Reminder that Roger Stone was in regular contact with Russian agents in 2016 trying to get his hands on material the Russians had hacked from the DNC.

🚨🚨🚨A standing ovation for the Washington Post, @wapo . 👏👏👏

You spent a full year investigating whether America's Director of National Intelligence, the woman with access to every classified secret this country has, was being directed by a cult leader who got busted for pyramid schemes in multiple countries.

And you held it until she resigned?

This same cult leader, Chris Butler, has his sect directly tied to QI Group (QNET), a Hong Kong-based company with operations across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

So the real question: Which countries now have access to our national intelligence? Which of our spy names are compromised?

And let's not forget, this is the same Tulsi Gabbard who used her position to do a coordinated hit job on Dr. Fauci, a man who spent his entire life saving Americans.

Imagine if this story dropped while she still had her hands on our nation's secrets.

Our press and mainstream media are failing us at every level.

Trump insists that the historical fact that Hitler’s own people tried to kill him on more than one occasion is a lie; but, there it is…

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Trump's own loyalists are beginning to abandon ship, and the replacements are only getting worse.

Hi @jaredpolis I say this with respect—as you follow me on here—but I have to ask: how much pot were you smoking when you did this interview?
Tina Peters was not convicted in a court of law for "having strange beliefs." She was convicted for criminal offenses.

Charlie Sykes was kicked off this platform for…….basically, not being pro-Trump, it seems. TOTAL BS ! !

Rather, the rules are: act in ways that benefit autocracy and cozy up to Orban Lukashenko and other Putin vassals.

But only bribes to Donald

[David Frum @davidfrum]

Foreign bribes are OK. Only foreign trade is bad.

[The Venerable Bede @venerable_the]

I predicted when he began his second term that he wouldn’t complete it, either due to physical or mental infirmity, or (most likely) both. It’s an easy call to stand by that !

Authoritarian Megalomania alert

[Ruth Ben-Ghiat @ruthbenghiat]

Personal grievance and ego offense elevated to policy. Also, Putin needs it to be this way.

[Masih Alinejad 🏳️ @AlinejadMasih]

We wake up every morning to the news of another execution.
They are traumatizing an entire nation.
This morning the Islamic Republic executed Ali Fahim, another detainee for protesting.

With this execution, the number of political prisoners put to death in Iran’s prisons over the past week has risen to 11.

Say their names.
Do not normalize this.

Your reminder AGAIN that Kilmar Abrego Garcia agreed to be deported to Costa Rica back in August, and the Trump administration has been fighting tooth and nail NOT to deport him there ever since.

Instead, they're fighting to deport him to any African country that will take him.

“Trumpism”was never about conservatism; it was always about Trump, nothing more.

[Mike Madrid @madrid_mike]

Donald Trump didn’t betray the Conservative movement - he never was one

“As a result of the disfigurement of the Republican Party, conservatism is politically homeless. That is a terrible loss for the GOP, and a greater loss for America,” @Peter_Wehner https://t.co/asmsxSrbU5

Chief Judge finds essentially "no evidence " of a crime in investigation of Fed Reserve chair Jerome Powell.
Rare to see this kind of slam-- which is a big blow to DOJ pursuing this case at all

We Republicans -- I was one, pre-Trumpification -- used to say that the Democrats were naïve about the Kremlin. Gullible. You know, I'm not sure they were ever this bad. Putin must not be able to believe his luck.

People may think it’s hyperbolic when I call out what DHS is doing and saying but it’s often because they do not know what DHS is doing and saying. Thank you for sharing, Senator Kennedy

[The Venerable Bede @venerable_the]

NO, we CANNOT take them at their word!

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Q: Have the Russians shared intelligence with Iran about the location of U.S. military assets? If so, why would we be giving waivers on Russian oil sanctions?

Witkoff: The Russians said that they haven't been sharing. We can take them at their word

yes, the irony is that the advent of fake AI-generated footage is increasing the importance of respectable, professional gatekeepers of information like never before. you have to only believe stuff from people you trust.

So oil at 110 a barrel and another Khamenei in charge of Iran . Operation Epic Fury is in danger of turning into Operation Epic Failure
