As Trump’s lawyers are reminding us, a president who is above the law in principle is a vicious dictator in practice.
If this was a functioning democracy, we wouldn’t be waiting for 2 justices who took secret gifts from billionaires and 3 others appointed by a criminal to tell us whether it’s OK for the president to murder his rivals.
The Trump White House makes a lot more sense when you consider Pecker’s testimony today that describes a sitting president preoccupied with Karen McDougal, welcoming tabloid executives into the Oval Office to discuss the matter.
What transpired at the Supreme Court today scares me more than January 6th did. America is hanging from a precipice by one hand.
Mr. Ivan, 88 years old, left the occupied part of Ocheretyne, Donetsk region, on his own in order not to receive Russian citizenship. He walked all night and was under shelling to reach the territory controlled by Ukraine. Volunteers met him on the road and took him to a safe…

I am in shock that a lawyer stood in the U.S Supreme Court and said that a president could assassinate his political opponent and it would be immune as "an official act." I am in despair that several Justices seemed to think this answer made perfect sense.
Strong solidarity with the student protestors. Consent for genocidal war crimes is crumbling and this is just the beginning.
Per SCOTUS, Presidents don't have the authority to forgive student loans but they can have the political rivals assassinated.
The European Parliament's refusal to recognize Putin's presidency is a turning point. Here’s why it matters 🧵👇
It really is incredible how the West, especially the U.S., did absolutely nothing to try to beat back Russian imperialism in the early 1990s. Nothing when Moscow carved up Moldova. Nothing when Moscow intervened in Georgia. Nothing when Moscow invaded Chechnya. Nothing.
No doubt this is true. But we seem to have an identical problem chez Twitter.
With all due respect, this trounces computer animation.
Stanislav Canyon, Kherson, Ukraine. Situated to the west of the city of Kherson, this local 'Grand Canyon' is just one of the many breathtaking destinations you’ll encounter when exploring the southern regions of Ukraine.

So while Sarah Huckabee Sanders was telling reporters the Karen McDougal story was ‘fake news’ as WH Press Secretary she was in fact colluding with David Pecker to keep McDougal silent.
Umm. David Pecker testifies that he had a joint call with Hope Hicks and Sarah Huckabee Sanders — taxpayer funded WH officials, at the time — about whether Karen McDougal’s contract should be extended. "Both of them said that they thought it was a good idea," Pecker said.
