Periodic reminder that, during the Trump regime, any statement by a US official has better than even odds of being absolute bullshit, maybe 75-80%, except:

- Ambassador/Cabinet/WH staff 80-90%

- VP or CBP/ICE 90-95%

- POTUS 99.9999%

ISRAEL IS GOING TO MURDER THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT PROSECUTOR.

And he's back!

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

That’s total nonsense.

Art. II, §4: “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

Any secretary may be impeached.

The more I criticize David Ellison and his moves at Skydance, the more fascinated I become by the contrast with his sister, Megan Ellison who is a prominent Hollywood producer, a four-time Oscar nominee, and the founder of Annapurna Pictures. Megan managed to build her own identity in the industry without relying on her father's or brother's corporate empire. She established her own production company and earned her reputation by financing and championing ambitious, auteur-driven films while collaborating with some of the industry's most respected filmmakers.

She made a name for herself entirely on her own terms, without having to inherit or take over the family business to establish her credibility, because David sure as hell didn't. Maybe David could learn a thing or two from his sister to be a respected producer, but I seriously doubt he genuinely cares.

Even if Carney *had* said what right-wing hacks allege, he'd merely be reflecting the view of the vast majority of Canadians, as polls indicate.

The Canadian right just loves being offside the opinions & values of the Canadian people. Maybe that's why they lose elections.

Alex Karp is one of the most Machiavellian, amoral fascists on the planet. Everything is a LARP because he has no soul.

6 months ago he wrote a manifesto straight outta Curtis Yarvin. Now he’s Elizabeth Warren.

Palantir is Nazi cancer. It must be ripped out of the government.

Wild that Republicans' 2028 strategy is "Fuck you, we don't care about you." Even wilder it consistently works on 30% of the population

[London River @LondonRiverSFW]

Blaming 11 Democrats when Republicans nearly unanimously voted against immediate impeachment seems like barking up the wrong tree. I don't know why they weren't there, and that is a legitimate conversation to have (several Republicans were not present either). But it is telling that the onus falls on Democrats almost entirely, as if elected Republicans are not responsible for their own votes. If it were morally imperative to push impeachment forward now, those 11 Dems shouldn't have been necessary. The GOP bears the greatest share of the failure.

Not two Russian helicopters, but THREE, last night shot down by St Petersburg air defenses.

NEW: The @nytimes confirms that ICE deliberately electronically "disappeared" tens of thousands of people in detention and ordered contractors to refuse to reveal where they're held to family or lawyers.

30% of all immigrants detained in ICE jails now have their location hidden.

The more Trump appeases Putin, the more Putin demands

“I don’t believe in democracy”, social media personality Lauren Chen, co-founder of Russian-funded Tenet Media said, adding: “I believe individual rights and limited government are way more important than the idea of everybody having a vote.”

She + husband were paid by Russia.

[Ruth Ben-Ghiat @ruthbenghiat]

Alternate frame: list countries besides Iran that have profited from this war. Cross check with countries Trump & Kushner are aligned with or beholden to.
This is not a US failure if the new mission of the US under Trump is to be so weakened that life becomes easier for autocrats, starting with Russia.

I am now imagining a support group where a Chinese honey trap, a Martian, and the Antichrist meet in a bar to vent about how exhausting it is to be loved by oligarchs.

[London River @LondonRiverSFW]

Check out how fast the right-leaning folks become anti-gun when they don't like who’s holding it.

Btw: Maine is a constitutional carry state. Protesting peacefully while holding a firearm should not be considered provocative.

[God @TheTweetOfGod]

This is how I imagine delusional racist thinking looks like.

How about a broader investigation of how Trump made money on Nvidia stock after blowing up US national security on the advice of a guy who was having sex with a Chinese spy.
