Former Pardon Attorney: 2 days after Mr. Blanche was confirmed as Deputy AG, he fired me from my position as a pardon attorney. I declined to rubber stamp a political favor for Trump's friend. Blanche sent US Marshals to my home in an effort to prevent me from speaking with members of Congress.

With the Epstein emails at a new fever pitch, please read @sarahkendzior.bsky.social’s 2022 “They Knew” (as well as her prolific other writings) — it is a window into the past about things that seem only to be “discovered” now. Strongly recommend, I owe a lot to her thinking/writing.

If you are at all concerned about what this country is doing to it's people and you want to know more about it and somehow you do not know Sarah, you need to change that. Follow her, read her essays (that often, though not always, have hopefulness within them), buy her books.

Here are three more factual statements: 1. 25,000 of Mike Johnson's constituents are about to lose health care 2. 27,000 more are about to have their premiums skyrocket. 3. A 60 year old couple in his district would pay $19,000 more a year.

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that? MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

What could have been a crucial warning had it been heeded has become a thorough book of recent history by now.

Trump and the FBI are not enemies. They are longtime collaborators. Two former heads of the FBI went on to work for the Russian mafia. Another, James Comey, removed the head of the Russian mafia from the ten most wanted list for no good reason in December 2015. From HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT:

Keep California's attempt to criminalize free speech in mind as Democrats embrace Newsom. My words of warning on him from June. If he is truly standing up to Trump, he should be standing up to legislators in his own state pushing Trump's policies. He's not. sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/fake-feuds...

Rep Eric Swalwell walked out in *shock*—and who could blame him? Every single GOP member on the House Judiciary Committee just voted to let Trump “deport” American citizens. This is illegal, authoritarian, and unforgivable 🤬 Time to call, write, & protest before the full House votes.

The opinion by Wilkinson—a Reagan appointee—is a scorcher. “If today the Executive claims the right to deport without due process and in disregard of court orders, what assurance will there be tomorrow that it will not deport American citizens and then disclaim responsibility to bring them home?”
