It’s a mafia administration. They think they can just threaten anyone and everyone with impunity.
❗White House Counsel William Scharf letter to incoming Congressional majority threatens lawmakers with criminal prosecution.⬇️
Legally repulsive letter, ignores Constitution (Speech or Debate Clause), may trigger law against "corruptly" by "threatening letter or communication" obstructing Congress.

Elite impunity destroys democracy.
Repeat it until it sticks.
Repeat it until it sticks.
It is past time for the Washington elite to get uncomfortable. Because there is a mandate from voters in 2026. And it’s not bipartisanship. It is, at long last, accountability.
The Votes Are In. The Mandate Is Accountability.
It’s time for Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and the Washington, D.C. political tipsheet class to listen to voters and let go of Obama-era fallacies that no longer serve democracy.

DHS is not rogue. It was designed to be a weapon and to embolden agent impunity.
Exclusive: Some immigration officers who were quickly hired last year for President Trump’s mass deportation campaign were involved in past misconduct or criminality, a Post review of records exposed in a DHS hack found.

I think this is probably right, provided the impeachment does happen eventually - Republicans could have sacrificed Hegseth for the appearance of interest in the rule of law but they clearly have no interest in beating the party of elite impunity allegations
By derailing the impeachment of Hegseth, all Republicans did was tie themselves more tightly to the cratering Trump while ensuring that Dems are the party that's associated with holding the deeply unpopular, disastously failing Hegseth accountable when they impeach him next year.

Rusland wil geen 'security guarantees' maar 'impunity guarantees':
What Russia actually wants are impunity guarantees. A violent repeat offender seeking assurances that his victims will not be able to defend themselves. These brazen demands are hardly new. Kushner/Witkoff parroting these old Russian imperialist fantasies is an embarrassment.
🇷🇺 The circus goes on: the country with the largest nuclear arsenal on the planet continues to pretend that it needs security guarantees and that it's not the one threatening global security.

This is such a well written, critical pov. It’s why I’m not on X and boycott and protest Tesla. Our actions as consumers have a huge impact (for good and ill) and bad actors shouldn’t be allowed to profit with impunity.
This is the most important thing I've written in a long time. I hope you'll read and I really hope you'll share it.

Yes, that is exactly what the official policy is.
Frankly, it's not even new to this administration; it's just more explicit. Politicians act with impunity because... they have always acted with impunity. All they ever fear is getting voted out, which isn't even a big deal. They ->

I'm really looking forward to some of these faux Christian Republicans recknoning with the fact that they no longer own "Christianity" and that they can no longer graft rape and theft onto Christianity with impunity.
Curious about this.
Also: Hawley is calling for this as, by my count, *6* Christian clergy and seminary grads are about to enter Congress as Democrats — and that's in addition to the two clergy already there (Cleaver and Warnock) and at least two additional div school grads (Coons and Landsman).
