Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski says the Trump DOJ is engaging in coercion and must be investigated
Sen. Lisa Murkowski endorses blocking Fed nominees over the Jerome Powell investigation:
"[I]t's clear the administration's investigation is nothing more than an attempt at coercion."
"My colleague, Senator Tillis, is right in blocking any Federal Reserve nominees until this is resolved."
We are NOT the same. Democrats are out protesting and fighting for our country and MAGA are licking boots.
I am a proud public school dad running for Congress because I believe we need a House that will stand up to this Administration's efforts to decimate the Department of Education. When I get to D.C., I will protect public education.

NEWS: Sen. Mark Kelly is suing DOD & Pete Hegseth over what's described as their lawless attempt to silence a sitting U.S. Senator. The 7-count complaint alleges violations of the First Amendment, Due Process, and Speech or Debate Clause.
🚨"We've got a Honduran here"
A SWARM of Border Patrol agents violently invaded a Minneapolis gas station—crushing car windows, tackling and brutalizing drivers, and taking several. We've confirmed at least one of them was U.S. CITIZEN Lalo Rios Meza.
Breaking MS NOW:
The Justice Department has fired the No. 2 official in the U.S. Attorney's office for the Eastern District of Virginia after he declined to lead the controversial prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey, according to multiple people briefed on the matter.
Sen. Kelly: Pete Hegseth is coming after what I earned through my twenty-five years of military service, in violation of my rights as an American, as a retired veteran, and as a United States Senator whose job is to hold him—and this or any administration—accountable. His unconstitutional crusade against me sends a chilling message to every retired member of the military: if you speak out and say something that the President or Secretary of Defense doesn’t like, you will be censured, threatened with demotion, or even prosecuted. Every servicemember knows military rank is earned, not given. It's earned through the risks you take, the sacrifices you and your family make, the leadership you display, and the respect you earn from the superiors who recommend you for promotion. From the moment I drove through the gates of Naval Air Station Pensacola, to when I was shot at over Iraq and Kuwait, to when I landed Space Shuttle Endeavour on its last mission, I gave everything I had to this country and I earned my rank of Captain, United States Navy. Now, Pete Hegseth wants our longest-serving military veterans to live with the constant threat that they could be deprived of their rank and pay years or even decades after they leave the military just because he or another Secretary of Defense doesn’t like what they’ve said. That’s not the way things work in the United States of America, and I won’t stand for it. In 1986, at just 22 years old, I took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution. I have fulfilled that oath every day since, but I never expected that I would have to defend it against a Secretary of Defense or President. But I’ve never shied away from a fight for our country, and I won’t shy away from this one. Because our freedom of speech, the separation of powers, and due process are not just words on a page, they are bedrock principles of our democracy that has lasted 250 years and will last 250 more as long as patriotic Americans are willing to stand up for…

A crowd of nurses raises their hands while on strike.
Nurses show up in our darkest moments. 9/11. The pandemic. Every illness and emergency. Their worth is not negotiable. Fair pay, safe conditions, dignity now. NYC stands with nurses and demands good faith bargaining for justice and care for all.
Mayor Mamdani stands behind a podium in a sound stage with Commissioner Rafael Espinal and City Council Speaker Julie Menin.

Today we commit to making New York affordable not just for artists, but for making art. We are proud to name Rafael Espinal as Commissioner of MOME as we stand with union workers and usher in a new golden age of NYC creativity.
Kim: I was having a conversation with someone within his administration, we were talking about something we disagreed with the president on. And they were just like, “Let’s just not talk about this and keep it quiet, and maybe he’ll forget about it.” Literally—someone on his own team was saying this
Gifford: This ridiculous rhetoric by the president—it’s going to impact every single American because it makes them lose faith in us.
That makes them less likely to travel here, buy American products, or invest here. This broken trust—the work of diplomacy—is very hard to build back.
Trump says civil rights-era protections resulted in white people being "very badly treated."
"... it also hurt a lot of people — people that deserve to go to a college or deserve to get a job were unable to get a job. So it was, it was a reverse discrimination."

NEWS: Attorney General Ellison and cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul SUE the Trump Administration to halt ICE surge into Minnesota
Reporter: Is the DOJ being weaponized against the Fed? Against Powell?
Kelly: I see huge issues with that they are doing to him and it seems to be a pattern.
Kelly: Hegseth doesn’t have a right to infringe on my constitutional rights, or the constitutional rights of hundreds of thousands of retired service members who could, on the whim of this Secretary of Defense, lose what they earned through their service.
A statement from Mayor Mamdani reading: I am outraged to hear a New York City Council employee was detained in Nassau County by federal immigration officials at a routine immigration appointment. This is an assault on our democracy, on our city, and our values. I am calling for his immediate release and will continue to monitor the situation.
This is the same playbook Trump used with banks & other investors for decades. Get them so deep into your mess that they end up even worse if they allow you to fail. So he argues they have to stick with him or everything will fall apart and be a disaster. Too leveraged to fail.
Jesus even our bombers are just dickheads in masks
