Fighting off existential crises since 1985.

The South African trust-fund billionaire wockaflocka brought in to gut our country's infrastructure, whose cuts to aid have already killed a half-million children, is now offering $100-million to make an all-white remake of a movie. This is all totally normal and whatnot.

This eighty seconds from Jon Karl was very, very strong on undermining faith in free and fair elections. By being so very clear, it allowed the audience and program to move past the ridiculous Trump falsehoods and focus on other important news including developments in Iran.

Putin

Last night Donald Trump released a declassified document that says his own intelligence community identified Putin as personally running an operation to defeat my father in 2020, built around a fake Burisma corruption scandal centered around me and executed through prominent Americans.

Trump tasked his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to fly to Kyiv and meet a known Russian agent.

The Americans who ran, laundered, and legitimized the operation:

Donald Trump. Rudy Giuliani. John Solomon. Joe DiGenova. Victoria Toensing. Lev Parnas. Igor Fruman. Chanel Rion. Sean Hannity. Steve Bannon. Miranda Devine. Ken Vogel. Ron Johnson. Chuck Grassley. James Comer. Jim Jordan.

To name a few.

An operation formally sanctioned by Trump's own Treasury Department on September 10, 2020, and expanded to include more named actors on January 11, 2021.

Oh, and don't forget the Russian-linked FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, who later pleaded guilty to making the entire Burisma bribery story up.

The record exists and we have all the receipts, and more.

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control and the cost of living continues to rise for Americans across the country. I expect the president to reheat debunked conspiracy theories about the repeatedly litigated and audited and confirmed 2020 presidential election in Georgia, an election that Donald Trump lost. And let me be very clear about this: if the President declares Georgia's election illegitimate, or if the President declares Georgia's sitting United States Senators illegitimate, he is declaring Georgia voters illegitimate. It's Donald Trump who tried to defraud Georgia voters in that election, Donald Trump who tried to commit election fraud when he called Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger -- and it was caught on tape, and you should play the tape to your viewers today -- and badgered and bullied Georgia's top election official to 'find him' the votes that he needed to win in a state where he had lost."

ICE agents killed a man in cold blood at a traffic stop in Houston who had been in this country for 35 years. His son heard about it on a Facebook post and recognized his father’s voice, pleading for help as they left him to bleed out on the street.

If you don’t think ice are the American Gestapo listen to my friend, Werner Reich who was taken by the Nazis when he was 14 years old and put in three different death camps. He was in Auschwitz the year I was born 1944.

I have filmed Holocaust survivors for many years. Their stories have never been more important. #neveragainisnow

ICE killed a father of three yesterday and no one is talking about it.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo spent 35 years in Houston building homes and raising a family.

According to people interviewed, every night after work you'd find him on his porch, listening to music, petting his dog. He helped his three kids (U.S. Citizens) get through college.

It certainly seems that he was doing everything right, and then a federal agent shot him dead during a stop and his own son found out from a Facebook video, recognizing his father's voice as he lay bleeding in the street.

His son says that if his father had recognized any sign of law enforcement, he would have complied without question.

DHS says he "tried to run him over." This is the exact same lie they used to justify murdering Renee Good, a mother of three.

We are being asked to trust a rogue, lawless agency's word over a dead man's family, again, with no body cam release and no independent investigation.

Everyone should be outraged.

Jack Smith: I'll give you an example from from my life. I resigned as special counsel. I know I need to get a lawyer because the president has said he wants to jail me for doing my job. And so I retain lawyers, as soon as that becomes public, the president and the justice department target that law firm, and they do it because they don't want me to have counsel. They don't want to have anyone represent me…

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

Wow. This focus group on the MAGA cult.

Spoiler alert: these folks aren’t MAGA anymore.

Tori Hurst: "They made me watch a documentary on January 6th, and I didn't even know what happened on January 6th prior to the PBS documentary. And I looked at him, and I said, 'Scott, did that really happen?' And he was like, 'Where have you been?’”

Fascinating.

[😱 Scary Larry 😱 🇺🇦✊🏻🇺🇸🗽 @aintscarylarry]

trump calls the White House a “shithouse.” Calls a reporter a “bitch.” Screams at Iran: “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards.” And not a peep from the media. Do not become numb to this. None of this is acceptable. How far we have fallen as a nation

[Aaron Quinn @AaronQuinn716]

There is a metaphor here about the state of the union for sure.

This is Operation Midway Blitz: a scared, untrained, underperforming terror squad of boys trying and failing to prove themselves as men against unarmed locals minding their own business ... a global embarrassment.

We are broken.

[Poika @Poika99]

@Tinschlager @Rngr59 @GavinNewsom Yeah I noticed this thread is full of that point, which means to me that it absolutely got disseminated.

[Poika @Poika99]

@atrupar HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, is that rich! Just like his pops!

[Laurie Kilmartin @anylaurie16]

friends, Andrew Cuomo cannot be mayor and Gavin Newson cannot be president.

[Dan Casey @DanCasey]

This is basically every Trump cabinet pick so far

[Poika @Poika99]

Not that anyone reads my tweets, but watching this fascist nightmare unfold with Musk trotting around with his power and Thiel's boy a heartbeat away tells me I don't need to hang out with the meatheads and cult members that live here. See ya @poika.bsky.social Tata!

[Poika @Poika99]

@bornferal I thought the exact same thing for myself last night.

@NateSilver538 @jonathanchait Hey Nate! I've never responded to you, but for my first response: Eat shit.
