Trump officials who commit crimes should face accountability, and when I said that out loud, the Trump administration and his allies took it personally.
That should tell you something.

BREAKING: Senate Majority PAC is launching a statewide ad campaign SLAMMING Roger Marshall for having his own patients arrested for medical debt.
He went after patients who owed as little as $101. That’s pure greed.

This hero is reportedly Somali-American, but the usual suspects on here don't seem so keen to point that out in this case...
A Minnesota man is opening up after he saved nearly 20 children when their school bus driver suffered a medical emergency.

It's quite surprising how so few Democrats are talking about tariffs, given how unpopular they are.
We're talking with NY-21's @BlakeGendebien — nobody quite expected this Canada border seat to become so competitive, but tariffs are one reason why.

.@SenatorSlotkin is a patriot, who has sworn an oath to serve multiple times. She called out blatant corruption and she was right to do so.
It's unacceptable to use the justice system to threaten your political opponents. These continued attacks against her are dangerous, and they are offensive to the ideals we all hold as Americans. It needs to stop.
Just a few hours ago, President Trump said in the Oval Office that I should be tried in court because I dared to talk about the corruption coming out of the White House.
If I've learned one thing from this past year, it's that you have to push back. I'm not going to be intimidated out of standing up for the rule of law and the country that has given me everything.

"If AOC is trying to memory hole past wokeness like it’s an ill-advised Mumford & Sons phase, she’s doing it in a weird way. Since her remark, she has repeated virtually every trope that most people now agree was, indeed, crazy with four 'y's." (link in next tweet)

Meet Jon Husted, the Republican nominee for Senate in Ohio.
Husted was at the center of the largest bribery scandal in the state’s history, selling out Ohioans to pass a billion-dollar bailout for the utility company that funneled $1 million to his gubernatorial campaign.
Ohio deserves better.
Who is Andy Biggs?
The Arizona Congressman has a number of ties to white supremacists and antisemitic movements. Biggs labeled Judaism a “death cult” and called for a “final solution” that involves the deportation of American Jews.
In 2023, Biggs co-sponsored a Proud Boys rally. This November, he’s up for re-election.

Really fun @JeffMightBWrong piece about AOC renouncing "woke 1" and then jumping feet first into woke 2

At best disingenuous by Ro. The permitting deal would impose the first binding requirements on data centers to pay for electricity infrastructure it uses and more, and give states the ability to put more standards in place. Meanwhile, the status quo he’s abetting does nothing.

If you commit a criminal act or use taxpayer dollars in a way that violates the law, you should be held accountable. President Trump and his allies have used manufactured outrage about what I said because they wanna talk about anything but what's going on right now in places like Michigan.
"A moderate who does nothing in moderation." Great profile of TW friend Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins the next Gov of AK and a Dem. I met him 15 years ago. Impressive dude! nytimes.com/2026/10/21/us/po…

I have been clear for some time on where I stand on prosecuting corruption and illegal acts.
In a speech a few weeks ago, I said we need to hold accountable the people and institutions who stole billions of our taxpayer dollars and weaponized the government against its people. And we need a list of signature cases that go after some of the most obvious and harmful abuses of taxpayer dollars.
If Kristi Noem steered $200 million in taxpayer dollars to a friend's company to make her TV ads, as GOP sources suggest, she should be held accountable.
If Doug Burgum gave a $13 million no-bid contract for the reflecting pool, he should be held accountable.
And if Jeanine Pirro used the Department of Justice to go after the president's enemies without any legal basis, she should lose her law license, in line with the law.
