Trump urged Republican lawmakers to “defund” the Justice Department and the FBI on Wed., a day after his historic indictment and casting himself as the victim of law enforcement agencies he claims have been hijacked by the left to prevent him from being re-elected president.

As Donald Trump challenges the legitimacy of our criminal justice system, let us give him the equal protection and due process he’s deprived everyone he’s accused of a crime. Justice benefits all of us.

The indictment of a former president is a somber day for America. It’s also a time to put faith in our judicial system. Donald Trump deserves every protection provided to him by the Constitution. As that unfolds, let us neither celebrate nor destroy. Justice benefits us all.

Alvin Bragg has irreparably damaged our country in an attempt to interfere in our Presidential election. As he routinely frees violent criminals to terrorize the public, he weaponized our sacred system of justice against President Donald Trump. The American people will not… Show more

More Boebert cringe. My takeaway: public urination is a criminal offense. Luckily for Lauren, public humiliation is not.

Kevin McCarthy enables and condones Trump’s violent rhetoric. RT if he should condemn this act of violence carried out in Trump’s name.

If you don’t trust teachers choosing the books in their classrooms, spare us your ideas on arming those teachers to protect your kids.

I watched this footage and have 2 thoughts: 1) that could have been any of our kids’ school. It’s hard to watch without seeing your own child in that school. 2) thank you to the police heroes who killed the shooter. They went in not knowing whether they would come out.

House Dems Vice Chair Ted Lieu calls GOP “cowards” for canceling gun hearing a day after Nashville school mass shooting: “If they honestly believe, as they say, that arming more Americans… would make us safer, they would’ve held the hearing… They ran away, and they’re hiding.”

Mr. President: I'm incredibly concerned you are putting an already fragile economy in jeopardy by insisting upon your extreme position on the debt limit. It’s time to drop partisanship, roll up our sleeves, & find common ground on this urgent challenge. bit.ly/LimitSaveGrow

🚨#BREAKING McCarthy’s GOP has *postponed* their hearing to help mass shooters. Postponed *NOT* cancelled. Which means they fear the optics not the policy. That is consciousness of guilt.

At least 3 children are dead in another school shooting. Yet the GOP-led Judiciary Committee is passing a resolution tomorrow to make it easier for mass shooters to obtain pistol stabilizing braces. They must cancel this hearing now.

The right to be free from fear in the classroom and return home after school is greater than the right to unrestricted weaponry.
