I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Attorney Chris Parente tells reporters "the message that has been sent is that no one is above the law." "They dragged these six people behind me through the mud for over a year, and now the tables have turned," he says.

JUST IN: Judge April Perry says she will "go ahead and create a list of things I would like further evidence on" in the "Broadview Six" case. She says any presentation would be "under oath, under penalty of perjury."

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

Ann Wagner has been in office 14 years. She hasn’t defended her record as a member of Congress this entire election. She has attacked me. She has lied about how she has helped “middle class families.” She has said she’s just getting started. She has never held a town hall. She hasn’t debated.

HHS gutted the Office of Minority Health for 12 million to fund RFK Jr's bodyguards, whose budget ballooned from 10 million to 17 million in a year. A vaccine crank gets a bigger security check while the people his own agency serves get robbed to pay for it. Grotesque. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

It’s been a year since ICE drove a car through a crowd at Broadview, leading to the federal indictment of myself and five others. Today, those of us who could returned. The state can try all it wants, but it can’t silence us or our community’s fight for justice.
