BREAKING: Judge Engoron just responded to Donald Trump’s attempt to pause having to pay off more than $400 million, saying, “You have failed to explain, much less justify, any basis for a stay.” More bad news for Trump, but great news for justice. Thank you, Judge Engoron.
Short and sweet response. Love it.

WOW. Lawrence O'Donnell just dismantled every claim about President Biden being too old & how he should drop out in under 30 minutes, emphasizing all Biden has done & calling out the media. That was brilliant. I hope everyone watches & the media takes notes. Thank you, Lawrence.
That was a tour de force. Every point was so compelling & simply destroyed the press's wishes for President Biden to drop out of the race. Bottom line: President Biden is running a remarkably strong campaign, has a tremendous record, & is the *best* person to beat Trump.
I hope the media & those who are calling on Biden to drop out watched that very carefully, because they are basing their assertions off of how old he looks instead of every real & positive thing he has done. Start focusing on what really matters in a presidency.
BREAKING: DOJ, the day after Alexei Navalny died, just announced that they have transferred nearly $500,000 in forfeited Russian funds to Estonia to help Ukraine fight Russian aggression — the first time this has ever been done. This is really big & good news.
More here: “Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco and Estonian Secretary General Tõnis Saar announced today at the Munich Security Conference the transfer of nearly $500,000 in forfeited Russian funds for the purpose of providing aid to Ukraine.” justice.gov/opa/pr/justice…
“This transfer is the first of its kind from the United States to a foreign ally for the express purpose of assisting Ukraine, and the second time the Justice Department’s Task Force KleptoCapture has made confiscated Russian assets available for Ukraine.” (cc @tribelaw !!)
Reminder: Donald Trump still faces an IRS investigation that could cost him up to $100 MILLION, 2 more federal-level cases, & another state-level case in Georgia. That’s IN ADDITION to being a proven sexual abuser, insurrectionist, & fraudster. Let that sink in. Trump is a loser.
Last night on @WagnerTonight, the great Susan Craig did a great job reminding everyone that if you thought the $430+ million Trump has to pay is the end, it’s not. He could end up having to pay more than half a billion dollars. This man is a big loser.
@WagnerTonight It’s also worth noting a jury/grand jury of Trump’s own peers have concluded he is a sexual assaulter, wrongfully stole classified documents, and incited an insurrection. We don’t have to wait on the court. This is what we must remind voters of every day. This is NOT normal. /END
Watching President Biden talk about Navalny's death now reminds me why I don't give a damn about his age. Unlike Trump, who hasn't said anything, President Biden is forcefully calling out Vladimir Putin & Russia for this. President Biden is showing us real leadership. Thank you.
Other countries are watching what we are doing right now. Trump is mute. President Biden is exhibiting true leadership right now and doing what presidents should do. This is strong & I'm grateful for President Biden's leadership right now.
And here is President Biden calling out the previous president for placating to Vladimir Putin by saying he can do whatever he wants and abandon NATO. Whatever you think of President Biden, he would never do that. And it matters.
Holy sh*t: The Biden campaign just released a new ad that brutally slams Donald Trump for being the only one who promises to “walk away from NATO” & gives “Putin the green light to attack America’s allies.” THIS is how it’s done. Such a good & powerful ad. Please watch/share👇
From the Biden campaign: “Today, Team Biden-Harris is launching a new ad highlighting Donald Trump’s repeated promise to put America at risk by abandoning our NATO Allies across Europe in the face of Russian attacks if he’s reelected.”
The ad is titled “Walk away.”
The campaign adds: “The minute-long spot also makes clear that every American president since President Harry Truman has stood by our commitment to our NATO allies – except Donald Trump, who wants to ‘walk away’ from the alliance.” It’s worth watching & sharing.
NEW: The White House just sent a scathing letter to the members of the press, calling out their inaccurate coverage of the Special Counsel’s report & lays out the facts, with page numbers from the report itself, for them. Glad the White House is calling out the media.
Page ONE: “Instead, many outlets have reported striking inaccuracies that misrepresent the report's conclusion about the President, and reporters…have asked questions that include false content/based on false premises…I am compelled to illustrate the facts & urge caution”
PAGE 2: Calls out incorrect headlines & then says, “…but after exploring the theory and reviewing the full totality of facts and evidence available-not just some of it-the Special Counsel determined that the evidence refuted willful retention or disclosure.”
