🚨 BREAKING President Biden has moved with urgency and approved a disaster declaration for Hawaii and “ordered federal aid to supplement state and local recovery efforts in the areas affected by wildfires."
I know I am biased, but I don't think I have ever seen an administration move quicker on emergency situations like this than the Biden Administration. And it doesn't matter whether it's a blue state or red state. There is urgency and help sent.
👏 👏 👏
Facts:
-You are facing 78 felonies in 3 jurisdictions
-Your VP, AG and chief of staff will testify against you.
-Every witness is a Republican
-You lost every challenge in court to the election results
-This isn’t a first amendment case
-You’re running your mouth-not the prosecution
-your grammar and spelling stinks
Megan Rapinoe, is today being vilified by the right, not because America didn’t win the women’s World Cup, but because she had the audacity to stand up for women’s rights and equal pay for women in sport. Oh and for being gay.
She helped put women’s soccer on the sporting world map, delivering US soccer victory, time and time again.
Sportsmen and women around the world sometimes come up short, it proves they are human. One woman does not make a team and I’m sure every member of the team is devastated because they are their own worst critics.
Her service to US women’s soccer will remain legendary, and no amount of vile abuse from right wing lunatics using her to deflect from the crimes of defendant Trump, will diminish that.
This is a young team who will continue to deliver for US soccer. Long after criminal defendant Trump is convicted of defrauding the American people.

BREAKING: Donald Trump is rocked by bombshell news as a former Homeland Security official comes forward to reveal an overlooked part of Special Counsel Jack Smith's indictment so chilling that he says his "blood ran cold."
According to former Army officer Kevin Carroll — the man who served as senior counsel to Trump's Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly — we came dangerously close to Donald Trump using the U.S. military to murder American civilians.
He stated that Trump's advisers "would have put the U.S. military in the position of defying orders or turning their weapons on civilians.”
Carroll said that "as a veteran" he felt his blood run cold when reading two specific passage in Jack Smith's indictment.
In them, Smith details how Trump and his election-denying attorneys meticulously constructed an "autocratic plan to remain in power" aimed at forcing the U.S. military to "choose between subservience to civilian control or refusing to undertake an anti-democratic domestic political role."
Carroll pointed to Trump's Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark remark that they had options to put down any riots that might spring up if Trump illegally remained in power by saying: "That’s why there’s an Insurrection Act."
Just as evil, Trump's outside counsel John Eastman addressed the possible riots by coldly observing that certain points in American history have necessitated violence.
We came VERY close to Trump abusing his powers as commander-in-chief to murder innocent people to keep himself in in the White House. Carroll explained further—
"The armed services were to be told to use force against Americans to keep Trump in office, despite the objective fact, as established in more than 60 judicial proceedings, that Biden won the 2020 election," explained Carroll explains. He added that it could have easily resulted in a "tragic loss of life."
"Generals would be forced to choose whether to abandon an unbroken tradition of American military obedience to civilian control, or turn their guns on civilians to facilitate a losing candidate remaining in the White House beyond Inauguration Day," Carroll added.
Most damningly for Trump, Carroll concluded that the "potential harm" of the then-president's plans to use the military should "should be taken into account in the former president’s sentencing" in his 2020 election criminal case.
Carroll is absolutely right. The fact that we are even debating whether or not Donald Trump — man who tried to destroy our democracy and install himself as king — should go to prison is an indictment of us all.
Trump deserves prison above all else.

Meet the 6 times bankrupt, soon to be 4 times indicted, loser of the House, the Senate and The White House. The man who made grave digging great again and brought new meaning to the term herd immunity, sealing the fate of 1.2 million Americans to die a terrible death. The man who waved goodbye to 10 million jobs, called armed service members ‘suckers and losers’ and released 5000 Taliban prisoners, before surrendering Afghanistan. The man who added $7.8 trillion to the national debt, all before inciting an insurrection, in an attempt to deny the will of the American people.
A convicted tax cheat and proven rapist, who stole from his own charity, and wilfully deceived his supporters, by turning one time donations into a recurring piggy bank to refurbish his private jet and pay his legal fees.
The poster boy for white supremacist groups across America. A wife cheating darling of the evangelical right, taking credit for overturning of Roe v Wade, which has led to the death and infertility of innocent women, from denial of life saving reproductive healthcare.
Nobody is a bigger LOSER than Criminal defendant Trump. A man where honesty, decency, honor and integrity goes to die.
In the biggest political joke of the century, he is now the presumptive nominee for the Republican Party, to run for the office of President of The United States in 2024.
WHAT ARE WE DOING? No,really? WHAT ARE WE DOING?
The whole world is looking on in horror, as the global beacon for democracy is being turned into an embarrassing international bad joke.

