Dear @padilla.senate.gov : Can taxpayers also sue the contractor we paid $14.7 million (with his profit margin of $20% compared to typical 6%-12% federal range) who botched the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool--along with the sitting president who gave him a no-bid contract?

Scott Dworkin@dworkin.bsky.social · 3d ago

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...

Hard to keep track of the number of times he's declared victory in his illegal war-of-choice. #86-47

Good to know that Sen. Moreno believes his daughter. The question now is whether Speaker Mike Johnson, President Donald Trump, and Rep. Richard Hudson (Chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee) believe her and will act accordingly. #DomesticViolence #ChildAbuse #Blues

NEW: Sen. Bernie Moreno has finally broken his silence, accusing Rep. Max Miller of being “a danger” to his daughter, saying he “needs serious psychological help,” and that he “should not serve in the House of Representatives.”

Trump: “The Winning Shot in the Bedminster Club Championship! Thank you very much to all of those who participated. I won with a 70, & am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I’m given very little time to practice, bc I’m focused on many other things. It’s called TALENT, and I have it”

Cincinnati has developed a Climate Migration Readiness Plan to absorb as many as 525,000 newcomers by 2050. It calls for building much denser housing, expanding public transit and decreasing the city’s reliance on fossil fuels.

An ICE goon walked across the street and pepper sprayed a woman for filming him on her phone.

🚨 I am tired of EVERYTHING Payton Manning. In 1996, Manning tea bagged a UT trainer. She left her job & received a settlement. Later, six other women from UT filed a lawsuit against him. He's a MAGA supporter & another sexual abuser. The article 👇 is from 2016. www.espn.com/espn/otl/sto...

This war will end when he's no longer President , the EU steps in to fix this or the Republicans grow a pair! They should be in Washington DC to force the issue not on vacation! He looks weaker by the day and Iran smells blood. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Trump says he is cancelling strikes on Iran subject to deal being made 'rapidly'

The US president claims Iran and other Middle Eastern countries asked Washington to hold off on any attack as the "perimeters" of a deal had been agreed.

🚨 This article is regarding the 2nd Amendment and the opinion of retired SCOTUS Justice Warren Burger from interviews in 1991 and 1992. The 2nd Amendment is NOT absolute! The article is from 2014, but it is more relevant today. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

This is happening way to often in MAGA Republican party. Rep. Austin McCollum is running for Benton County Judge. FINALLY, a redline was crossed! His own party has been calling on him to resign his seat in the State Legislature AND to withdraw from the County Judge's race.

We will never forget. Impeach! Remove! Convict!

🚨 NEWS: In a new court filing, Capital One says Donald Trump’s accounts were closed in 2021 after months of analysis by its anti-money laundering (AML) professionals, not because of politics, as Trump has long claimed. 1/

🚨 Somewhere after every shooting our furry family members wait for us to come home. 🐾 Sadly, far too often, their human doesn't make it home. This happened to a family member. Molly waited by the door for over two weeks. She was inconsolable, just like my family.

A lifetime ago I respected Jeanine Pirro. She contributed to either CNN or MS NOW (formerly known as MSNBC). She was a legal expert and NORMAL. Now she's a shrill sycophant to Trump, Blanche and the Republican party. It's ridiculous who she ATTEMPTS to prosecute. She should be censured!

i think I'm going to start doing what cats do; just casually walk away from anything I'm not interested in.

🚨 We must vote for candidates who support sensible gun control. I'm a victim of gun violence in a domestic abuse situation. I still have PTSD, I always will. PLEASE keep this in the news for more than 24 hours. We MUST never become desensitized by this. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

“Can you get to the point already?” That’s what Epstein survivors say Acting AG nominee Todd Blanche told them after they spent 8 to 9 months begging for a meeting. This, from Trump’s nominee to be US Attorney General!

I'm watching the OG Halloween movie from 1978. It's less scary than real life now. I've watched this dozens of times. I just caught a Palm Tree 🌴 in the background. Yet,this is supposed to be in Illinois. It's still one of my favorite horror movies!

Has DOJ acknowledged this? "The ruling extends DOJ’s district court record in its nationwide voter-data crusade to brutal 0-19, just two days after a federal judge dismissed its New Jersey case." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

After brutal Illinois defeat, Trump DOJ’s voter roll crusade is 0 for 19

DOJ has appealed nearly all of its voter roll defeats. Yet no court to date has ordered a state to provide the department with an unredacted statewide voter database.

Trump's Medicaid work requirements are putting even terminally ill patients through bureaucratic nightmares to keep their health insurance — all to fund even more tax cuts for the wealthy.
