Patel told the world the FBI is going to arrest people this week for Trump’s bogus claims of election fraud.

One thing I’m sure we will not see is credible proof that the 2020 election was fraudulent. The conspiracy to steal that election was laid bare for all to see in Smith’s indictment of Trump.

Cops are such fucking cowards. Anything more than beating up innocent protestors from behind a wall of military hardware and they shit their pants & freeze.

On a particularly maddening day in Congress, we heard the following:

“Sock puppets”

“Dirt bags”

“Rats penis”

“Whale heads”

Yet we heard precious little about authorizing war in Iran or reopening the Dept of Homeland Security

Our Afghan allies provided critical support to U.S. forces for over 20 years, but the Trump-Vance Administration has turned its back on them and their families, shutting down key resettlement programs. The idea that we’re now in talks to send as many as 1,100 Afghans, whom we have already evacuated, to the DRC—a country with severe political instability, violence, and a massive refugee and humanitarian crisis—is insane. [1/2]

We told these Afghans that we would help ensure their safety after they helped us. We have an obligation to follow through on our promise because it’s the right thing to do, and because going back on our word will only make it harder for us to build the kinds of partnerships we may need to advance our national security in the future. [2/2]

My statement on reports that the Trump-Vance Administration may send Afghans, including those who served with the U.S. military and more than 400 children, to the Congo:

"This is an important thing to think about."

Warren: "Why try to end independence of the Fed? Bc Trump's economic failures are causing him political problems, he wants the Fed to artificially juice the economy Having a sock puppet in charge of the Fed would also give the president access to the Fed's powerful authorities to enrich himself"

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

The media blackout of Jared Kushner’s historic, ongoing corruption scandal As Trump's son-in-law returns to Pakistan for more talks with Iran, major news outlets are largely ignoring an egregious

As Trump's war on Iran continues, reminder that his own son-in-law Jared Kushner — who is leading negotiations with Iran — stands to profit from lucrative contracts with its regional rivals.

War gives dictators like Trump (and his family) more power and more wealth.

Donations to a presidential library are a tax write off. These corporations are funneling money to Trump and getting it as a tax write off.

Joseph Schwartz’s case is the latest in a string of health care fraud pardons by Trump.

The president also granted clemency to nursing home magnate Philip Esformes, convicted of a $1.3B scheme, and Judith Negron, convicted in a $200M fraud case.
