The Department of Justice is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a Capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That's what it is.

"We have to take care of this little gnat on our shoulder called the Democrats," says the American President to cheering servicemembers. This is so incredibly repugnant and un-American, on so many levels, I don't even know where to begin.

The list began at DHS in 2019. That was the test case for the present assault on the Constitution and the rule of law. If only more people had paid attention and spoken out then.
The list of people who have resigned/been fired for adhering to the rules/law is getting awfully long at this point, and I think an inference can be drawn from that fact.

Trump wanted to give King Charles one of Ike's swords. The Eisenhower presidential library said it could not provide one because it is government property and illegal to give away. Now the library director has been fired. @jennyschuessler @minhokimdh

Vinyl is vital to so many industries. It's the backbone of a diverse set of products, like pipe for safe water delivery.

Much of what the Trump Administration is doing is neither conservative nor legal. The conservative legal movement should have something to say about that.

He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it. But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it. They pretend not to see it. They change the

This applies in the civilian ranks as well—now and as it did in Trump’s first term.
@atrupar As counterpoint, as a retired Army officer, I suspect as much as many may want to resign, they may feel more than ever that it is essential that they stay and hold the line. Most of them will be returning to their units concerned--for the nation--by what they heard today.

5 years ago, I quit my White House role and spoke out against Trump. It cost me my career, but truth mattered more. From my break with Trump to Kamala Harris’ blunt truths today, the test remains: who will speak up, and who will stay silent? Courage is still rare.

“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have. I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧵

This began at DHS in 2019.
The corruption of the Justice Department has reached advanced stages. More honorable, ethical DOJ lawyers will find themselves forced to this step, or to become complicit in an ongoing assault against the law and the rights of our fellow citizens. https://t.co/VghxPK0ywO

The idea that it’s misconduct for a federal judge, at a private meeting of judges, and in response to the Chief Justice’s question about any concerns the judges may have, to express his colleagues’ well-taken concerns about whether the rule of law can survive, is not just
Me on the factually misleading and analytically ridiculous complaint DOJ has filed against Chief Judge Boasberg—and the dangerousness of DOJ trying to undermine public confidence in the only institution that has been effective at checking President Trump: https://t.co/uLOxGNTaU2
