The phases of Trump's coup:
1) Refuse to concede
2) Plot to overturn the election
3) Attempt to discredit the criminal justice system
4) Seek reelection by intensifying lies
5) “Retribution”
The last phases will be the most dangerous yet.
As the right wing floods the media with wild allegations, remember that there is a world of difference between words spoken for an audience and words spoken under oath. The two cannot be compared, although right wingers are desperately trying to blur the distinction.
BREAKING: Donald Trump freaks out after returning to Mar-a-Lago for the first time after the raid, calls it a “crime” scene, claims the FBI “ransacked” it and hilariously whines that they “didn’t even take of their shoes” in his bedroom. RT IF YOU SUPPORT THE FBI MAR-A-LAGO RAID!
BREAKING: Biden's Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre pulls no punches — says that Sen. Lindsey Graham's threat of "riots in the streets" if Donald Trump is prosecuted proves that Biden was right about MAGA Republicans embracing "semi-fascism." RT IF YOU SUPPORT BIDEN'S REMARKS!
Biden has it right. If we lose the House & the Senate in November, Republicans will pass a nationwide ban on abortion. That means Democrats must fight for every seat.
Here’s how Dems can + must do more than wait for an election.
Let’s start w/ why:
- 7 of the 9 justices were appointed by a party that hasn’t won a popular vote more than once in 30 years
- 1 of those seats was stolen
- Several lied to Congress to secure their appointment…

@StevenBeschloss The way I understand it is the Russians filtered money through the NRA to give to trumps campaign in 2016 is that what you’re referring to. And I’m glad you’re one of the few people that don’t forget these things
Of course Donald Trump went to the NRA conference in Houston and finished his talk with a little dance. Because he’s a sociopath. Because he doesn’t value human life. Because the Russian-backed NRA gave him millions of dollars and that’s all he cares about.
That media talks about baby formula shortage w/o knowing whats going on is amazing. Trump's USMCA restricted imports of formula from Canada, so we imported no formula from Canada in 2021, leaving us vulnerable to domestic shock. The shock hit when Abbott plant was contaminated.
You, @EliseStefanik, have the blood of your fellow NYers on your hands. You spread the hate that fueled this shooter and even paid for FB ads to push the white supremist extremist "great replacement" theory. Now people are paying for your political ambition with their lives.
