by asking them who won the 2020 election -- a question they refuse to answer -- but then Schiff upped the ante by asking them *who won the 2016 election.* Here's a supercut:
