🧵 1/I'd like to direct everyone to this simple but excellent documentary about NESARA — an early conspiracy theory that resembles QAnon in many important ways. WAITING FOR NESARA (2005) captures elements we are still dealing with 16 years later. https://t.co/mSbQBV57EL
For five years, I have been covering what is unquestionably the biggest criminal justice scandal in American history.
Today it ended when the most corrupt cop in history took his life.
But it's not over.
A thread.
ATTENTION EVERYONE: Please get yourself either a physical or digital copy of @KamalaHarris’s book “The Truths We Hold,” search for Chapter 9, and read pages 228 to the middle of page 240. You’re welcome… 👀👀👀👀
10 dead, 51 wounded so far after 🇷🇺 strike on yet another peaceful building in 🇺🇦 Sumy.
Isn’t it weird: if a mere terrorist did it, he would be hunted - but if putin does it, world leaders call him up. And half twitter blames it on Ukraine.

Four strikes against Tulsi Gabbard (and counting):
1. In a combination of historical illiteracy and just plain immorality, she blamed Putin's invasion of Ukraine in 2014 on Ukraine wanting to join NATO. In fact, Ukrainians weren't in favor of joining NATO until after Putin invaded (Putin doesn't invade countries that join NATO - the Baltics 20 years ago, Finland and Sweden last year; but he invaded non-NATO countries Georgia [2008] and Ukraine [2014]).

2. Her bizarre Pearl Harbor day tweet from 2023 sounds like she thinks that we are in the 1930's, with Japan as our adversary, instead of today when Japan is our much needed ally against Communist China.
“As we remember Japan’s aggression in the Pacific, we need to ask ourselves this question: is the remilitarization of Japan, which is presently underway, truly a good idea? We need to be careful that shortsighted, self-serving leaders do not end up bringing us again face-to-face with a remilitarized Japan” https://t.co/MFeQCLovja
“if Gabbard is approved, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin will have an ideological sympathizer holding the keys to the U.S. intelligence community crown jewels. This is not an exaggeration.” https://t.co/ApXkhLfDVj
3. She's got a soft spot for Assad, too, and was critical of Trump v. Maduro:
“Senate Republicans shouldn’t be distracted: Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination is by far the most dangerous Cabinet pick for America’s national security. . . . Gabbard [earned] the attention of officials from the Syrian Social Nationalist Party, a virulently antisemitic, pro-Assad Syrian nationalist party whose emblem, the Zawbaa, resembles a Nazi swastika. Those officials infamously helped sponsor a free trip for Gabbard to Damascus, where she met with Bashar Assad just weeks before the Khan Shaykhun gas attack. After the subsequent American strikes, Gabbard called Trump’s decision to retaliate “dangerous, rash and unconstitutional.” . . . Gabbard’s bizarre relationship with the Syrian regime is just one of many affinities she maintains with dictatorships opposed to the U.S., from regurgitating pro-Russian rhetoric on the war in Ukraine to accusing Trump of “sabre-rattling” against Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro.” https://t.co/mS2ENo35Pi
4. November 9, 2024 she was endorsed for Secretary of State by all around crackpot and lover of dictators and war criminals Jackson Hinkle.

Breaking: Sources say due to mail in & provisional ballots just counted in the past 24 hours one Harris County judicial race will flip: Now Democrat Perdue will win 133rd district court by 774 votes over GOP Landrum. #Houston
Liz Cheney is a patriot who put country over party in this election. She will likely face more hatred and insults from Donald Trump in the coming months.
RETWEET to thank @Liz_Cheney for putting country over party!
This is former GOP Rep. Michael Grimm. He was recently involved in a tragic accident that has left him paralyzed and is seeking $2.5 million on GoFundMe to cover his expenses.
Grimm voted against the Affordable Care Act to block health care access for millions of Americans.
I say this with every fiber of my being: Put your oxygen mask on first.
Fascists are about to throw all sorts of f*ckery at you, and if you want to help others, you need to take care of yourself first. Please 🙏🏾.
Over the next two months, put together a self-care plan that will sustain you for the next four years (and beyond—that’s the beauty of this—it’s a win-win for you no matter what happens).
Take a beat to journal out what you need to do to be ok (community, therapy, exercise, screaming, journaling, prayer, meditation, cupcakes, etc…). There are so many tools to help us get through this. We will get through this.
And if you need grounding in what’s real - remember that these folks who elevated a rapist to the highest office while claiming to be Christians are f*cking hypocrites. They will try to gaslight you into thinking that they’re right and you’re wrong. They will try to make you doubt reality. They will try to pretend that your empathy is a weakness. It’s not. Our empathy and our moral code will be what get us through this.
Hugs to all of you.
The reason most ppl are cynical about politics in this country is this.
He was the CEO of a company that defrauded Medicare, Medicaid, and other fed. programs. His company got 14 felony convictions. Fined over $2 billion.
No arrests.
Pete Hegseth is not remotely qualified to be Secretary of Defense.
The SecDef makes life-and-death decisions daily that impact our 2 million troops around the globe.
This is not an entry-level job for a TV commentator.
The Senate should do its job and deny this nomination.
Matt Gaetz.
We're going to hear a lot more about his connections to the teenage sex ring (Venmo, Joel G, etc.), "The Game" in Tallahassee, the dead guy in the dorm room, the DUIs...it's going to be a long, long confirmation.
The Middle East North African (MENA) Chamber of Commerce wants to know why Trump broke his promise to them to call for an immediate ceasefire in Palestine and Lebanon on Nov 6. They actually believed him.
Never forget: Kevin McCarthy said, “I'll give you the truth why I'm not speaker. It's because one person, a member of Congress, wanted me to stop an ethics complaint because he slept with a 17-year-old.” That member is Matt Gaetz.
