Hi Twitter. I’m the president of @Public_Citizen.
I’ve been fighting corporate power my entire career.
Please follow me so my social media team doesn’t get mad at me.

Most importantly, any general or military leader given an order to destroy a "whole civilization," or even just civilian targets, must refuse and resist the order.

Third, the best case scenario, in which this is an empty threat, cast aside with no intentional attacks on civilian infrastructure, is itself a violation of international humanitarian law, for which Trump must be held accountable.

Trump is not wrong that this is a grave moment "in the long and complex history of the World."

Well, it’s hardly news that the President tells many lies.
But the overt threats to commit war crimes must not be normalized.

The Pentagon is reportedly planning to ask Congress for an additional $200 billion for their war of choice with Iran, after spending more than $1 billion a day already.
Why should we continue to give more money to the Pentagon year after year, despite the fact that they are unable to pass an audit?
Now is the perfect time to answer those questions and more with @SavannahEWooten from @Public_Citizen on my podcast, With Liberty and Justice for Some.

In 6 days, the US has spent $11.3 billion on an unconstitutional and disastrous war.
That's enough to restore food benefits to the 4 million people losing them due to the tax and budget reconciliation bill

No official is pro crime.
Uh, well, actually not true. Trump is the most pro crime president in history.
He and his DOJ are shutting down prosecutions of corporations and the connected. At record levels, as Trump likes to say.

Shameful lies. No evidence whatsoever that non-citizens pose a greater risk as commercial drivers license.
We’re suing to block Trump policy to illegally deprive immigrants of commercial drivers licenses.

Trump’s claims on MN fraud are, very simply, lies.
His admin is the most pro-fraud in all of history.

300% drug price reductions!
I hope Trump is going to talk about new investments in math.

Is Trump calling for Medicare for All?
Sorry, no, just for more reliance on “the market!”

The Trump-Bondi Justice Dept is probably the weakest on law and order in US history.
They are racing to end enforcement against corporate criminals and wrongdoers who inflict far more harm in $ and lives than street criminals.

Trump couldn't figure out how to call the National Guard in Washington, DC during an insurrection.
But he has no difficulty contacting them over an imaginary street crime crisis.

Trump suspension of tariff talks with Canada makes clear:
Trump is far more concerned with taking care of Big Tech's super profits than he is with taking care of workers or addressing trade imbalances.

Remember when Trump was going to Make America Healthy Again and take on the toxics poisoning us?
Apparently Trump doesn’t.
