The House subcommittee just PASSED my motion to subpoena the Epstein files. The DOJ must now release them to the Oversight Committee. The American people deserve transparency and accountability, and his victims deserve justice. The wealthy and powerful are not above the law.

Emil Bove is the definition of unfit for the federal judiciary—or frankly any court that isn’t a kangaroo. At a time when the integrity of our courts is in a crisis of public confidence, we cannot afford to undermine it further with a president’s lackey. vox.com/scotus/420601/…

Until Harmeet Dillon investigates corporations whose leadership continues to overrepresent white people by nearly 25% and underrepresent Black and Latino ppl by 9.1% and 15.5, respectively, her bluster is completely unserious and makes a mockery of the Civil Rights Division.

PSA for DOJ, Attorney General Pamela Bondi and others in the Trump Admin: The immunity that SCOTUS wrongfully granted Trump last year does not extend to his minions. This blatant retaliation against & attempt to intimidate a sitting federal judge is an unlawful abuse of process & 1st A violation.

This story and last week’s about courageous whistleblower Erez Reuveni. Not only should Bove nomination be immediately abandoned. Bove should be under investigation. Second whistleblower backs claims Emil Bove was 'undermining rule of law' thehill.com/regulation/cou…

The Senate majority is undermining institutions, trampling on norms & disregarding the rule of law by choosing of allegiance over ethics and cowtowing over competence. Disgraceful. Senate, Rejecting Whistle-Blower Alarms, Confirms Bove to Appeals Court nytimes.com/2025/07/29/us/…

Thanks John Oliver⁩ & @lastweektonight for a deep dive into the absurdity of gang databases that use junk science & racial stereotypes to terrorize Black & Brown communities-leaving us less safe. LDF is challenging this practice. Watch to learn more. youtu.be/rlR8d9JVWtQ
