Everyone should have a Coach Beard in their life

Something he could and should have told the American people on the night of Jan. 6 — when the electoral count resumed and there was still time to impeach Trump and bar him from office for life

[Benjy Sarlin @BenjySarlin]

[Trump impeached for subverting election]

This should be decided by voters, not Congress.

[Trump impeached after subverting same election]

This should be decided by the law, not Congress.

[Trump indicted for subverting election]

This should be decided by voters, not courts.

I really feel we have lost touch with how close we came in 2020 to authoritarianism enforced by nationwide, city-by-city state violence. The forces behind that effort remain widely influential in US politics and their return to power in 15 months is entirely plausible.

[S.V. Dáte @svdate]

Of Donald Trump could be charged criminally for just lying, he’d be in a Supermax for thousands of years.

He was charged for leading a conspiracy to defraud the United States and for his using his office to deprive millions of people of their votes.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

The plan was to stage a coup and then use the military to put down any protest that ensued.

[Seung Min Kim @seungminkim]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump indicted on 4 counts tied to efforts to undermine 2020 election, including 'conspiracy to defraud' US.

highly recommend this thread. american slavery in this curriculum is a crime without perpetrators, a force spanning centuries but with no particular influence on american institutions, an evil that all of your Founding Father heroes opposed but that somehow took a war to end

New with @ShelbyTalcott: Inside War Room Creative Ideas, the now-dead internal DeSantis chat group where meme videos got workshopped by campaign and pitched to "anons" who could tweet them.

"The New York Times reported that the anti-LGBT video was also produced within the campaign. The creator of that video remains on staff, and the content was approved by senior staffers before being sent out"

Like “don’t engage in cannibalism,” this is sound enough advice, but if you routinely find yourself in company that requires it, maybe it’s a sign of deeper problems.

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

i think you're supposed to say stuff like "chocolate chip is overrated" when ppl ask you these questions, not "people don't deserve a living wage"

[Jeffrey Sachs @JeffreyASachs]

Florida: No more indoctrinating our children.
Prager: We are literally here to indoctrinate your children.
Florida: Welcome aboard.

i like that the worst thing this guy can imagine is americans collectively deciding to use the wealth they produce and the taxes they pay to give themselves something nice

[Michael Li 李之樸 @mcpli]

The US economy is by no means an effect, but this defies all logic and reason. The lowest unemployment in 54 years, falling inflation, a continuation of more robust growth than peer mature economies.

[Kendall Brown @kendallybrown]

This thread is by far the dumbest fucking thing I’ve ever seen someone say about country music.

Dude is a New Yorker cosplaying as an Appalachian but apparently feels he is the arbiter of what real country is—more than actual rural folks. We’re apparently just “hick-libs” lol

[Steve Vladeck @steve_vladeck]

It’s not just a “controversial” position; it’s belied by 234 years of practice, and would turn the separation of powers totally on its head.

It’s rather stunning that he’d say this out loud. Stunning—& revealing of the extent to which he thinks the Court *must* be unaccountable.

[southpaw @nycsouthpaw]

I really can’t emphasize enough that there is a provision of of the constitution that expressly gives Congress the authority to make regulations for the Supreme Court to operate under—using the word “regulations.” And there are several others that imply and broaden the power.

[Jay @jaywillis]

I'm being serious when I say that Sam Alito says multiple things in this interview that would, if he were a liberal justice, immediately prompt calls from Republican lawmakers for his impeachment
