If you think Jim Jordan won’t pick up where Trump left off, injecting extremist politics into the justice system and trying to shield the MAGA movement from the legal consequences of their actions . . . you must be dreaming.

The name of Jim Jordan's new "Weaponization of the Federal Government" subcommittee is a psychological projection and political confession.
Their obvious—and demonstrable—purpose is to abuse the power of Congress to send Donald Trump back to the White House in 2024.

At today's "Weaponization" hearing, I read some of the threats to school board members that Republicans are turning a blind eye to when they issue partisan subpoenas in this subcommittee.

Today asked the GOP witness Thomas Baker if the J6 attack on the Capitol was an act of domestic terrorism.
Baker: I don't know if it rises to the level of terrorism…
The GOP is proving this new subcommittee is nothing but a way to advance the MAGA agenda.

In 2020, Sens Grassley and Johnson funneled through their committees Russian disinformation provided to them and Rudy Giuliani by a Russian intelligence agent in order to damage candidate Joe Biden.
It was a gross abuse of power and a “weaponization of the federal government.”

The new subcommittee is a smokescreen to shield those who worked to undermine the government during Trump's presidency.
We must call out these extreme Republicans every time they try to hide their own records from the American public.

Instead, Jim Jordan's new subcommittee will investigate those who shed light on Trump’s misuse of the federal government for his own protection and gain during his term. This strategy is from the Trump playbook: blame others for his wrongdoings.

President Trump used the federal government for his own purposes during his term, exposing weaknesses in our system that need examination. To protect our democracy, we must learn from these experiences. But the new House subcommittee will not investigate any of that.

Brandon joined me at my State of the Union tonight.
During a Lunar New Year celebration, he wrestled the semi-automatic pistol away from a gunman who had already killed 11 people.
He saved lives.
It's time we do the same and ban assault weapons once and for all.

That was the same plea of parents who lost their children in Uvalde. Do something on gun violence.
Thank God we did, passing the most sweeping gun safety law in three decades.

When the truth is, refugees are vulnerable individuals fleeing political persecution and torture.
