Ex-GOP presidential aide says 'no one is safe' from Trump's lawfare
According to an ex-presidential aide, President Donald Trump’s fishing expedition against one of the Democrats’ presumed 2028 election front-runners, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, proves “no one is safe” from the Republican president and his politicized DOJ.“Federal agents abusing the powers that they had when surveilling civil rights leaders have taken off after the governor of California, which means, unless you're not too bright, if they can do it to Gavin Newsom, they can do it to anybody,” warned Steve Schmidt, who advised Republican president, George W. Bush. “And thinking about that, how close is it that we came to the US military being deployed on the streets, an ICE army behind them or in front of them, commanded by Stephen Miller, with the power to detain whomever they wanted, wherever they wished?”Adding that Trump has reportedly talked about eliminating the writ of habeas corpus, which guarantees the government “can't just lock you up without reason or cause and has existed in English common law for a thousand years,” Schmidt added that Trump aspires to transform America “from a republic to a police state.” Comparing Trump’s order to investigators to find something about Newsom and/or his family members, Schmidt added that this is like Russia under its dictator, Vladimir Putin.“It is unacceptable, and it must not be stood for,” Schmidt declared. “This is why, in the months ahead, as the contours of the debate take shape, there can be no compromise on this simple, fundamental, absolutely important principle” — namely that, unlike the forgiving approach of President Joe Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland, after Trump there should be “no more appeasing this lawless evil. Here, in these United States, there will be accountability for every federal agent, every corrupt federal official, from Trump on down, who has made the rule of law in this country a mockery and has trampled on the liberties of the American people, including the governor of California and his lovely wife Jennifer, who deserve better from their president, and better from their country, than to be persecuted for speaking out and participating and leading and standing up.”In a Monday appearance on MS NOW senior investigative correspondent Carol Leonnig revealed that a fellow reporter, Erum Salam, learned Trump’s Department of Justice is trying to find any case it can to use against him."First off, I want to say that we have from sources two really important nuggets," Leonnig said. "One is that the central district of California, the U.S. district attorney's office in the central district, has been pressing the line prosecutors to come up with a case against Gavin Newsom."Schmidt has also warned more broadly about the loss of faith in American political institutions that has occurred during Trump’s presidency.“There was a time in America when public disgrace meant something,” Schmidt said. “A man caught lying to the public would resign. A politician caught in corruption would retreat from public life. A leader who dishonored his office would feel the sting of judgment from neighbors, colleagues, family members and strangers.”

Susan Collins says she has no regrets over Kavanaugh vote despite Roe reversal
Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) was confronted by reporters on Tuesday about her role in confirming Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh at the height of controversy over his allegations of sexual misconduct, with the hindsight of his role in overturning abortion rights for millions of women around the country — and she was unrepentant.The reason, she explained, is that she also voted to confirm a number of justices who opposed that opinion."This is the first reelection campaign that you're run since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade," asked a reporter from News Center Maine. "I was hoping you could talk to me a little bit about your vote to confirm Kavanaugh and whether you regret that?""I do not regret that vote," said Collins. "I do disagree with Justice Kavanaugh's vote. I would point out that in that decision, several Supreme Court justices whom I supported voted the other way. That includes Justice Sotomayor, Justice Elena Kagan, Justice Jackson. So I have supported a great number of Supreme Court justices.""When I look at a justice, I look at their qualifications, their integrity, their background, their experience in reaching a decision," she added. "Obviously I'm disappointed in that decision, which turned abortion issues back to the states. It has not had an impact on the state of Maine, in that Maine actually expanded its law."Collins is facing a closely-watched re-election battle, with Democrats having nominated oyster farmer and harbormaster Graham Platner, who is touring the state on a progressive platform while facing questions about his drama-filled past.
