Foreign contributions to political campaigns are banned. Trump found a loophole—crypto—allowing him to rake in hundreds of millions from foreign regimes buying influence. My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart.

Here’s is the problem with characterizing J6 as viewpoint discrimination: it is not. It was an attempt to overturn a lawful election. We have been here as scholars and we have a choice for history: we cannot rewrite public memory to excuse violent anti-democratic acts.

“Hanging that banner should put to rest any doubt that Donald Trump has hijacked the independence of the Justice Department. He — not the American people — is the only client DOJ’s current leadership serves." www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Large banner of Trump unfurled at Justice Department headquarters

The DOJ has traditionally operated with a degree of separation from the White House to prevent the department's powers from being abused for political purposes.

IMPORTANT CONTEXT FOR "ILLEGALLY VOTED"

1️⃣ Administrative or registration mistakes (most common)

Examples:

Non-citizens accidentally registered at the DMV under motor-voter systems

People who believed they were citizens (common among legal residents with complex status histories)

Database errors that allowed registration to go through

These cases often involve no fraud intent — just ineligibility.

2️⃣ Confusion about citizenship status

Some people:

Thought naturalization was complete when it wasn’t

Were permanent residents who misunderstood eligibility

Were told incorrectly by officials or forms that they could register

Again, these are usually prosecuted as technical violations, not organized fraud.

3️⃣ Voting in local elections where non-citizens are allowed

In a few jurisdictions (not statewide), non-citizens can legally vote in school board elections.

Sometimes someone:

votes legally in one race

but that ballot includes other contests they weren’t allowed to vote in

That becomes an “illegal vote,” even though part of their participation was lawful.

So a Trump attorney that aided his 2020 campaign (and wrote a memo encouraging Pence to skip counting electoral votes) was given an "election integrity" job in the administration, where he made a referral to investigate Fulton County. 1/2

This rules - @raskin.house.gov straight up called out Roberts to his face. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

Ranking Member Jamie Raskin
Prepared Remarks for the Judicial Conference
September 16, 2025
Thank you, Chief Justice Roberts, for the invitation.
Forgive my directness here but the times are serious, as you know, our time is short. I have just five minutes and don't want to trespass on Senator Cruz's time.
Sometimes these days I feel as if all the foundational principles are being trampled and lost.
Often, I hear my colleagues in the House, and these are fellow Democrats, get up to protest some Executive usurpation of legislative power and they begin their lament with the plaintive cry, "We are a coequal branch of government..."
And I always feel they have lost the argument right there just by repeating that fifth-grade dogma.
First of all, co-equal is not even a word. It's an embarrassing redundancy like "very unique" or
"irregardless.
"

But there's a reason all legislative power is vested in the Congress and there's a reason it's in Article I.
The Founders had a revolution against monarchy and its constant assaults on liberty. In America, the Framers determined, only the representatives of the people would have power to declare wars, pass budgets, impose taxes and tariffs, and so on. Article lis pages and pages of all the powers vested in Congress. Then you get to Article Il, which is tiny.
The key paragraph says a president shall be removed from office upon impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors. If we are co-equal, why do we have the power to impeach, try, convict, remove and permanently disqualify the president and he doesn't have the power to impeach, try, convict, remove and disqualify us?
The core job of the president is plain: "To Take care that the laws are faithfully executed."
That's it. Not abused, not thwarted, not impounded, not redirected, but faithfully executed.
A lot of the cases entering the federal courts are variations on this theme.

Here's the remarkable thing: Americans have brought over 300 cases in federal district courts against the Administration so far for usurping legislative powers, defying federal laws, or violating the rights of the people. This summer, researchers found that plaintiffs were winning an astonishing 77% of the cases in the district courts. Moreover, they found that President Trump was losing about equally before Republican-appointed judges (72%) and Democratic-appointed judges (80%).
The numbers in the federal circuit courts of appeal are similar, with plaintiffs against the Administration winning overwhelmingly and again without a sharp partisan valence to the appeals courts' voting. A good example is the birthright citizenship case where four district court judges, two appointed by Republican presidents and two appointed by Democratic presidents, all struck down the President's purported negation of birthright citizenship. Then, on appeal, three circuit courts again all ruled against the Administration.
But everything is flipped when the cases come to the Supreme Court.

Controversial opinion: When it comes to US presidents, "blatantly breaking laws and violently violating people's rights" is a bigger deal than "is old," meriting greater public concern and a higher percentage of attention.

Trump is a convicted criminal who invited Nazis to his inauguration (including at least one who threw up a Nazi salute) and has already begun undermining the rule of law and making unconstitutional orders. Who is ready for #Impeachment3?

Once you realize that Trump isn’t nominating cabinet members to RUN agencies but DESTROY them, it makes more sense.
