This was truly sad.
But, can we just pause here to say that it's ridiculous that SCOTUS is very worried about doctors being "forced" to perform abortions (they're not) but don't care about [checks notes] WOMEN BEING FORCED TO BRING A PREGNANCY TO TERM AGAINST THEIR WILL.
If it is true that Donald Trump’s net worth just increased by more than a billion dollars the public deserves to know why. This is likely the biggest financial windfall for a politician in world history, so it requires a detailed and transparent explanation.
Trump says people in the US illegally are "KILLING" Social Security and Medicare. But Social Security's own actuary has said unauthorized workers are a net benefit to the program's trust fund — they pay into it and aren't eligible for benefits. nbcnews.com/politics/donal…
I'm going to do a thread on today's impeachment hearing featuring Tony Bobulinski and the imprisoned Jason Galanis. Follow along for clips 👇
Ok. Here’s the truth. Biden is old. But he is a decent moral person who is incredibly effective at governing. Trump is old. But he’s a pathologically lying criminal who is incapable of governing and will destroy American Democracy.

We need Medicare for All for two reasons: It’s the best quality health care to the most people, with the lowest long-term price. It’s that simple.
Fear of Trump and fatalism about his impending takeover are what Trump *wants* you to feel. Such sentiments help autocrats galvanize suppporters and cow the opposition. As @ruthbenghiat puts it: “Authoritarians create a climate where they seem unstoppable." 6/…
Waiting for the vote and I reminded Jared Moskowitz that there was never so much chaos in the House when George Santos was Speaker. Jared went over to Santos to tell him that and Santos said, “That’s why I don’t want to be Speaker again.”
The only Black man on the Republican stage reassures the largely white and cheering Republican audience that America isn’t a racist country.
Christiane Amanpour knows the score. And it's not 50-50. At a celebration of her 40 years in the business, @oliverdarcy asked her what assignment has left the biggest imprint. Read her reply.
Because Russia has destroyed hundreds of thousands of tons of Ukrainian grain, people throughout Africa and Asia will be priced out of grain markets and starve. In this sense, and from the beginning, Russia's war in Ukraine was a war against the world.

@hillhulse You're ALLOWED, @hillhulse, to say Kevin McCarthy is entertaining impeachment even though EVERYONE KNOWS THERE'S NO EVIDENCE of wrongdoing, bc he's desperate. That would be competent reporting of what goes on on the Hill.
Trump was indicted for conspiring to overturn the election by: 1) urging states to overrule voters (“find the votes”). 2) fake electors submitted from 7 states. 3) DOJ to falsely allege improprieties. 4) Pence overturning results. These are fraudulent actions, not speech.
That Trump will be tried for his coup attempt is not a violation of his rights. It is a fulfillment of his rights. It is the grace of the American republic. In other systems, when your coup attempt fails, what follows is not a trial.
There were several Republicans who voted No on convicting Trump in the Senate, asserting that the justice system was the place to handle potential Trump crimes.

Four years ago today, Donald Trump suggested injecting disinfectant and light inside of the body could be a possible cure for the coronavirus.
If Judge Merchan doesn’t want to put Trump in jail now for contempt, he shd impose a monitor now to screen his social media so they don’t violate the gag order.
NEW: Once upon a time, a baby Ruby went on the requisite interviews for a summer associate position with a law firm. At one memorable interview, the partner had a plastic model heart on his shelves. 1/
Eric Hovde's Senate race is a Veep episode that just keeps writing itself.
It’s hilarious that Trump supporters actually defend him by saying: “He did NOT tell people to inject bleach!! He simply said doctors should experiment with injecting disinfectant directly into people’s lungs.”
"The disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute, and is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning. It gets in the lungs" -- Trump seems to suggests that injecting disinfectant inside people could be a treatment for the coronavirus
"I'm going to consistently avoid discussing the presidential election" -- Mitch McConnell
NEW: The big takeaway of this morning’s testimony is twofold: Pecker was a very good, albeit transactional, friend of Trump for decades, and the agreement they struck in 2015 went way beyond the “catch and kill” aspect of the scheme that has been known for years.
Joe Biden is the best president we've ever had.
Donald Trump is the worst president we've ever had.
A significant portion of the US wants Disinfectant Man to be President again.

This, from @AshaRangappa_ 's newsletter is so right. He's going to go through some things.
The lesson we should hope that people learn from @SpeakerJohnson’s journey here is that, at the end of the day, in politics as in life, the right thing to do is … the right thing to do.
THANK YOU 🇺🇸! Thank you @SpeakerJohnson for leadership! Thank you to all who voted YES! Real peace can only be achieved through strength! Today all who believe in values of freedom and dignity made decisive step toward just and lasting peace for all of us🇺🇦🤝🇺🇸God bless America.
More specifically, whether it be in politics or in life, you should do the right thing the first time. Delaying almost always backfires.

I know 95 percent of my followers don’t care, and I’m sensitive to that. But as long as the Timberwolves are making a playoff run, there will be some basketball tweets. Thanks for your patience. Normal programming will resume.
@mattgaetz Because you beat him. But there was another path he chose not to take -- working with Dems -- that would've limited the power of the motion to vacate. And instead of owning his failure he's on a panel circuit whining while Mike Johnson does what he should have.
