I’m sure you guys have noticed I’ve been talking about Ukraine a lot lately. Now that the story is out in the open, I can confirm:

As of right now, the US expects the invasion to begin as early as next week, starting with electronic warfare and heavy bombardment. 1/2

Trudeau “ all the calls that jam the 911 lines yesterday were from the US and half of the donations are coming from foreign entities”

@kendrictonn I think it's gonna be: "I had a dream everybody just walked around with their faces naked."

[Jared Yates Sexton @JYSexton]

Reagan was the pitchman for destroying the social safety net, eradicating the New Deal, and redistributing wealth from the bottom up and creating record and inhuman inequality. Not to mention he wasn’t conservative in any way.

His mythology is a prison we’ve yet to escape.

@maybeawriter How are you feeling? Got your Gatorade?

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The pandemic hit in 2020. We should not use 2019 income to determine relief eligibility.

If they carried "flagpoles" like these, they need weapons charges. Bringing bludgeons to riots with flags attached as an excuse is deliberate; I've seen the materials.

@DGlaucomflecken Well, at least you get to poke them in the eye - right?

@kendrictonn It's beautiful.

https://t.co/v17DptHiFa 2021 tax increase signed in 2017.

[Chaos In Vegas @ChaoticVegasMan]

Wait, so Trump passed a bill in 2017 where ppl who make under $75,000 will have their taxes raised in 2021 and every 2 years after that until 2027.... while the rich get richer.... and y’all crying about Biden raising taxes for ppl who make over 400k? What am I missing..

1/ It turns out that Donald Trump was right: the election was rigged. He would know, of course, because he and Lewis DeJoy were the ones who rigged it.

[Thom Hartmann @Thom_Hartmann]

11/ Nobody is sure what the next conservative scheme will be to disqualify votes in American cities, but you can bet they’re working on it. Which is why we need a law or Constitutional amendment that unambiguously asserts a “right to vote.“

Excellent thread on Covid math.

[Trevor Bedford @trvrb]

Looking backwards, this lag-adjusted CFR means that 991 deaths in the US today (with 7-day smoothing) should be compared against 57,206 cases reported Oct 19 (with 7-day smoothing). In this case, 991/57206 = 1.7% is consistent with this overall lag-adjusted CFR. 6/8

[Jonathan Simon @JonathanSimon14]

@PoliSue2 Sorry, not true. You need a majority of the total number of electors, not the total number of certified electors. It's a hard threshold, now set at 270. If you successfully prevent certification of 270 electors for the leading candidate, the House decides. 12th Amendment.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

1000% correct.

[Jonathan Simon @JonathanSimon14]

Yes, I'm much more concerned about the tactic of litigating to delay and deny Biden 270 certified electoral votes, which would immediately throw the election to the House, voting by state delegation (GOP has majority - Trump wins).

[Jared Yates Sexton @JYSexton]

The Republican Party embraced Trumpism and used it to destroy democratic institutions, steal the court, push tax cuts for the wealthy, all while reveling in cruelty and fostering fascistic rage. Now they’re pushing to undermine an election.

This is unforgivable.
