Recap of today’s news:
— Trump’s former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows flipped on him
— Trump’s former lawyer Jenna Ellis flipped on him
— Trump had to sit in court today and listen to Michael Cohen testify against him, calling him a “cheat”
— Tom Emmer was briefly the GOP’s speaker designate, for about four hours, before Trump called him a RINO in a post on Truth Social (literally while sitting in court) and his colleagues quickly left him twisting in the wind; Emmer dropped out and the House GOP is no closer to producing a speaker despite spending all day on this vote
This is the Republican Party.
Today, President Biden was a mature, thoughtful, and resolute Statesman on the world stage. He listened and spoke compassionately, and was exactly the leader we needed to represent America.
He was exactly the person with decades of experience we hoped we were getting when we elected him.
I could never imagine trump being that kind of leader. EVER.
The news of Russian sabotage of the Baltic-connector natural gas pipeline between Finland and Estonia was today followed by massive bomb threats against Estonian schools and kindergartens. Latvia experienced similar threats already a couple of days ago.
I don't think we needed a reminder that Ukraine is fighting for all of us, but thanks anyway.
Tuberville, who’s destroying our military readiness, has NEVER served
Rand Paul, who’s blocking our State Dept officials, has NEVER served
Josh Hawley who’s blocking Army civilian nominations has NEVER served
Ted Cruz who blocked our diplomats has NEVER served
Spot a pattern?
Lest you wonder who is behind these attacks on Israel, today the Iranian state run media broadcasted all the MPs in Iran rising from their seats to chant “Death to Israel” and “Palestine is victorious, Israel will be destroyed”.
if "American politics" were broken, we'd have seen things like this happen when Democrats controlled the House
but we didn't
what's broken, very specifically, is the Republican Party
What if it isn’t a mistake or incompetent lawyering?
What if, and stay with me here, he knows exactly what he’s doing - and by actively checking the box for a trial without a jury (which is what actually happened), he set the stage we’re in now - where an individual judge can be maligned and intimidated.
What if he’s a strongman propagandist out to tear down yet another of our Democratic processes?
Maybe I missed it, but has @elonmusk ever mocked Putin? Has he ever mocked Xi Jinping? Says a lot about Elon, doesn’t it? He regularly mocks a leader trying to defend his sovereign country, but he never mocks the war criminal who invaded that sovereign country.
EXCLUSIVE: Donald Trump has sought to discredit a NY judge’s blockbuster ruling threatening his business empire by arguing that Mar-a-Lago alone is worth more than a billion dollars.
But fewer than 3 years ago, his tax rep told Palm Beach County officials that Trump “agrees” his private club in SoFla is worth just $26.6 million, per records obtained by @TheMessenger & @KlasfeldReports

This guy’s main goal in life clearly is to be known as the biggest jagoff in the history of jagoffs. Like Trump, he would destroy democracy if he could, but at least with Trump there’d be a few grim laffs along the road to perdition. Rama-lama-dingdong is excruciatingly unfunny.
Wait... I thought Trump claimed that the Democrats were the socialists?!?!
Trump demands union support for nationalist vision, warns of doom otherwise https://t.co/xGq8lIPVuh
It's unclear how many auto workers attended Trump's speech.
A person in the crowd with a "union members for Trump" sign acknowledged she wasn't a union member.
A person with an "auto workers for Trump" sign said he wasn't an auto worker. https://t.co/yWziQmqUSG
The Biden "age" issue is a MAGA racist/sexist "dog whistle" targeting @VP Kamala Harris.
Biden and Trump are about the same age.
Biden is fit and healthy.
Trump can barely walk and is a massive conorary waiting to happen.
The same US politicians that called for Ukraine to surrender back in March 2022 are now calling for Ukraine to surrender when they've already taken back 52% of Russian occupied territory (and more every day).
Remember their names and vote them out.
Let’s talk about the REAL crime family.
China granted a total of 41 trademarks to companies linked to Ivanka Trump by April 2019.
Jared and Ivanka made a whopping 640 million dollars working as “advisors” for Trump's administration.
Six months after the grifters left the White House, Jared secured the bag… you got it, 2 billion dollars from those responsible for 9/11.
Cut the shit. The minute Trump became president he and his family used the position as their personal piggy bank. Hell, one of the first things he did was open a hotel in DC so that dignitaries could stay there. Trump family money grab. #FreshResists
Keep the Senate in session for the 700 hours straight that it will take to move through the promotions due to anti-military @SenTuberville's actions, @SenSchumer! Tubby will cave because he's lazy and hasn't put in a full day's work in his life! #HoldTheLine
I never want to hear the b.s. that Republicans care about “law & order” because clearly, after what they did in TX with AG Paxton and their continued support of Trump, they don’t give a damn about ethics, the rule of law, or any moral standard of any kind.
