From today's House Judiciary Hearing on Justice Department Oversight. Representative Eric Swalwell speaks soberly and seriously about the threats he and his family have received as a result of the president’s threats and the Department of Justice’s seeming refusal to prosecute individuals who make threats against members of Congress.

“[..] the Zionist lobby has turned its propaganda machinery toward US conservatives, funding influencers, evading foreign-agent laws, and weaponizing religion and media to preserve MAGA loyalty to ‘Israel’ despite growing right-wing dissent”

The trump administration is revoking security clearances in an act of retribution targeting public servants from the federal government’s intelligence community.
"A memo from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard accuses the individuals of engaging in the 'politicization or weaponization of intelligence' to advance personal or partisan goals, failing to safeguard classified information, failing to 'adhere to professional analytic tradecraft standards' and other unspecified 'detrimental' conduct.
The memo did not offer evidence to back up the accusations."

#Trump DOJ targets #AntiICE #activists in #SpokaneWA
by Garrett Owen
Wed, July 16, 2025
"Federal prosecutors are accusing nine people in Spokane, Washington, of violence against federal agents in the wake of an anti-ICE mass demonstration in June.
"On Tuesday, #FBI agents began arresting people involved in the protest, following a grand jury indictment on July 9, as reported by The Spokesman-Review. Among those detained was former Spokane City Council President Ben Stuckart, who was charged with engaging in conspiracy to impede or injure law enforcement.
"The eight others face similar charges, though two are also charged with assault on a federal officer, per the Department of Justice.
"The move by the Trump administration has drawn criticism from local and national leaders. U.S. Senator Patty Murray, D-Wash., called the arrests a 'gross abuse of federal resources' and a 'disturbing perversion of justice.'
"Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown referred to the DOJ’s actions as a 'politically motivated action.'
" 'The Trump Administration’s #weaponization of #ICE and the #DOJ is trampling on the #USConstitution and creating widespread fear across our community,' Brown said in a statement Tuesday.
"The mass demonstration on June 11 was in response to the detention of two young asylum seekers in Spokane by ICE who were present in the U.S. legally. Stuckart posted a call to action on social media, creating a large protest which swelled to hundreds in the streets of Spokane and led to Stuckart’s arrest for blocking an ICE vehicle.
"Among those arrested on Tuesday was #BajunMavalwallaII, who allegedly blocked a driveway when federal agents tried to leave the area. He was arrested early in the morning while staying at the home of his father, #BajunMavalwalla Sr.
" 'I demanded a warrant, they refused and wouldn’t show it until everyone left the home. My son was protesting on June 11, they said he assaulted officers,' Mavalwalla Sr. said. 'My son worked in cybersecurity and was deployed to Afghanistan. He has no problems with the law.'
" 'This is a scare tactic,' Mavawalla Sr. said. 'This is what they’re doing now.' "

Thanks to the #maga party #weaponization of our law enforcement institutions, #America has joined the likes of Nazi Germany, Russia and other fascist/autocratic countries. We now have our own #secretpolice who slink around with masks and military attire snapping up unsuspecting individuals and whisking them away with being so bold as to execute their marching orders in broad daylight. The secret police's weapon is fear and intimidation with the aid of corrupt politicians and collaborators.

The Weaponization Czar
From the fearless Marc Elias’s newsletter, Democracy Docket:
“We should not only give the Congresswoman [McIver] the presumption of innocence — **we should assume the U.S. Attorney’s office is acting with malice and in bad faith.”**
Please support Marc’s important work if you possibly can.
Watson Coleman: "If they can do this to three #federally elected officials with the authority to come and do their job, and they can then also lock up the mayor of the largest city in New Jersey who was on public property ... people just are afraid of this #weaponization of law #enforcement."
