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.

Just as trump has used the American military to become the aggressor against innocent nations victims.
"It cannot be stated often enough or vociferously enough: the Trump Administration is helping Russia to conquer Ukraine.  The United States of America has taken the side of an aggressor against its innocent victim." By my @AEI colleague @KoriSchake. aei.org/foreign-and-defense-…

🚨A Wichita, Kansas man who spent years preaching conservative Christian morality on Facebook has been arrested on a child m*lestation charge, and his past is far darker than his feed ever let on. Deputies arrested 50-year-old James Wells on Friday. Prosecutors say he fondled a child in August 2025, and he is being held on a $500,000 bond. This isn’t his first run-in with the law. He was previously convicted of similar crimes in Nemaha County. Kansas registry records show Wells was convicted in 2007 on two counts of aggravated indecent liberties /intercourse (r*pe) with a child. Those records list the victim as a 7-year-old girl and show lifetime registration. Meanwhile, his Facebook page was a steady stream of piety and politics. In 2013, he posted, “Let’s stop child abuse... Together we can do it.” In 2017, he used a profile picture reading “I Stand for the flag” and “I Kneel at the cross.” In 2019, his profile picture carried the caption “It was my sins that nailed Him on the cross.” In 2024, he challenged Christians to share a post calling drag queens performing the Last Supper at the Olympics did “ghastly and an abomination.” He also shared a 9/11 meme that griped about “Rampant Muslim immigration” and complaining that “Barack Hussein Obama”’s name is too Muslim-sounding. It’s always the conservatives who point the finger at minorities that are outing themselves as the real threats.

A judge orders Greg Abbott to release over 1,000 pages of “embarrassing and intimate” communications with Elon Musk. Texas State Rep. Gina Hinojosa asked the court to order the release of the unredacted communications amid Musk’s campaign contributions to Abbott and tax breaks Abbott awarded to Musk’s companies. @MeidasTouch

Grok says the best estimates show @elonmusk is responsible for at least 500,000 deaths so far and millions over the coming years due to his destruction of USAID.
Replying to @joshrogin
Reliable estimates vary by methodology and assumptions. A July 2025 Lancet study projected over 14 million excess deaths by 2030 (uncertainty 8.5-19.7 million), including 4.5 million children under 5, from an 83% USAID cut, based on historical mortality reductions. Center for Global Development analyses of 2025 spending put annual lives lost at 500,000-1.6 million. Boston University’s Impact Counter estimated 750,000-781,000 deaths in the first year. Actual totals remain uncertain due to disrupted data and other factors.

The president and First Lady probably met through a pedophile sex trafficker and Trump faces a new allegation of rape today but it’s hardly making front page news
"The evidence, much of it still hiding behind redactions in DOJ vaults, shows that Trump lied about kicking Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club and strongly suggests that Epstein introduced Trump to his wife @MELANIATRUMP." democrats-judiciary.house.go…

Okay, I will admit that Norway does have one or two good things going for them.... But they fail in the only thing that matters. What a shithouse country.

The man peddled a drug that didn’t work…with no remorse. Why should Ohio put themselves in the hands of a man with zero morals, zero conscience, zero respect #VoteBlue
#OHPol: "Amy Acton is from Youngstown. Spent her entire career helping people. Vivek? He peddled a drug for Alzheimer's patients that didn't work. Now he's a billionaire ... Jeep people built Ohio. Jet people like Vivek Ramaswamy fly right over it." Ohioans for Lower Costs is up with this new #OHGov ad.

She got what she voted for.... Meet die-hard MAGAt and three-time Trump supporter Sandra Hafraoui, an administrative professional who spent years enthusiastically voting for aggressive mass deportations, completely confident her own front door was bulletproof. Her politics were beautifully simple: robust border walls, uncompromising immigration enforcement, and absolute faith that the MAGA machine would strictly target "the worst of the worst" while bypassing her comfortable American life. That blind faith shattered on August 11 at Newark Liberty International Airport when ICE agents intercepted her Moroccan-born husband, Abdellatif, as the couple tried to board a flight for a Florida vacation. It turns out the federal immigration apparatus doesn't pause to check your spouse's voting record before enforcing an in absentia deportation order left behind by a fraudulent lawyer who was federally sentenced back in 2013 for scamming clients. The exact system Sandra cheered on treated her husband precisely like the people she voted to expel. He was shipped across facilities from New Jersey to Arizona, subjected to sleep deprivation, and thrown into solitary confinement for 10 days for refusing a forced flight, leaving Sandra to scramble for a $15,000 bond until his eventual release on November 26 after 108 days of state-sponsored trauma. The staggering hypocrisy is a masterclass in political myopia. Sandra openly admitted she supported these brutal policies under the assumption they would only happen to other families, only discovering the cruelty of the system once it directly ruined her life and drained her bank account.
