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.

Imagine waking up after Election Day and the biggest story is historic voter participation. Millions showed up, stood in line, mailed ballots, voted early, and made themselves impossible to overlook. Be part of that story. #Pinks 📰

Lots of folks are comparing McConnell’s vote today to Feinstein’s finals days in the senate. The main difference is that Feinstein was co-sponsoring legislation to expand voting rights, while McConnell voted to cut SNAP and end environmental protections.

Hey @tomsuozzi.bsky.social The DSA members who won their primaries didn't sneak in, y'know. They were elected by Democratic party voters. Aren't "representatives" supposed to listen to voters?

"County Executive Mike Callagy assured on Wednesday that “there is zero interest in a data center — in fact, what’s less than zero?”" Yeah that's what I thought. It was press bait by Global Stack. And given the amount of press it generated, it really worked. www.smdailyjournal.com/news/local/c...

Ted Lieu: “There is a 24/7 camera that shows the reflecting pool. If someone went into the pool and made a 250 foot gash, it would have been seen trump is lying again. Everyone knows it, but the people at the Justice Dept are randomly going after people to soothe trump’s fragile ego”

I used Google Lens to check when this photo was taken (it's recent). Down in the results, I noticed something that was just plain wrong. So I called the AI on it. But what if I didn't know enough about this story already to know it's wrong?

NEW: I've filed a claim with Todd Blanche for compensation from the $1.776B slush fund for the unlawful investigation by the government into my podcast in August 2019. I'm seeking $8.647 million in compensation for weaponized lawfare - the equivalent of punitive damages, lost pay and retirement.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.
