Trump’s exploiting the presidency to make billions on crypto-scams, pardons-for-sale, foreign government emoluments from princes and kings, Chinese-made Bibles, sneakers, bogus government lawsuits against the government—catch the grift?

Republicans called a hearing on conditions at Delaney Hall, trying to spin the “narrative” that everything's fine. Almost none showed up!    Don't worry—Judiciary Dems are here doing our jobs and exposing the truth about the inhumane conditions there and at other detention facilities.

@hankjohnson.house.gov: "You've never been to Delaney Hall, though?" Republican Witness: "I haven't"

Republicans voted to strip the right of unaccompanied kids to have a lawyer represent them in immigration court. We're talking about kids who are as young as 18 months old who will now be left to fend for themselves in front of the government.

House Republicans' immigration bill would criminalize kids whose parents overstay their visas. And we’re supposed to trust an out-of-control administration that defies court orders to use that power responsibly? Not a chance. @ross.house.gov explains:

Welcome @RepSummerLee to the Judiciary Committee!

In a rare and impulsive outburst of candor, Todd Blanche declared himself Trump’s lawyer, not America’s. The Senate faces a clear choice: confirm Blanche and continue the DOJ’s growth into Trump’s legal attack dogs or summon the courage to reject this toxic nominee. 🧵

BREAKING: Todd Blanche accidentally blurts out the truth.

🚨NEW from @democrats-judiciary.house.gov: America Needs An Attorney General, Not Another Trump Consigliere.

Democrats aren’t the only ones wondering if FBI Director Kash Patel is abusing taxpayer dollars to pay for his luxury vacations. A letter provided to the House Judiciary Committee reveals that Chairman Grassley wrote to Patel back in May raising concerns about his unusual and excessive spending.

Last week, RM @RepRaskin sent letters to Harvard and Bard to demand answers on how Jeffrey Epstein created and leveraged relationships with elite universities to recruit and groom his victims while Ivywashing his reputation.

Why isn’t the White House releasing Trump’s cognitive test? Why did it take 22 medical specialists to conduct the president’s annual medical exam? What are they hiding from us?

RM @RepRaskin slammed Republicans’ vindictively partisan investigation into ActBlue, a donation platform used by Democratic candidates. Republicans continue to ignore the rampant fraud and ripoffs on their own fundraising platform WinRed.

Today a strong bipartisan majority in the House blocked Speaker Johnson’s attempt to reauthorize Section 702 of FISA without any privacy protections other than innternal review by civil libertarians Kash Patel and Bill Pulte.

RM @raskin.house.gov slams Republicans' shady plan to extend FISA Sec. 702 with no meaningful reforms. We can't allow Kash Patel and Bill Pulte to rummage through Americans’ most sensitive data. Judges, not Pulte and Patel, must be in charge of protecting Americans’ constitutional rights to privacy.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is on the front lines of fighting violent extremist groups. Several Civil Rights defenders spoke out against Republicans’ baseless smears at hearing on the @splcenter.org

In opening remarks, RM @raskin.house.gov explains that the corrupt Blanche DOJ rushed a baseless indictment targeting the Southern Poverty Law Center as part of a larger attempt to target critics and political enemies while rewarding criminal Trump loyalists.

Here’s some notable wins in the courts this week you might’ve missed:

Acting AG Todd Blanche told a House Appropriations subcommittee on Tuesday to take his word for it that the Trump-Blanche slush fund—the subject of nationwide bipartisan outrage—is dead. Why would anyone take Trump’s former personal attorney at his word?

Two federal courts have forced DOJ to temporarily pause Trump’s effort to steal $1.8 billion from taxpayers and dole it out to MAGA criminals. But that's plainly not enough. We need to permanently stop Attorney General Todd Blanche's dirty “settlement” for good: (1/2)

Today, @RepRaskin released a new fact sheet detailing the top 10 reasons why Trump’s $1.776 billion slush fund and super-pardon for his family and businesses are unconstitutional, illegal, and a fraud on the court.

Rep. Lucy McBath explains that these attacks, alongside the MAGA Supreme Court’s dismantling of the Voting Rights Act, are part of a broader effort to revive Jim Crow-era barriers and suppress Black and Brown political participation.

For decades, the @splcenter.org has been fighting to protect all of us from violent extremists. From fighting the KKK and desegregation in the South to defending every citizens’ voting rights - they have stood up to violence and hate.

This is a SUPER-PARDON for Trump and his family.   It guarantees no prosecutions, no investigations, no IRS audits. A total free ride.   In Trump’s gangster state, he and his family don’t even have to pay their taxes because they’re way, way above the law.

BREAKING: 93 House Democrats have filed a motion to block Trump’s self-dealing settlement in his sham $10 billion IRS lawsuit, which would create a $1.7 billion slush fund for Jan. 6 rioters and political allies.

Immigrants who are victims of crime are less likely to report it or testify out of fear of being detained. @ross.house.gov on how the Trump Administration’s reckless immigration policies have made it harder to prosecute criminals:

@raskin.house.gov released a new staff report revealing how the Trump Administration’s mass deportation policies are interfering with criminal prosecutions across the country, allowing perpetrators to evade accountability while depriving victims and their families of justice.

Here's some notable wins in the courts this week you might've missed:
