In July 2025, the former criminal division chief appointed to replace Alina Habba in New Jersey after she was declared unlawfully appointed was fired. In February, an experienced litigator with more than 50 years of experience in upstate New York was fired less than four hours after he assumed the role. A week later, a longtime defense attorney was fired in Virginia just two hours after he was appointed to replace Lindsey Halligan after her appointment was found to be unlawful.

Sam Stein (@samstein): This is really incredible. Docs released by Trump tonight confirm RUSSIA tried to spread claims Biden was engaged in criminal activity vis-a-vis Burisma and that it advanced those narratives "with US officials" and planed a "high-profile corruption scandal... at the peak of the 2020 US presidential campaign." Below the post are two heavily redacted, declassified intelligence-document excerpts. Red circles highlight passages describing Russian officials and proxies spreading and intensifying allegations against Biden during the 2020 election campaign.

Port calls, women in Asia, you better be careful. Because these guys are going to be wild animals and you better watch out.” Below it, verified account Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan) writes: “A Fox host joking about US soldiers r*ping women.Well done Rupert Murdoch, well done.” Verified account Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkowski) replies: “Fox is a disgusting, toxic, revolting network that platforms the worst of humanity, peddles in lies, and pays people well to put it all on full display. But this seems to be what their viewers want, which says a lot about them as well.”

“BIDEN IS NOT PRESIDENT OBAMA IS NOT PRESIDENT NEWSOM IS NOT PRESIDENT HARRIS IS NOT PRESIDENT CLINTON IS NOT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS PRESIDENT… AND HE’S TO BLAME FOR EVERY SHITTY THING THAT HAS HAPPENED IN AMERICA”
Hunter Biden (@HunterBiden): “When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain. A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: ‘If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.’ That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love. I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.” 9:01 AM · 7/12/26 · 426K views
Tammy Duckworth (@SenDuckworth): “Allow me to explain what’s happening here. The biggest bipartisan housing bill in 30 years is about to become law without any help from Donald Trump, who ran on lowering costs for the middle class, because he’s mad Congress wouldn’t help him suppress the will of voters. Can’t imagine a worse hill to die on.”
“The appearance of Federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the Constitution and the press freedom it protects. Our journalists report the facts and advance the American public’s right to know how their government is operating and their taxpayer dollars are being used. This brazen act should be seen as nothing more than an attempt to prevent the public from knowing what is happening in their country by intimidating journalists from doing their jobs.” — David McCraw, Senior Vice President and Deputy General Counsel The New York Times
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Robert Mueller just died. Good, I'm glad he's dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people! President DONALD J. TRUMP Jon Favreau @jonfavs One day, Donald Trump will die, and his supporters will try to punish the people who say things like this.

Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom I’ll make it easy for you: If you want ICE shooting & killing hardworking immigrants who’ve been in this country for 35 years, raising children, paying taxes, starting businesses, and becoming involved members of their community, then vote Republican in November. If you don’t want ICE shooting & killing these hardworking immigrants, then vote Democrat this November. The choice is that easy.
**PROPUBLICA** **Trump Pushes Out Remaining Members of Bipartisan Election Commission Ahead of Midterms** **Mark Warner @MarkWarner · 3h** Reports that the White House has dismissed the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission — all of whom were unanimously confirmed by the Senate, including a commissioner appointed by President Trump himself — should concern every American, regardless of party, because the EAC was established by Congress as an independent, bipartisan body to help states administer secure and credible elections. If these reports are accurate, removing every remaining commissioner just months before the 2026 midterm elections is an extraordinary step that demands an immediate explanation from the administration and raises profound concerns about political interference in the institutions that support our elections.
Tammy Duckworth @TammyDuckworth Maine deserves better than someone who put his public image before the safety of our veterans. Too many of our heroes lost their lives under Nirav Shah’s watch as Illinois Public Health Director. I called for his resignation then, and I strongly oppose his run for Senate now.
Roy Cohn whispered to Joseph McCarthy Beginning in 1950, Senator McCarthy became the most visible public face of a period in the United States in which Cold War tensions fueled fears of widespread communist subversion.

A Facebook post from “True Blue” shows a blue-to-purple gradient image with large white bold text reading: “If capitalism is so great, why do corporations need tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, bailouts, legal protections, and trade barriers to survive? And when ordinary people ask for help, why is it suddenly called socialism?”
Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof .@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples: *Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village. *Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of his cuts to malaria medication in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village. *Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after he interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him. *Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when Musk cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to the healthcare workers. I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge Musk: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind. Elon Musk @elonmusk Exactly. And they cannot cite a single name of someone who died out of the “millions” they falsely claim have died. Not a single name! x.com/wholemars/stat...

Robert Mahon @bedform.org Apropos of nothing in particular... I'm guessing not a lot of folks have read this section of the 14th amendment Section 4 The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void. 3:32 PM · May 18, 2026 Some people can reply 34 reposts 90 likes 2 saves

Today’s SCOTUS decision tells you: it’s the racim. It’s always been the racim. Trump will enact all their vile, hateful, goblinoid racist policy goals and that’s all Republican voters care about. They hate women. They hate LGBTQ+ folks. But more than anything they will bun this country to ash as long as it means Black folk will burn with them.”

This is all theater and completely unnecessary. They were happy giving the Clintons a free pass for months. We have secured Bondi's appearance for May 29. Today, we're marking up legislation to tackle fraud at the federal level and all Democrats can talk about is Epstein.
