Needs to be an everyday demand! Journalists should also ask relentlessly. Remember #January6th.
“Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin asked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday to confirm he won’t send U.S. troops to polling places during November’s midterm elections…”

Sen. John Ossoff said about his Republican opponent Mike Collins:
"What he is saying to people of Georgia is after cutting their #healthcare, throwing 300,000 of them off their health insurance, doubling health insurance premiums for one million Georgians, he is then going to take their tax dollars and pay it out to violent criminals."

Donald Trump claimed: "Gov. Kathy Hochul has been very very bad on crime — a nightmare for crime.”
The real nightmare for crime is Donald Trump who is a convicted criminal. Trump pardoned many other convicted criminals who engaged in the attacks on government officers on #January6th 2021. He is trying to use taxpayers money to pay those violent goons. Trump also pardoned other criminals, sometimes reportedly in exchange for bribes. As the #MostCorruptPresidentEver, Trump is very bad on crime.

#AIPAC, after spending tens of millions of dollars to defeat Abdul El-Sayed in the primaries, plans to spend even more for his Republican Party opponent in the general election.
Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez wrote: "I appreciate AIPAC proving it doesn’t belong in the Democratic Party and especially in our primaries. From endorsing #January6th members to ensuring Congress remains in the hands of a 34-count felon, AIPAC is an organization committed to undermining democracy at home and abroad."

Instead of using this money to reduce #healthcare costs, Donald Trump will use the money on the failed #IranWar and his future wars, and for more tax cuts for the rich. Trump's unnecessary wars, his personal corruption, the help he gives to #January6th convicted criminals, his terrorizing undocumented immigrants, his undermining American allies, and his appointment of terrible people to positions of power, are some of the reasons why Trump is the #WorstPresidentEver. copy: @renewedresistance

"let’s be very clear about what it [ #IRS deal/ #SlushFund ] really does. It’s a vehicle for Trump himself.... We’re talking about a potential waiver of tax investigations & audits into his own finances. With all of his schemes, that possibly covers BILLIONS of dollars in #tax liability. The cash for #January6th insurrectionists, as horrifying at it is, is also a cover story for #Trump to enrich himself"

Former Rep. Kevin McCarthy said: "Nancy Pelosi would yell at me. And then they would put magnetometers to try to deny us from entering the House."
Aaron Fritschner wrote in reply: "Pelosi yelled at McCarthy because McCarthy supported the attempted overthrow of the government on #January6th. Pelosi installed magnetometers because Republican Party members were illegally bringing guns and knives into the House chamber."

It’s not going well for Trump and his toady ‘lawyer’. No way should the Trump family IRS immunity wrapped up in the #January6th slush fund stand!

In fairness to Donald Trump, he does not only protect pedophiles. Trump also pardoned convicted criminals who assaulted police officers on #January6th 2021. Trump also pardoned Michele Fiore, a politician convicted for pocketing $70,000 in donations intended to build a memorial for police officers killed in the line of duty, but she spent it instead on herself, including rent and for her daughter's wedding":

The forewarned - but ignored until #September11th - attack on the World Trade Center, along with the costly ($3+ trillion) and deadly (3,000+ #American military deaths) #quagmire in #Iraq , as well as the 2008 Financial Crisis were ‘revenge of the C students.’ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2015/05/17/george-w-bush-c-students-president-graduation/27488795/

When Democrats had the majority in the House, Republicans had the opportunity to name someone to the #January6th Committee. When Rep. Jim Jordan was named, Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected that name because he was viewed as having no integrity. Jordan, now asking that the corrupt Department of Justice investigate Jack Smith, is more evidence of the lack of integrity of Rep. Jordan.

Leaks are dribbling out about Trump’s gaslighting rage propaganda speech. Yet, underpinning it all will be his desperation. For attention and distraction. Hoping to intimidate and dominate. Aiming to incite his cult mob (elected + voters) into #January6th like frenzy.

Norm Eisen: "Todd Blanche helped engineer a $1.8B taxpayer slush fund—payouts for #January6th rioters who attacked cops, and a backdoor blanket pardon for Trump. Now he wants to be Attorney General."

"Sen. Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, died of a brief and sudden illness":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUZEtVbJT5c
Immediately after the #January6th attack on the Capitol, Sen. Lindsey Graham wisely condemned Donald Trump's role in the attack, saying:"Count me out. Enough is enough" before he surrendered to Trump and he again continued to support whatever Trump did:

“By the government’s own telling, this is exactly the kind of case that President Trump’s January 20, 2025 Presidential Pardon was invoked to reach,” -Defense for alleged #Trump pardoned #January6th #MAGA bomber before judge ruled trial could continue anyway despite Trump's corrupt mass pardons of his insurrectionist.

Just so you know. If no one among his regime or Republicans rein him in Trump will incite horrendous, violent and dangerous events.
I expect his speech at the Texas “midterm convention” to be another very direct call to violence like #January6th 2021. “Fight like hell…”. Aimed at all of America.

Two Hundred Fifty Years of What, and What For?
A drummer boy surfaced in my pocket change this week, on a quarter so worn his tricorn hat has gone soft at the edges. The Mint struck him by the hundreds of millions for the Bicentennial, Jack Ahr's little colonial drummer with the dual date 1776-1976 stamped beneath his heels, and fifty years later he still turns up in laundromats and bodegas like a veteran who never quite made it home. I was eleven when that coin was new. Holding it on a Tuesday in Jersey City, the day the country turns two hundred fifty, I felt the whole distance between that summer and this one settle into my palm, small and cold.

"In response to Pres. Donald Trump’s $1.776 billion fund benefiting individuals connected to the #January6th attack on the U.S. Capitol, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation implementing California’s response. The new law imposes a 100% California tax on distributions from the fund, ensuring California will not provide tax benefits associated with payments to individuals convicted of crimes related to the attack":

Matthew Yglesias: "Donald Trump does things that are shockingly corrupt, like the cryptocurrency scams or having his kids roam the world making various business deals while also serving as key advisors. And a lot of it is menacing and authoritarian, like pardoning the #January6th rioters. Trump also devoted extra taxpayer resources to civic improvements in the nation’s very blue capital city. This is extraordinarily wasteful, undisciplined, and at times appallingly devoted to his own ego."

Nick Bryant calls this decade #TheTerribleTwenties because it includes: "The COVID pandemic. The #January6th insurrection. Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The Hamas terrorist attack on Israel on October 7th, 2023, and the Netanyahu government’s brutal response. The Trump restoration, and all that has flowed from it, including the greening of the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall."

#BradleyCooper is starring in a major #Hollywood film about #January6th directed by #SeanPenn.
The officers who were beaten that day are going to have their stories told to millions of people.
Justice comes in many forms.
This is one of them.
