The media is finally getting their shit together and writing accurate headlines about the former president. This is my favorite from today. #Media#Elections#USPolitics#Trump
“President Volodymyr #Zelensky has extended an invitation to Donald #Trump to visit Kyiv, with a specific condition attached.
Speaking with U.K. broadcaster Channel 4 News, Zelensky said that Trump would be warmly received in the capital under one stipulation: the former U.S. president must demonstrate his ability to bring an end to the war with Russia within 24 hours, as he once promised.” #Ukraine
Holy shit. Univision, the nation's largest Spanish-language network, has decided to cancel ad-buys by the #Biden campaign in Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, & Florida after #Trump met with their executives last week. Our media continues to fail us. This is how our democracy dies.
1 reason why #Trump's comments about abandoning #NATO matter are, 1st & foremost, bc he ordered GOP to abandon #Ukraine which virtually all near-Ukraine allies think makes them next
He is, in front of our faces, delivering Ukraine up to Putin as a gift.
But the other reason it matters is bc we SAW this call-and-response in '16 & '20, when Trump got help from Russian spies
From focus on the 'soft voice' of extremist #MikeJohnson to soft-selling #Trump's dictatorial plans to calling killing civilians 'a crater,' something's very wrong with the #media today
It's called cowardice
From Gaza City to Capitol Hill, a cowed media is chronicling the death of democracy in a passive voice
So, the former president of the United States is calling on states to take up arms to support Texas in its standoff against the federal government. That’s about as close to calling for civil war as you’re going to get without actually saying the words.
This is a situation that could spiral out of control in a heartbeat. I would not assume it’s just bluster. #politics#texas#trump#immigration
I will die on this hill:
We will not fix our democracy until we start doing criminal prosecutions of the wealthy again. Not just weakly using DPAs and fines
and prosecutions of corporations.
Musk and the hospital execs in the news today must face threats of jail.
No fine will ever break a billionaire— they just pay out some funds and move on. But criminal charges can take down their lifestyle and hold them truly accountable. #musk#doj#trump#indictment
BREAKING: Someone did this to the #Trump star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The “culprit” (genius) behind this has been identified. It’s the brilliant @PlasticJesus9 at the birdsite…
The United States Dept of War produced a film called “Don’t be a sucker” in 1947 specifically addressing the tenets of Nazisim and fascism in a bid to prevent this from happening again.
It’s amazing that almost 80 years later, that we are having the same conversation (about Nazis)
"When #Nevada’s Republican voters receive their sample ballots for the state’s presidential primary this month, the name of the party’s frontrunner will be missing.
His absence has nothing to do with any legal challenges to Trump’s eligibility to participate in the state’s primary...
The bar the public seems to have is so low,
we don't even hear
HIS DAMAGED SPEECH anymore.
"#Trump …spiraling into "phonemic paraphasias" during his rally speeches, which is "substitution of non-words for words that sound similar—are not normally seen until a patient enters the moderate to severe stages of #alzheimers
"Some examples of Trump’s non-words: Beneficiaries becomes 'benefishes.' Renovations become 'renoversh.'
Pivotal became 'pivobal.' Obama became 'obamna.'
Missiles became 'mishiz.' Christmas became 'Crissus.'
Bipartisan became 'bipars.'
This is a fundamental breakdown in the ability to use language."
A judge has ruled that #Trump committed fraud for years while building the real estate empire that catapulted him to fame and the White House.
Judge Engoron, ruling Tuesday in a civil lawsuit brought by #NewYork’s attorney general, found that the former president and his company deceived banks, insurers and others by massively overvaluing his assets and exaggerating his net worth on paperwork used in making deals and securing financing. #legal 1/...
Joyce Vance: “This is a five-alarm fire. We know what the reaction would be if Joe #Biden tweeted a photo of a bound and gagged Donald #Trump in the trunk of an electric car. Why does Donald Trump get more leeway, especially with his past history? He only continues to get it because our institutions—the courts, the Republican party—let him take it.”

Whoops! somebody got the soot on their hands this time
