Dear American people: If any of you are called to serve as jurors or grand jurors in a federal case, remember that @AGToddBlanche brags that he has no independence from trump.
When you vote, remember that the trump DOJ is enforcing the rule of trump instead of the rule of law.
It was once extremely rare for grand jurors to rebuff prosecutors and turn down a request for an indictment, given that the Justice Department has traditionally sought criminal charges only in cases it expects to win. But prosecutors have become increasingly convinced they will be unable to bring any indictment that is seen as political while Trump is in office.

Dear @AGToddBlanche: Republicans failed to do basic oversight over your abuse of power. That failure ends 11/3.
Your unethical and illegal conduct, as well as your enablers, will be shown to the American people and to relevant current and future authorities.
November is coming.
Federal grand juries approve 99.9% of indictments. The Trump admin has failed with:
Cassidy Hutchinson
Letitia James
Sens. Mark Kelly & Elissa Slotkin
Reps. Jason Crow, Chrissy Houlahan, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander
Sean Dunn
Sidney Reid (three times)
Nathalie Jones
I could go on. Whatever your politics, it’s not a great look.
It is possible there is a systematic polling error in favor of Democrats for the midterms. However, I simply note that Republicans believe the same data we are seeing. Otherwise Republicans wouldn’t be spending so much time and money defending deep red territory.
President Trump is barnstorming deep-red states across the country to defend GOP majorities in Congress as Democrats make inroads in some unlikely places.
The president has made 19 stops to states he handily won and six to battlegrounds since Sept. 9, according to ABC News tracking.

As a former prosecutor, I agree with the saying that any prosecutor “can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich.”
So when the grand jury refused to indict Cassidy Hutchinson, that means there was no real evidence. Another huge embarrassment for the corrupt @AGToddBlanche.
Breaking news: A grand jury rejected the DOJ’s attempt to indict former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson for the account she gave lawmakers of President Trump’s actions during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to people familiar with the matter. wapo.st/4jFAkbz

Dear @WhiteHouse: Artificial Intelligence is what normal folks call AI. trump’s decision to let AI run wild was a horrible decision. Trying to rename AI doesn’t change that.
Also, POTUS can’t compel speech from Americans. So take your anti-First Amendment crap and shove it.
Donald Trump says "artificial intelligence" is a very bad and inaccurate name" and wants to replace it with "super intelligence."
"In short order, we will be officially BANNING the term, ‘AI/Artificial Intelligence,’ in all relevant documents, and everything else, due to its inaccuracy. Thank you for your attention to this matter."

As a lifelong Browns fan, I simply note that former Browns’ quarterbacks Johnny Manziel and Colt McCoy were failures.
News: Trump is bringing three football stars — Johnny Manziel, Colt McCoy and Danny Amendola — onto the campaign trail in Texas tomorrow
The play: Turn football fans into midterm voters — especially the young men who helped Trump win in '24

Dear @AGToddBlanche: A federal judge called the trump DOJ’s argument “frivolous” and ordered the reinstatement of prosecutor Maurene Comey.
This is what happens when you try to enforce the rule of trump instead of the rule of law. You get smacked down.
November is coming.
🚨 NEWS: A federal judge has ruled that the Trump DOJ ILLEGALLY fired prosecutor Maurene Comey, ordering retroactive reinstatement and backpay.
The judge ripped the DOJ’s defense as bordering on “frivolous” and rejected its sweeping claims of executive power. meidasnews.com/news/trump-do…
A blanket presidential pardon for crimes that have never been charged has never been fully litigated.
People committing crimes for trump, or in connection with trump, take the risk that they will be successfully prosecuted by a future DOJ.
The president is considering mass pardons for his enablers. But they’d be foolish to assume the next administration will honor them. lawyeroyer.com/p/buyer-bewar…
HEADLINE: trump is bragging about making money while people are suffering at the pump.

A new personalized mRNA vaccine for melanoma is being hailed by some oncologists as a breakthrough after reducing the risk of cancer recurrence and death by 42% compared with standard treatment in a late-stage clinical trial. nbcnews.com/health/cancer/pe…
Brent crude oil at over $117 per barrel is very high.
Gas and diesel prices will continue to skyrocket based on the failed policies of trump and his Republican enablers.
November is coming.
Democrats will reverse Republican cuts to healthcare and increase funding to NIH. Americans deserve to get life saving treatments and the benefits of medical breakthroughs.
November is coming.
Moderna and Merck’s personalized mRNA cancer vaccine reduced melanoma recurrence by 42%. We already have a vaccine that prevents cancer (HPV). Now we’re going to have vaccines individually targeted to treat your cancer. This is the same technology that our government cut NIH support by $500 million. statnews.com/2026/10/22/esmo… via @statnews

Brent crude oil exceeded $113 per barrel and West Texas Intermediate went over $100 per barrel, again.
