@Jose_Pagliery love how he proves the decision in a tweet blasting the decision. No way Mar-A-Lago is worth $18B LOL

The Republican strategist who tried to threaten me for revealing the FBI's investigation into his sexual abuse of teenage girls is heading to the slammer for a long time.

The idea that the left has gained "nothing" through its engagement in Democratic politics since 2016 is so clearly false, I have a hard time understanding how anyone who follows politics closely could actually believe it.

If you're wondering why grocery shopping is still so expensive, it's b/c companies like Coke, Pepsi, and Unilever are all price gouging!!! If @nytimes put this story on A1 instead of below the fold on B4, more people might know this 🙃

The Cult of Musk has created its echo chamber. Bigots and fanboys will destroy a platform that was once a global town square...

This is utterly bananas. Judge Cannon just set Trump's Mar-a-Lago classified docs trial in August.

That's 2 months away.

If this sticks, she's doing him a favor by getting this out of the way before the 2024 election heats up.

To convict Trump in FL, the feds must:

• overcome a DJT-loyal judge *he* appointed
• find jurors who haven't already embraced DeSantis’ authoritarianism or aren't militant rightwing Cubans
• face locals who simply shrug at public corruption

These #DebtCeiling talks are wild. Imagine getting your bill at a restaurant and refusing to pay it unless they lower their menu prices for the next time you eat there. Wild.

Feel bad for all the women and female presenting folks who walk into the men's restroom when the line is too long

FL made it a misdemeanor to refuse to leave a facility that conflicts with what your documents said on the day u were born, something u can’t readily prove without carrying your birth certificate around, basically codifying gendered harassment into law

@TravelGov The online renewal was a joke, taking longer than estimated and the NPIC staff is no help except to mock that we didn't expedite. We need this by Wednesday but there are no appointments available in person.

Florida's governor has been on an authoritarian MAGA rampage.

A lone prosecutor might grind that to a halt.

Here's look at the case that could check Ron DeSantis' power trip.
