  3. “We have been receiving troubling reports that you may be using part of the budget of the FBI as a personal slush fund to make tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in unlawful ‘bonus’ payments to loyalist MAGA henchmen who have engaged in misconduct,” says a letter from Rep. Jamie Raskin to Patel.

  5. > Reforms that would break the supermajority right-wing Court’s grip on the country — its operating as a legislative veto for Democratic administrations and a hall pass for Republican ones — would go far beyond docket management and ethics reforms, though. Term limits, court packing, jurisdiction stripping — the ideas lighting up the intellectual left and spreading to Democratic officials would overhaul the Court as we know it.

    There’s a Way to Stop Trump’s #IRS #SlushFund

    by #JamieRaskin

    These days it takes a spectacular burst of #corruption to get the attention of our scandal-weary nation, but #Trump & his admin have managed, once again, to transfix Americans by establishing a $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund in the #DOJ that will undoubtedly be used to line the pockets of Trump’s partisans & foot soldiers — with your tax dollars.

  8. #JamieRaskin also says, if #Democrats take back one or both chambers of #Congress, they will shut down this crazy illegal #MAGASlushFund, & use #oversight power to compel release of a list of any / all payments made between now & 2027.

    So #VOTE!!!!!!

  10. > We, the American people, want affordable gas, groceries and health care. Republicans in Congress are giving us bloviating culture war attacks on religious liberty instead ....

    The real threat to our Constitution comes not from adherents of a particular religion, but from turning our backs on the Constitution and the First Amendment. Our freedoms are not under siege by a religious minority trying to build a community center, but they are undermined by lawmakers who would want to turn Americans against each other on a religious basis.

    -- Rep. Jamie Raskin

  11. This conversation, for better or worse, is a lot less partisan and a lot more academic than one might expect. Jamie Raskin, is of course a warrior for #Democracy.He is also an instructor in constitutional law, so emphasis is on what things actually mean

    “The framers were much more afraid of what one mad King might do or somebody drunk on power might do, rather than the representatives of all the people…”

  13. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) was given a DOJ memo revealing that Special Counsel Jack Smith had gathered evidence that President Trump appeared to have a business motive for keeping classified documents after he left office.

  15. ⬆️ >> another reason to keep trying to vote out the #republican party is so there's a better chance of one day investigating these horrifying allegations [ against #Trump ]

    No chance.

    That chance came in 2020 and went away in 2024 with unmitigated failures (thread above).

    #Biden could have picked his AG from any number of excellent #Democrats, including #KamalaHarris, #AdamSchiff, and #JamieRaskin, but he ruled out ALL Democrats and installed a non-Democrat for his AG.

  16. ⬆️ @markmetz

    >> It shoulda been #Kamala, not Merrick as AG.

    #Biden could have picked his AG from any number of excellent #Democrats, including #KamalaHarris, #AdamSchiff, and #JamieRaskin, but he decided to rule out ALL Democrats for that very important position.

    And people are telling me Biden is not responsible for the failures (plural) of his DOJ headed by a non-Democrat?

    We didn't vote for Biden to install a non-Democrat for AG. That's ignoring people's mandate.

  17. #JamieRaskin also insinuated that the #US is less safe because of #KristiNoem’s “leadership” of the #DHS.

    "You've turned our government against our people, & you've turned our people against our government," Raskin said. "But the people are winning today, although we know we must continue to wake up every day like the people of #Minneapolis, & go out & fight for constitutional #freedom."

  18. Rep #JamieRaskin said that after #ReneeGood & #AlexPretti's deaths in January, #KristiNoem launched a "smear campaign" against them as she made comments that labeled their conduct as "domestic terrorism."

    "You've provided no evidence to back up your defamatory lie against either of these American citizens," Raskin said.
