“President Trump wants to act like words and facts no longer matter.” @adamsmith.house.gov blasts Pres. Trump’s claim that a ceasefire with Iran is still holding despite the U.S. and Iran trading strikes. Pres. Trump called U.S. strikes on Iran a "love tap" and not a sign the ceasefire was over.
“Trying to bludgeon reality with words.” Former U.S. diplomat Alan Eyre on President Trump’s claims about the status of the Iran war as the U.S. awaits Iran’s response to a peace proposal and as questions surround the tenuous “ceasefire” after both sides traded strikes.

“It's worth potentially billions of dollars.” @lawyeroyer.com explains that while Trump may be barred from being paid in his DOJ settlement, the IRS audit immunity for him, his family, and his businesses could be worth so much more and there may be little any future administration can do about it.
“...total callousness, total lack of understanding [of] how people across this country [are] hurting.” Rep. @debbiedingell.house.gov slams President Trump as the disconnect deepens between his priorities and what the American people want from him, especially as they struggle economically.
“It's not about what a Democratic Department of Justice will do against Republicans. It's about trying to reestablish the rule of law.” @raskin.house.gov talks about the need for accountability against the Trump administration without getting “into a cycle of political vengeance.”
"It’s a signal to people shut up and stay out of politics.” @chrismurphyct.bsky.social on the Justice Department probe of a non-profit linked to billionaire Democratic donor Reid Hoffman over its funding of E. Jean Carroll's legal bills. Carroll won two civil lawsuits against President Trump.

Last night, I spoke to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins about President Trump’s new slushfund of $1.8 billion in taxpayer dollars to pay off his cronies. We can't stand by while he undermines our rule of law and our Constitution.

The US Government is reinstituting a Military Draft starting in December. It’s about damn time. An opportunity for people to show their loyalty. My one concern is anyone that is fraudulently trying to join the military. We need a save act for military. #military #draft #worldwar3 #trump #saveact
Time to rein in utility rate hikes, invest in clean energy, and stop letting power companies pass costs onto the people who can least afford it.
