Who ordered Vance to go on such an outrageous attack?
It was completely out of place for a Vice President to speak in such a context. Why did he?
Trump looked surprisingly uncomfortable - seemingly out of control.
Was Vance instructed by the Kremlin?
Any explanation?

Trump just terminated the Chair of the Kennedy Center and has installed himself as the new chair.

He says he will now be dictating the institution’s “art and culture” and says it “must reflect” what he chooses.

@JakeLahut @WIRED Sounds like trafficking

Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power. (After all, if you’re hellbent on staying in power but aren’t likely to win the next election, you can’t have your political opponents running around free.)

To keep fascism out of our lives, vote for democracy!

🧵I’ve read through the evidence section—the first 85 pages—of Jack Smith filing on Trump’s private criminal efforts to stay in power despite knowing that he’d lost the election.

The evidence is stunning. It’s clear why Trump did not want the public to see this testimony.

13 things jumped out to me on Trump’s attempt to defraud the American people and steal the 2020 election.

@PinkRangerLB The book “Dying of Whiteness” gets into this attitude. People will vote against things they would benefit from but “undeserving” folks would then get the same, eg expanded Medicaid or school funding.

@sarahmichellekk So sorry. My dad would have been there for you. In a blizzard. With extra boots and hamburgers. And the name of a garage that already knew you were coming.

@dcpoll @CharlesPPierce “People are dying all over the place,” Trump said, later adding “we’re literally an uncivilized country now.” Gee. Huh. Where’d that come from?

@SteveBurke2000 @DavidShapiro98 @HaydenLaverty That was our experience. It’s been a long time, but I recall it being that or more, possibly.
