The Kremlin is literally directing Russian media to feature Tucker Carlson as pro-Putin propaganda.

[robert patrick @brocrob]

Pro-Putin, Kremlin talking points, @FoxNews, the #PutinTrumpGOPCult mouthpiece in the US, and @TuckerCarlson is an American traitor. #TruthAndFact

[Finley Bigdog @FinleyBigdog]

Want proof that Republicans are Putin loving Traitors. @TuckerCarlson and @FoxNews is played every night on Russian Propaganda TV in Moscow and not 1 Republican Commie hater has dragged him out of the NewsCorp bldg yet. Proof @GOP and Fox is the Putin Party!

@Marketplace Some context to your moment of context: If Black-owned business dropped by 40% at the start of the pandemic and have seen 30% gains lately, they are still down 22% from Pre-pandemic levels. 😕

With CLIMATE CHANGE, there is no FIRE SEASON anymore. Since June, the area burning near Boulder, CO has had a mere 1.5" of precipitation and record warm weather. Combine with hurricane force winds & the result is a FIRESTORM! @denverchannel #cowx #climatechange

@Rodericka @MIGOP @GovWhitmer @dananessel @JocelynBenson Can’t “like” this as the hate and dog whistling this scum bag is promulgating could never be liked. @UMich needs to remove him as a regent for gross negligence.
As an alumni I can’t believe he ever spoke for them.

[Van @jvrudd]

As a human being I’m appalled. As a UM grad I’m furious this kind of scumbag is a regent to my alma mater. @UMich needs to remove him as a regent NOW!!

[Rodericka Applewhaite @Rodericka]

WATCH: @MIGOP Chairman refers to @GovWhitmer, AG @DanaNessel, and @JocelynBenson as "three witches" that need to get "taken out" at a "burning of the stake."

Make no mistake. With last year's kidnapping attempt on Whitmer, Ron Weiser knows exactly what he's feeding into. #mipoli

⁦@TuckerCarlson⁩
Are you going to apologize to your listeners and tell them it was the failure of the market and not the windmills you were tilting at that caused Texans to die? https://t.co/y78ymeOrE3

“...they shall all sit under their own vines and under their own fig trees, and no one shall make them afraid...” My favorite quote and song from Hamilton and a part of @TheAmandaGorman inaugural.
Beautiful and thank you.

@jensquietonhere @justinbaragona The blank stare that followed that comment was just priceless
