Lady Justice --
One year ago, we filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump and the Trump Organization for engaging in years of financial fraud.

Last week, we won much of our case when the judge ruled in our favor.
Today, our trial begins.
When you realize that the attractive lawyer who flattered you on TV is horrified bc she passed on a jury trial...

It is my most solemn and regrettable duty to inform you that the Supreme Court returns today to begin a new term. https://t.co/Eoi3uYfSYs

The new Supreme Court term will test just how far the 5th Circuit's fringe-right militants can push the justices toward the abyss. Arming domestic abusers? Outlawing medication abortion? Triggering a new Great Depression? It's ALL on the table. https://t.co/ZYtHaH9dzX pic.twitter.com/rElHeMTyw7

Squeaker McCarthy, the liar nobody trusts --
Now you see why we didn’t trust @SpeakerMcCarthy when he said his 71-page bill that he gave us 20 minutes before the vote was a “clean CR”?

If you say nice things about him, the easily manipulated Malignant Loser won't send you to the cornfield --
Trump is asked if he supports Matt Gaetz’s efforts to oust Kevin McCarthy as Speaker. He says he likes both and McCarthy said very nice things about him this morning so he doesn’t want to comment. pic.twitter.com/xTrnkd7eiY

What's that Musk-y smell? Putin propagandist Chief Twit --
The world’s richest man has continued his campaign against Kyiv, this time by using a fake picture of President Zelensky to mock Ukraine’s fight against Russia’s full-scale invasion.https://t.co/BTz93IL9lF

Tek said it best. Tim Wakefield exemplified what it means to play for the Boston Red Sox. He represented this organization flawlessly. There is no higher standard. It’s Wake. pic.twitter.com/yUUIU8J0aA
