I’m going to start putting together a thread of @GOP officials using their elected office to attack their own country during a crisis. Let’s start with the abomination that is @RepStefanik.

“You can’t start and project weakness like this on the world stage, which this administration seems to do every day.”

Last tweet: “There was no planning along the way…there was very little uniting of allies. And, frankly, a lot of wishful thinking that [Biden] was going to be able to negotiate to cease Putin’s buildup…and Putin called Biden’s bluff.” ImageImageImageImage

[No statement on Ukraine, but Pinned is a litany of treasonous lies calling Mueller’s investigation a “legalized coup” & the rest are attacks on Biden. Mueller established that Russia *attacked* our 2016 election to *help* Trump] ImageImageImageImage

First tweet: “While the President attempted to portray optimism, the challenges of the present time require an IMMEDIATE SHIFT in focus away from far-left policies that weaken America’s economy, national security and foreign policy.” (no) ImageImageImage

For the millionth time: Trump cannot stop a congressional or judicial records release by declaring an “active investigation.” That only works for FOIA. Congress and the courts are not subordinate to DOJ & DOJ does not control the Epstein court files. This narrative needs to stop.
I’m going to break this down again since I’m still seeing people who attended law school and/or are practicing lawyers get this wrong.

Here we go:
No, Trump cannot block a congressional records release with an “active investigation.”

That excuse only works inside the DOJ regarding the release of documents it controls under FOIA (Freedom of Information Act).

1. You are a total disgrace running a coverup in real-time & plain sight

2. This might have worked to prevent the release of files in Florida, Pam. But Federal law is different. The “active investigation” excuse is a FOIA exemption and FOIA applies to the public, not to Congress
3. Congress can demand documents whether or not DOJ claims there is an investigation.

4. The DOJ cannot use an investigation to refuse a valid congressional subpoena.
5. If you try to claim “ongoing investigation” as a reason the files cannot be released despite a legislative mandate, Congress can still:

—Issue subpoenas
—Hold officials in contempt
—Litigate in federal court
—Pass laws compelling production

Trump’s WH is in full-blown panic mode because the Epstein Files bill just crossed the one threshold that changes everything: Adelita Grijalva provided the 218th signature needed to force a House floor vote.

Here’s what happens next, and why it UTTERLY TERRIFIES THEM [Thread 🧵]
218 signatures = the dam officially broke.

Quisling Mike Johnson stonewalled on swearing in Rep. Grijalva for 7 weeks FOR THIS EXACT REASON

With her signature, Massie & Khanna’s discharge petition FORCES a House vote PUTTING ALL MEMBERS ON RECORD on releasing the Epstein files
Now the House will vote on the bill itself.

Every member goes on the record as standing with the victims or the perpetrators.

And @POLITICO says Republicans are bracing for MASS DEFECTIONS.

Given 4 already bucked leadership just to force this, the floor vote is likely to pass.

Those funds aren’t “going to insurance companies.”

They’re subsidies that directly lower people’s premiums and deductibles

Cut them and you blow up the entire marketplace, jack up prices, and throw millions off their coverage overnight

This is a deliberate plan to kill the ACA
Let’s walk through all the reasons this is a terrible idea.

1. As I stated above, this is not “giving money to the people.” It’s DISMANTLING THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE that makes health insurance even *remotely* affordable.
2. Those “hundreds of billions” aren’t handouts to insurance companies. They’re premium subsidies and cost-sharing reductions that go directly to lowering people’s bills.

Everyone needs to understand what Donald Trump is planning.

If he allows SNAP benefits to expire for over 41 million Americans on November 1st during his shutdown, it won’t be by accident.

It’ll be by design.

Here’s how I think this goes — and how we can stop it [THREAD🧵] Image
Trump’s shutdown isn’t about budgets. It’s about CONTROL.

He INSTRUCTED @SpeakerJohnson to keep the government closed — and Johnson obeyed his master.

Everything that happens next flows from that fact.
@SpeakerJohnson On November 1st, just 6 days from now, SNAP benefits — food assistance for 41.2 million people — will STOP.

That’s more than 1 in 10 Americans suddenly unable to feed their families.

And Trump is refusing to release $6 billion in reserve funds that could cover it.

This might be the single most dangerous story of Trump’s regime.

He’s already taken over Congress, the DOJ, the FBI, SCOTUS, and every federal agency.

Now his allies are privately funding the U.S. military.

If he captures them too, America as we know it ENDS. [THREAD🧵]
The Pentagon just confirmed that it accepted $130 million from “an anonymous Trump ally” to pay U.S. troops during the shutdown.

That’s not just unethical; it’s a NATIONAL SECURITY CRISIS.

Here’s why this crosses every legal and moral line imaginable…
First: CONGRESS — not private donors AKA nefarious Trump-allied billionaires — controls the power of the purse.

That’s the Constitution.

When an anonymous donor pays our military, it undermines congressional authority and normalizes oligarchic control over government itself.
