“THEY’RE FORCING US TO TOLERATE THEM!” conflates existence with an act of aggression. It is a familiar refrain used by the opponents of racial integration, of homosexuality, of transgender people. They resent having to tolerate others, so they imply “force” is involved.

GOP abortion policy - which includes using the government to monitor the menstrual cycles of women - seems senseless until you consider the scope of pseudo-religious cult compounds where they are raping and impregnating victims.

They want control over those births.

And where on earth might someone get classified older maps and Ukraine/Russia documents? I mean, do we know anyone who might have stolen classified docs from previous battles in Ukraine and handed them over to bad actors so they could doctor them or use them as templates? 5/

Then we have the Hunter Biden laptop where Russia stole Hunter's emails, added and falsified some and commingled them with authentic emails, and tried to pass it off as all authentic. 3/ https://t.co/cQiS21d3XZ

THOUGHTS ON THE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS LEAKS: Russia has a well-documented history of distributing disinformation through stealing documents, doctoring some, and leaving other authentic documents to boost the legitimacy of the falsified documents. 1/

Donald Trump is reportedly using @Jim_Jordan and @SpeakerMcCarthy as his taxpayer-funded legal defense team to interfere in an ongoing criminal investigation.

If true, this is a gross abuse of power and they must explain to the American people exactly what coordination exists.

"Clarence Thomas’s Billionaire Benefactor Collects Hitler Artifacts. Harlan Crow also reportedly has a garden full of dictator statues."

Alternate view: Young people, their souls not deformed by whipped-up resentments and grievances, and their minds not corroded by curdled nostalgia, are voting with clearer eyes and more civic spirit than their elders.

So, the folks who accuse the left of grooming and pedophilia want forced genital inspections of children?

Guys, if you're tempted to follow an old man in transit between his two homes, why not check out all of the prosecutions of the Justice Department instead? There are tons! https://t.co/TGa4ChjwhN

With all the republican lies circulating these days I just wanted to remind everyone the longest serving republican House Speaker in history went to prison for abusing children.

NEW: I’m not sure people fully appreciate how dire the US life expectancy / mortality situation has got.

And some utterly damning charts.

1) at *every* point on the income distribution, Americans live shorter lives than the English.

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

Time for perhaps the most damning stat of all:

One in 25 American five-year-olds today will not make it to their 40th birthday.

No parent should ever have to bury their child, but on average across the US one set of parents from every kindergarten class most likely will.

Every hour another conservative man cries on TV about Donald Trump's indictment...

[Lawrence O'Donnell @Lawrence]

There's nothing even slightly sad in indicting a former president who committed crimes.

Not indicting a former president who committed crimes would be very sad.

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

For over three decades, they’ve thrown everything they could at Hillary Clinton.

Lifted every rock, combed through every detail, made every insinuation, cast every doubt, muttered every cruelty, and outright lied about her as often as they breathed.

Zero indictments.

Hard to believe that Donald Trump having sex resulted in something worse for him than Don Jr.
