The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home. We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss. We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

Yep. We have to shine an even brighter light on the lunacy.

When a leader becomes so weak & unstable, lies need to be amplified even more. Without them his cult of personality weakens. This might be insane but it needs to be understood historically. Fascism is more than ever the main ideological precedent for Trump's lies.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries. Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves. "Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks. "No, guess he should've complied," agent says. Yakima, Washington

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

💯%. I've come to accept how morally depraved Donald Trump is. But I'll never get over how blindingly imbecilic he is. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Exactly 10 days after taking the oath early this year, Donald Trump nearly drowned dozens, potentially hundreds, of his own citizens in California’s Central Valley. Why? Because he is one of the most ignorant people you will ever meet. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

The Trump regime has pulled the US out of the UN Human Rights Universal Process Review. This is chilling. This review happens every 4-5 years for each country in the UN. No country has ever pulled out of the review. Until now. I remember the last time the US had its UPR... 🧵

Nothing important here. Just a publicly-traded company disclosing to investors that it’s attempting to bribe the President of the United States by buying his cryptocurrency in order to influence his trade policy.

“Virtually every day now we see government lawyers, acting on Ms. Bondi’s behalf, gaslighting and stonewalling federal judges from coast to coast. … “Brad Bondi isn’t the right person to lead the DC Bar at this time. Not now. Not at this extroardinarily perilous moment for our legal system.”

“If I were president… I will end that war in one day, it would take 24 hours.” “I would get that ended in a period of 24 hours. It would be easy, that deal would be easy.” Instead, he grants his fellow psychopath latitude for ongoing mass murder. Insults Zelenskyy. Envoy: “Putin’s not a bad guy.”

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

Let’s be clear: the Dept. of Ed. provides resources to 26 million children living in high-poverty school districts; Pell Grants to over 7 million students; & funding for millions of children with disabilities. Closing its doors would be a disaster for working class families.

If you told me people were lining up to write million dollar checks for the inauguration of a guy who a few short years ago laid siege to the Capitol in an attempted insurrection, I would've said you were crazy. It turns out I was the crazy one.
