Bad policy, bad character make bad politics: erratic tariffs, impulsive Iran war, blanket pardons, apparent corruption, weaponized justice, ICE brutality, mountainous deficits, hiding Epstein, abandoning allies and coddling enemies. Hoping for a course correction, for the country and for my party.

Exactly what we need in the absence of a functioning U.S. Department of Justice. An organization of ex-prosecutors and investigators who help can put cases together for current and future prosecutors who will restore accountability for corrupt federal officials and those who benefit from that corruption.
We are facing a crisis of impunity. That's why we built The Rule of Law Project — to investigate unlawful conduct by federal officials, and work with state and local prosecutors to hold them to account.
Watch former DOJ prosecutor Mark Blumberg and human rights leader Brad Adams launch this critical accountability initiative on MSNOW with Nicolle Wallace.
I’m co-presenting during the College and University Faculty Assembly (CUFA) in Chicago!

This is a brilliant video created by @donwinslow
Trump has lived a lifetime of criminal activity and deceit, now siding with dictators and pedophiles, while Republicans protect him to stay in power.
Stop this authoritarian takeover! Vote!

Seizing ballots.
Taking stakes in private companies.
Deploying troops into American cities.
Banning news from the White House.
The stakes could not be clearer. This November, VOTE.

A new review by the U.S. Government Accountability Office found the Department of Government Efficiency site's claim of $110 billion in taxpayer savings was vastly inflated and unreliable. abcnews.link/5kfIb4e

This is an outrageous attack on the Smithsonian, on the professionals who work there and the millions of Americans who love it. Like the Bolsheviks destroying churches - a deliberate desecration of something people respect and admire washingtonpost.com/style/202…

Putin
Last night Donald Trump released a declassified document that says his own intelligence community identified Putin as personally running an operation to defeat my father in 2020, built around a fake Burisma corruption scandal centered around me and executed through prominent Americans.
Trump tasked his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to fly to Kyiv and meet a known Russian agent.
The Americans who ran, laundered, and legitimized the operation:
Donald Trump. Rudy Giuliani. John Solomon. Joe DiGenova. Victoria Toensing. Lev Parnas. Igor Fruman. Chanel Rion. Sean Hannity. Steve Bannon. Miranda Devine. Ken Vogel. Ron Johnson. Chuck Grassley. James Comer. Jim Jordan.
To name a few.
An operation formally sanctioned by Trump's own Treasury Department on September 10, 2020, and expanded to include more named actors on January 11, 2021.
Oh, and don't forget the Russian-linked FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, who later pleaded guilty to making the entire Burisma bribery story up.
The record exists and we have all the receipts, and more.

Donald Trump lost Georgia in 2020. That's not my opinion, it's a fact. The votes were counted, recounted, audited, and litigated.
He lost.

Investment accounts owned by President Trump engaged in more than 300 previously undisclosed stock purchases on April 8, 2025, one day before his surprise announcement that he would pause a number of his tariffs, his financial disclosure report says. nbcnews.com/business/markets…
The current administration is attempting to rewrite the historical record of January 6, 2021. It needs to be kept alive through social media so that future generations can be educated about this attack on our democracy. Here is an archive kept by NPR. apps.npr.org/jan-6-archive/d…
