DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

Trump & Musk are trying to fire 100,000+ civil servants right now - including over 1,000 VA employees. Purges are happening at SBA, Energy, Education & more. Firing this many critical employees at once could make it impossible for our government to provide BASIC services.

Now that Trump has fired the Kennedy Center leadership and installed a bunch of cronies who made him the new chair, the theater is canceling programs with even a hint of LGBTQ themes and scrubbing them from its website. Dark stuff. www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

Do read this impressive letter from Danielle Sassoon, who admirably resigned rather than following orders from Trump's DOJ to drop the case against Eric Adams. static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...