I know that Democrats and Republicans disagree on almost every issue, but...
WTF is up with Senator Tommy Tuberville blocking all of those military promotions, leaving our Marines and Navy without Senate-confirmed leaders?
He's wrecking our military readiness and jeopardizing national security for a political stunt. NOBODY should be OK with this, DEM or GOP.
Where is the bipartisan condemnation of this boneheaded jackass???
Why is Piers Morgan as well as some Americans and Canadians so upset about this photo of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau with his son Xavier, wearing pink?
Who cares? Men can wear pink. If you are afraid to wear pink I’d say you might be the one with the problem. Seeing a father and son together going to the movies should be praised. The color of their outfits should be ignored. Get a life. Goto the movies and wear pink, be daring or something. Getting angry about it on social media says more about you than them.
It’s soon approaching 9 months that Tommy Tuberville has deliberately blocked military promotions leaving two branches of US military without Senate-confirmed leaders. This is an assault on national security.
The face of a fascist traitor.
@kylenabecker Criminals belong in prison. What is sad is that people like you who choose a criminal over their own country, over democracy, over democracy.
Breaking: Here is a photo of Joe Biden meeting with Hunter Biden's business partner.
Whoops, never-mind. This is Donald Trump meeting with Don Jr.'s business partner Gentry Beach before giving Beach access to the White House.
Don Jr. has a history of doing business with Beach and even invested $650,000 into Beach's company during Trump's presidency, while Beach was also given access to the WH on several occasions, including official WH meetings.
The goal of attending those meetings was reportedly to get the U.S. to remove sanctions against Venezuela, which would have benefitted Beach's businesses.
In fact Beach bragged that "If I called up there and asked someone to do me a favor, could I get in the door? Sure"
He also said “I have many friends throughout the entire White House."
Additionally, Beach was at the center of a controversial right before Trump's inauguration, to set up a nonprofit with Trump's sons, which critics said appeared to sell access to the president.
Should James Comer open up an investigation into Don Jr. and Donald Trump for pedaling influence?
Jim Jordan:
You are a liar and a coward.
You would rather put your defense of Donald Trump above the Constitution (which you took an oath to defend), and US.
Every Republican I speak to in Ohio seems to agree that you are a disgrace to the office you hold, and are a danger to our safety, country and democracy.
Trump has been accused of a number of serious crimes, including obstruction of justice, witness tampering, conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, inciting an insurrection, etc.
There is overwhelming evidence to support these accusations, and Trump has refused to cooperate with any investigations into his conduct.
Despite this, you have continued to defend Trump. Since you’re so keen on conducting failed investigations, why don’t you investigate a real crime/criminal this time.
Your loyalty to Trump should not blind you to the truth and your duty to our country.
Your defense of Trump is not only misguided, but it is also harmful to our democracy.
We need a leader, with balls of steel, who is willing to stand up for what is right, even when it is unpopular. I am that leader!
You are worst kind of politician and your lies make you unworthy of the office you hold.
It’s time for you to resign.
BREAKING: Rachel Maddow destroys Donald Trump over today’s indictment in a POWERFUL late-night rant in front of millions of live MSNBC viewers that must be heard by EVERY American who gives a damn about our struggling democracy.
Maddow didn’t mince words, declaring that, “If the allegations in this indictments are proven beyond a reasonable doubt, and a jury convicts him of his crimes, history is NOT going to ask, “How did America get the point where they indicted a former president?”
Instead, history is going to ask, “How did America get to the point where such a person could be elected to the presidency of the United States, where actions such as these could be carried out from the Oval Office, directed by a person who was elected president by the American people, along with his advisors? This is a grave day and a serious one for our country.”
Well said, Rachel. America is at a crossroads — and the ONLY way to preserve our democracy is to lock Trump up for good and set an example for future generations, and future presidents, to come.
Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Rachel Maddow for holding Trump accountable — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKj4Hp
@mtgreenee@PaulaYScanlan What’s truly sad is that these cases are indicative of a small percentage of encounters with trans women.
What’s worse is the fact that republicans are deliberately targeting a very small portion of the population - <2%.
