The DOJ was created to increase the capacity for federal prosecutions during Reconstruction esp. those to be brought under the newly enacted KuKlux Klan Act.
Now the DOJ is being used to prosecute a storied civil rights organization whose central mission has been to expose & dismantle the Klan.
Trump’s Civil Rights division at DOJ under Harmeet Dhillon is a disgrace.
Let’s not target white supremacist groups, let’s go after organizations that fight to protect the public from white supremacist groups.
The media’s failure to cover Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner’s ongoing conflicts of interest as he gets billions from the Middle East while being Trump’s negotiator is insane.
(Especially after what they did with Hunter Biden)

A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek), with the handle @magyarpeterMP. The post reads: "Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then — on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office." At the bottom, the timestamp reads "3:04 AM • Apr 21, 2026" alongside "19.9K Views".
Peter Magyar is not playing around at all. He's going to purge every single remnant of corrupt Orbanism. This is exactly how Dems need to be when they retake power.

This is exactly right. It’s not a dilemma though. It’s a line in the sand that will at once once collapse what remains of the rule of law and regulatory infrastructure designed to protect the public.
What’s sad is this level of arrogance and ignorance of history. Erasing the accomplishments of Democrats is MAGAs job. I wish he would use his talents to unite instead of dividing the party.
🔥 Watch Hungary’s prime minister-elect Péter Magyar turn up on this “state media” anchor.
“Every Hungarian deserves a public service media that broadcasts the truth”
It’s no coincidence Trump tried to defund NPR.
Absolutely incredible.

No previous American president, in any era, of any party, would have tolerated a drunken, erratic, absent FBI chief

Too many of our kids are getting killed, because of thoughtless assholes like Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.
This mass shooting today happened in his own district. He said “thoughts and prayers” but did nothing AGAIN.
Remember this when we can take back the House in November.
Trump didn’t create it. Over decades “we” have allowed the Supreme Court to become what it is.
"Secretary Kennedy’s unlawful declaration harmed children,” the Judge wrote.
“This case highlights a leader’s unserious regard for the rule of law...
“Unserious leaders are unsafe."

Not a dime of taxpayer money or govt contracts should go to Palantir.
Worth adding that Russia did as a matter of fact intervene for Trump in 2016 and that the evidence is widely known, abundant, and collected in various forms (🧵 1/3)

It’s arrogance. Like I said he saying no one in the Democratic party in the last 100 years has advocated aggressively for people like he has. It’s ridiculous on its face.
The tone of arrogance makes it clear it’s not a gaffe. This isn’t the first time he’s implied that no one in the Democratic party fought for rights until he came along.

This graphic is a mess. Let’s clean it up.
Opposition infographics are great for outrage, terrible for legal reality. Here’s what’s actually true about Xavier Becerra’s record:

🎯 This is my problem with the Democratic socialist label of this guy. It’s divisive and only serves republicans. Stop bashing Democrats and educate yourself.
📢 We've reached *3000* documented authoritarian-like actions of Trump's second term since Jan 2025...
the two most recent are classic suppression of the press & using the justice system to attack political enemies

Just called my Iowa senators and congresswoman. Asked if there was ANYthing Trump could do or say that would cause them to condemn him publicly and unequivocally. Said that, absent such a condemnation, I have to assume they support these threats of genocide.
Did you pay your taxes? Then you gave $4,049 to war and weapons.
According to the Institute for Policy Studies, taxpayers contributed more to Pentagon contractors ($1,870) than to troops' pay ($770), and more to militarism than programs like school lunches ($124) or the Postal Service ($19).
Except they still depict him as a functional actor here.
If this were anyone else it'd be a 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 story about how the President can't or won't focus on the war he started, which narrative might force the GOP to do something about it.
Children run to Pope Leo.
Need I say more?
There was a time when the president inspired pride instead of exhaustion. I miss that more than I can say.
