Don't pay too much attention to the "Biden had classified documents" story.

Classified documents end up misplaced more often than you'd think. The issue becomes a criminal one when they're NOT turned back over to the government upon discovery/request.

Biden's folks did exactly what they were supposed to do while Trump tried to obstruct efforts to secure classified documents.

Jill Biden? Really? These extremists are really something else, threatening to investigate her!

From what we know, the Biden classified-docs story is about finding documents with markings and turning them over.

The Trump story is about a months-long effort to retain material sought by the government, an ignored subpoena and a false affidavit.

The Trump and Biden classified-document revelations are not the same

Trump and his allies are eager to whatabout the news that classified documents were found in a Biden office. But the situations are very different.

BREAKING: Dan Goldman and I are filing a formal complaint with the House Ethics Committee against George Santos for violating the Ethics in Government Act.

George Santos must be held accountable for defrauding both Congress and the public.

There is no ā€œjusticeā€ system.

Today, Trump Org CFO Weisselberg is being sentenced to five months jail.

On a five month sentence, he'll serve approximately 100 days.

As a public defender in Manhattan, I represented a man who was sentenced to 3-6 years (and will serve 1500+ days) for stealing a jacket.

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.

I’ve watched as corporations ransacked our system.

In 1952, the corporate share of federal tax revenue was 32%. In 2020, it was down to 7%.

Here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

Happy New Year! Let’s all fight for a better, more equitable, and more just 2023 together āœŠļø

George Santos' fun first day in Congress:

"For long stretches of time, no one sat directly next to him. His nearest seatmates were the squirming children of members-elect. Santos alternated between staring at his phone and glancing quickly around the chamber, the proverbial school cafeteria. He yawned a lot. He scratched his chin, his cheek, his lips. He fidgeted. He wiped his left index finger around the rim of his right nostril."
