Dear @AGToddBlanche: When you pull your head out of trump’s ass, you may want to read the United States Constitution. You did not take an oath to trump. You took an oath to the Constitution.

November is coming.

I am genuinely astonished that, after Donald Trump has spent the past two years stripping Ukraine of virtually all Congressionally-approved aid, threatening Ukraine, fawning over Putin and bending over backwards to please him in every conceivable way, blaming Ukraine for being invaded, hurling vicious, absurd insults, blackmail, and torrents of lies at it, twisting its arm to force it into capitulation, humiliating it with his antics, making it a scapegoat for his own failures and incompetence in the eyes of voters, and now openly and definitively entering into direct collusion with the Kremlin and siding with it in exchange for promised corrupt “business opportunities” for himself, his family, and his inner circle -- there are still people who have the nerve search with a magnifying glass for ways in which Zelensky failed to kiss Trump's ass enthusiastically enough to explain why he has been treating Ukraine this way.

@HankDesmondPhD You were a Professor of Logic? Logic me this - if no cameras were present, where did the photo come from? Oh, you fabricated this bullshit representation of something that never happened and could never happen. Pathetic.

A warlord, a mercenary and a retired hit man walk into a bar. Jared says, I'm buying.

It's true that most people are, on some fundamental level, "unknowable." But I don't think that's true of Elizabeth Holmes. She's just a con artist. That's not mysterious.

Allowing one unelected man to have control over crucial aspects of the US military, allied militaries, the US space program, and so many other aspects of human life is absolutely insane. We were stupid to allow this to happen and it must be fixed ASAP.

After running this gauntlet, we learned that the amount in the account was $9, and the essential missing information was her sex. Kill me now.

Spouse received an urgent email message from her Merril-Edge brokerage account indicating it might be closed if she did not update her user information. Doing so required correctly answering a security question and twice responding with security codes sent to her phone.

@TedyhereMC I did.

There are newspaper clippings from 1978 about the husband of Amy Acton's mother being charged with "the rape of a 12-year-old girl." National Review, a conservative outlet, just confirmed details of Amy Acton's story against court documents. Vivek is a scumbag, and so is everyone involved in creating and promoting this ad. One of the reasons it is so hard for children to come forward and talk about being abused is that they are afraid that no one, even their own family members, will believe them. Team Vivek shows why that fear is unfortunately valid and goes furth by weaponizing it.

[Dan Pfeiffer @danpfeiffer]

This is historic abuse of power

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

Disgraceful. Accessory to the murder of children.

[Molly Jong-Fast @MollyJongFast]

This might be the most disgusting political advertisement I’ve ever seen

[Mark Bothwell @markbothwell]

@JohnCarreyrou @WIRED Wired suggests that everyone was fooled, including them. BS. Many scientists, myself included, recognized Holmes and Theranos as bullshit artists from day one.

@SaveGodsChildre @THEDAYTONDUDE That is a nicely written essay, but irrelevant. The barcode is clearly a sticker added to a scan of the original document, after the fact.

[Marc Polymeropoulos @Mpolymer]

The amount of dissembling and outright lying by the entire Trump admin plus Musk is disgraceful. They all knew. Zero honor. Ukrainians died. Americans in Kyiv put at risk. Congress needs to put document preservation request for this entire affair.

@RapidResponse47 @POTUS @AndrewFeinberg Why would use the incredibly offensive term "Mongoloid Moron"? What's wrong with you? Are you a sick person? I actually think there's something wrong with you.

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

Good morning.

This is your daily reminder that Donald Trump is a traitor.

[Erin Banco @ErinBanco]

Great update from WSJ: Sounds like SpaceX did the technical throttling. And Musk discussed it with admin beforehand

@den_kazansky Trump is fine with that.
