We already knew that Emil Bove was unfit to serve as a federal judge. Now we see additional confirmation of that fact. How can we trust someone with such contempt of the law to be a fair arbiter of the law?

I’m heading to the Senate floor because Donald Trump and Elon Musk have shown a complete disregard for the rule of law, the Constitution, and the needs of the American people. You can tune in on CSPAN, YouTube, X, and Facebook.

Senate will soon vote on 3 top DOJ nominees: Reitz, Sauer and Dhillon, who refused to say Trump Admin must follow federal court orders. Time for Senate to be with the people - who rely on courts to protect them from abuses of power by a would-be king. thehill.com/opinion/white-…

On Trump defying court orders. WSJ: “[T]he Administration can appeal whatever ruling Judge Boasberg hands down, and the case will go up the appellate chain, perhaps as far as the Supreme Court. What the Administration can’t do is defy a court order without being lawless itself.”

Trump says he’ll protect women but fails the Tate test: thehill.com/opinion/white-… Trump claimed not to know about WH helping Tates. "I’m going to assume that’s about as true as his claim to know nothing about Project 2025 ..or his telling American women, “I will be your protector.”
