1/ Hey, y’all - I’ve got a new investigation out.

We obtained never-before-seen videos featuring RUSS VOUGHT, a leader in the MAGA movement and former Trump official.

He lays out his sweeping plans for a second Trump admin — and his extreme vision for the country.

It's 🧵 time

i'd vaguely heard about the US election in 2000 actually being "stolen" and i looked it up and it seems consensus is

- the entire US election came down to florida
- the difference in votes was <0.1%, not statistically significant
- polling machine had hardware issues way higher than <0.1%
- florida could have decided to actually and properly hand count the votes
- the state's highest supreme court decided to do that
- bush asked the supreme court to intervene in a state's free & independent ability to run its own elections
- the voting was exactly on partisan lines: the 5 republican judges declared bush the winner
- they cited reasoning that competes for one of the most transparently dishonest rulings of all time
- the single most comprehensive study after the fact found that if the votes had been properly counted, gore would have won
- this is not factoring in a calculated, well-documented attempt by republican governor of florida to suppress thousands of votes, in black counties for al gore, by the official US election commission

Again it is somehow not breaking through that TRUMP’S TOP SURROGATE IS LITERALLY PROMISING ECONOMIC HARDSHIP FOR ALL AMERICANS

Trump is literally Hitler, but we put the Hitler quotes in Comic Sans to make it funny

Israel is literally wiping out apartment buildings in Beirut tonight.

Let that sink in—residential buildings full of Lebanese families.

In what universe is this considered “self-defense”?

[Tristan Snell @TristanSnell]

BREAKING: Israeli media reports Netanyahu BLOCKED every cease fire deal -- and is continuing to do so.

Why?

Because he's made a SECRET DEAL WITH TRUMP to keep the war going, to help Trump get elected -- per PBS.

This is not just a scandal - it's a FEDERAL FELONY.

This cow was found this morning in the dead pile at Cream Top dairy in Tulare. The rendering truck quickly came by to pick her up. Today I saw many more cows who seemed sick at the large dairies around here—the ones that had gotten dairy digester funding. Many cows were laying down and looking lethargic. There were a ton of rendering trucks out making the rounds before sunrise, as well as lots of livestock trucks.

There are still no signs anywhere warning the public of the outbreak or telling people not to touch the cows.

A week ago a portrait of this whale’s eye went viral on all the content scraping pages.

Days later, her upper jaw was ripped off by a speeding vessel. The video just emerged.

I think everyone who marveled at her eye should see it.

Vice President Harris: Within hours of taking the oath, we introduced a bill to fix our broken immigration system. It was not taken up

Fox host: *interrupts*

Vice President Harris: May I finish responding to you? I supported a bill by some of the most conservative members of Congress to actually strengthen the border. It would have put 1,500 more border agents at the border. It would have allowed us to stem the flow of fentanyl coming into the United States. Donald Trump told them to kill it because he prefers to run on a problem instead of fixing a problem. Americans want a president who's not playing political games

[The Editorial Board @johnastoehr]

Trump reveals his dementia in an interview with Bloomberg, as Harris puts his fascism in the context of his dementia. A THREAD

[Acyn @Acyn]

Kamala Harris: He refuses to release his medical records. He is unwilling to do a 60 Minutes interview. He is unwilling to meet for a second debate. Why does his staff want him to hide away? Are they afraid that people will see he is too weak and unstable to lead America?

[Christopher Hale @ChristopherHale]

Former President Trump had 44 cabinet secretaries. 40 of them don’t support his 2024 campaign.

Neither does his Vice President nor any of his former chiefs of staff.

"The Kavanaugh investigation stopped" is a Watergate level story

"The Putin gets COVID testing machines meant for hospitals" is an Iran-Contra level story

"The 7 calls with Putin while in possession of classified materials" is a Rosenberg level story

@drcrystalheath @DrFarazHarsini Tax dollars aren't a good way to describe the government subsidies of animal agriculture.

🧵I also read through the second half of Jack Smith’s filing on Trump’s private criminal efforts to stay in power despite knowing he’d lost the election: the Legal Framework and Not Immune sections (pages 85-164, sec II and III).

Collectively, these sections should also be known as: Let’s Not Let Presidents Crime.

13 things jumped out to me.

[Schrödinger's Litter Box @Brewjew308]

🧵 One of the things that genuinely pisses me off regularly is the absolute non-coverage of the fact that everything the Biden administration has had to deal with for 4 years are specific, unambiguous examples of Donald Trump's intentional sabotage of this country.

Can we get 500 retweets on this video of Kamala Harris humiliating Donald Trump on Call Her Daddy

[Art Candee 🍿🥤 @ArtCandee]

CNN's resident fact checker, Daniel Dale, put together a timeline of Donald Trump's lies about FEMA and the federal response to Hurricane Helene:

Monday: Trump falsely claims Biden hasn’t answered calls from Georgia’s governor
Monday: Trump cites baseless ‘reports’ about anti-Republican bias in the North Carolina response
Thursday: Trump falsely claims the Biden-Harris response had received ‘universally’ negative reviews
Thursday: Trump falsely claims Harris spent ‘all her FEMA money’ on housing illegal migrants
Friday: Trump falsely claims $1 billion was ‘stolen’ from FEMA for migrants and has gone ‘missing’
Saturday: Trump falsely claims the federal government is only giving $750 to people who lost their homes
Saturday: Trump falsely claims there are ‘no helicopters, no rescue’ in North Carolina

I'm so over that man's lies.
