U.S. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, subpoenaed Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner on Wednesday over what Jordan called his "office's sanctuary policies."

In a public letter, Jordan said that Krasner's office has not sent the House Judiciary Committee a "single responsive document" since the committee requested information on the treatment of undocumented immigrants on May 4, 2026. Jordan is accusing Krasner's office of giving "preferential treatment" of undocumented immigrants so "that they do not face immigration consequences for their criminality."

Jordan's letter did say that Krasner responded to the request at least two separate times. The first, on May 18, claimed Jordan's request was "baseless," which Jordan refuted. The second, on July 7, made "ad hominem attacks and placing bizarre and baseless demands and conditions on your cooperation with the Committee’s oversight."

In a video posted to social media on Wednesday, Krasner called Jordan's letter a "nastygram" and said he wanted a public hearing over the issue.

1. Krasner can simply ignore the subpoena like Jordan did.

2. "Hey, Gym-Rat---I MIGHT answer my subpoena when you answer YOURS!"

Until then, fuck a few cacti.

Gym-Rat is another one whose passing will be celebrated.

5. Maybe DA Krasner

Should subpoena Jordan, Comer, Blanche, Bondi, Patel, et al. for making DC a sanctuary city for rapists and pedophiles.

6. D.A. Krasner promised to arrest any ICE agents interfering in the November elections.

I'm sure this subpoena isn't intended as intimidation for that threat though.

7. And thus, the reason trump is targeting him now.

You'd think from all the ballyhoo that trump was going to be on the ballot in November. I've never seen a president in an off year do so much campaigning... which tells me they absolutely know how badly their policies and ideas are failing - even among their own base. I'd say this gives us the election to come, but for all the gerrymandering, roll purging, and other cheats that trump and company are implementing in order to steal it.
