Fight Against Federal Overreach @fafofafo.bsky.social · 17/07/2026
Thanks to all who showed up to support our own @parisaforjustice.bsky.social today as she was deposed by the House Judiciary Committee. She would’ve been be happy to do a transparent public hearing, but was told “no”. This is clear political targeting, but the people have had enough.

"I’m being compelled to sit for a secret closed door deposition [today] before a Congressional committee chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan. I’ll appear...while making it clear that I answer to the voters of my community, not to Congress." - @parisaforjustice.bsky.social bluevirginia.us/2026/07/thur...
Arlington County Commonwealth's Attorney Parisa Dehghani-Tafti:

"I’m being compelled to sit for a secret closed door deposition tomorrow, Thursday July 16, before a Congressional committee chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan. I’ll appear out of respect for the office I hold while making it clear that I answer to the voters of my community, not to Congress. The people of Arlington County and the City of Falls Church elected me in 2019 in a historic election and re-elected me in 2024. As long as my community grants me the privilege to serve, I will not be bullied nor intimidated by anyone, no matter the federal office they hold or the friends they may have in high places.
I am feeling all the love the dozens and dozens of you have shared with me. Thank you. I am so so grateful to you.
And a work of one of my absolute favorite artists, Matisse, for your viewing pleasure."

ICE Killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo on a Houston Street Today. It's Using the Same Script It Always Uses.
No video. No independent witness. Just ICE's word — the same word that didn't hold up the last three times.

It’s disappointing the House Judiciary Committee is so afraid to have me testify in a public hearing that they are compelling me to a closed-door deposition.

“Congress surrendered its most powerful check over the DHS earlier this month when it added $70 billion for immigration enforcement…” The weaker our Congress, the more unchecked power the president receives. This is dangerous for our democracy. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

“This is the right ruling from SCOTUS, but is far too close for comfort. We need to be focused on protecting our election against illegal interference and attempts to make voting less accessible, rather than restricting it.” — @stevedescano.bsky.social, Fairfax County Attorney, member of FAFO

🚨Marc Elias: “Here, we have a president who, by his own account, personally called a federal prosecutor to intervene in an ongoing election.” Trump is brazenly admitting to election interference. We must resist this normalization of deviance. bit.ly/4ePaa20

Trump told us exactly what he did
Here, we have a president who, by his own account, personally called a federal prosecutor to intervene in an ongoing election — and the story has barely registered.
