To ICE and the National Guard: if you commit crimes in Philadelphia, we will charge you and hold you accountable to the fullest extent of the law.

I am the District Attorney of Philadelphia. If I had evidence on my desk of a pedophile ring, you think I would sit on it? Hell no. I would bring charges so fast your head would spin.
That’s what real prosecutors do. We don’t protect predators.

According to the WSJ, he knew he was in the files. The Attorney General helped him hide the files. He likely has already destroyed the files that implicate him.
Now we need an investigation that makes Watergate look small.

The 10th Amendment says he cannot take over the Philadelphia Police Department. There’s no legal basis and there’s no emergency. We have the lowest rate of homicides in 50 years. The only emergency is Donald Trump.

My Democratic primary opponent who I defeated just switched to the Republican ticket. His campaign swore he’d never do it and surprise: they lied. This is part of Trump’s plan to take over major cities. Philly’s next on their list, and I’m sure as hell not going to let it happen.

#ElizabethWarren is principled, she is for the people, and she is unrelenting. She backs down for no one and that’s exactly what we need in the White House.
Her message about economic justice connects so easily to criminal justice reform.

This fascist-in-chief is a traitor, an inciter of violence and lawlessness, and should be both impeached (again) and prosecuted.
I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!

The same people who scream “law and order” have no problem with Trump hiding the Epstein list. Survivors deserve transparency. The powerful shouldn’t get a pass just because they’re rich or famous. Justice must be for everyone.

Barack Obama isn’t going to prison.
He doesn’t have 34 felony convictions.
He wasn’t found liable for sexual assault in court.
He never tried to overthrow the government.
And he’s not hiding the Epstein files.
If any of that rings a bell, DJT, it should.

I’m proud to endorse Larry Krasner (@Krasner4DA) for his re-election as District Attorney of Philadelphia.
Larry is doing the work to reshape how prosecutors can help end mass incarceration, champion racial justice, and build community accountability.
We need him in this seat.

3 months ago, we won reelection handily in Philly. Now, a Trump-loving state Sen. 200 miles away wants to nullify this city’s vote. Its always nice when people are transparent about their disdain for democracy and the votes of Black and brown people. We’ll keep doing actual work.

A man posed as an ICE agent, zip-tied an immigrant worker, and robbed a shop. This is what happens when ICE floods the country with no oversight and no identification. Citizens don’t know who to trust.
