For those who don’t recognize where Trump gets his vermin language from, here’s the original Nazi source material. Watch it with your own eyes:

's press secretary Kayleigh McEnany has voted by mail 11 times in 10 years So it's only voter fraud if Democrats do it?

Trump's legal team is now arguing that it's totally ok for the president to criminally conspire with a foreign government for assistance in a presidential campaign.
@AP
The expression on his face and his nonchalant behavior in the video suggests he does this all the time. Just another day in racist American policing.
Watch Kevin McCarthy completely dodge the question of his funding from Lev Parnas. Every journalist should confront him with this question until he answers.
REPORTER: Can you respond to Parnas, who gave money to your campaign, hiding payments from Russia, & also to Trump suggesting Dingell is in hell?
McCARTHY: I thought you were going to ask me about the IG report & spying on the Trump campaign. And I considered John to be a friend

Fifty years ago the Washington Post would have been editorializing about Chile’s vast copper deposits and how it wouldn’t be fair to US telecom companies to nationalize such an important and profitable strategic commodity.
During the debate over the Homeland Security Act of 2002 which created the all powerful DHS, many of us warned it could turn into the Department of Fatherland Security someday. That day is today. Time to abolish this fascistic agency.
"I don't need invitations by the state, state mayors, or state governors to do our job. We're going to do that, whether they like us there or not.” — acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf
The Brooklyn Public Library is offering a free library card to anyone in the U.S. aged 13 to 21 who wants to check out books digitally.
Called Books UnBanned, the program was created in response to a nationwide wave of book bans and restrictions.
Remember when Trump said Brett Kavanaugh deserved the presumption of innocence when he was being investigated by the FBI? That only seems to apply to white people.

This research is specific to the acidics, CBGA and CBDA in particular. People aren’t smoking acidics. You’d need to consume them pre-decarboxylated raw/fresh or stabilized in a capsule or tincture.
Just a reminder that this Oval Office photo was taken in May 2017 — a day after Trump fired James Comey. The only reason we know he met with Russia’s Ambassador Kislyak & Foreign Minister Lavrov is because the RUSSIAN press released the photo to gloat. Trump wanted it kept quiet.
Trump is now confusing the Russia investigation with Hunter Biden's laptop. He's just out here freestyling. The term "I'll have what he's smoking" comes to mind.
“President Donald Trump is treating life-saving medical equipment as emoluments he can dole out as favors to loyalists,” the Denver Post editorial begins. “It’s the worst imaginable form of corruption — playing political games with lives.”
Trump's tweet about "immediately sending 100 Ventilators to Colorado at the request of Senator Gardner!" seemed innocuous on its face. But the backstory illustrates how he's turned live-saving medical gear into a form of patronage.

Here’s the link to watch for free. I was a WWII historian in the 90s and I think it’s outstanding. Even people who think they know the subject may be surprised by how closely the Nazis studied and were inspired by segregation and Jim Crow in the US.
Ah, yes. Winston Churchill famously ordered his own citizens to be clubbed & gassed so he could be seen touring their bombed out homes for a campaign commercial. That guy really knew how to read the room!
A sour-looking Trump ignored a shouted question from a reporter about "why do you keep hiring people that you believe are wackos and liars?" as the event ended
Putin is hailing Russia's "liberation" of Mariupol after his forces completely destroyed during a two-month siege.
He told defense minister Sergei Shoigu to block off the Azovstal metallurgical plant, where the last Ukrainian troops are holed up, "so that a fly can't get in."
Read Ronald Reagan's Long-Hidden Racist Conversation with Richard Nixon Reagan launched his 1980 campaign with a loud, racist dog whistle & Nixon ran on the racist Southern Strategy, but I’m sure Dinesh D’Souza will somehow fuck it up.

My late father was born under Chinese warlords, lived through the Japanese occupation of Manchuria, survived WWII, fled the Chinese civil war, and endured two decades of martial law in Taiwan. THEN he started a new life in the US at 40. That’s why I stand with refugees and IDPs.
In authoritarian countries (like the ones Trump loves), the accusation of an attempted “coup” is usually followed by mass arrests, torture, executions, suspending civil liberties, etc. Trump represents a clear & present danger. We can only hope he lacks the competence to succeed.
Very disturbing and deserves more attention: Trump is now declaring the Mueller investigation "a coup" and "an attempted overthrow of the US government." As

notes, this can only deepen concerns about Trump's authoritarian impulses headed into 2020

I can sort of imagine. I was four years old when I arrived in this country at Dulles Airport. My uncle had a little nylon pinstriped suit made for me because it was unthinkable not to dress up for a flight in those days.
This a jaw dropping thread. Clarence Thomas is the Donald Trump of the Supreme Court — there are no guard rails because nobody thought anyone could abuse the office quite so brazenly.
For decades, Justice Clarence Thomas has secretly accepted luxury trips from a major Republican donor, newly obtained documents and interviews show.
The extent and frequency of these apparent gifts to Thomas has no known precedent in modern SCOTUS history... 🧵👇

"It is not the fault of the FBI that Donald Trump surrounded himself with criminals" -- brilliant line of questioning here from Ted Lieu highlighting how a range of Trump staffers were convicted by a DOJ overseen *by Trump staffers*
TFW you’ve been in the Senate for 40 years and start to argue that coup plotting is privileged information and therefore out of bounds for investigators:
"The president has every right to discuss ideas & strategies with his closest advisors ... for robust discussion" -- Grassley is talking here about Trump's attempts to scheme with the DOJ to overthrow a free and fair election

I’ve had a lifetime of disagreements with John McCain (who died in 2018), but this interview from nearly a decade ago aged incredibly well. It was his Nostradamus moment. He nailed Putin.🎯
Worth repeating today: The idea that vaccines cause autism is based on research that was later retracted for apparent fraud and financial conflicts of interest. The lead author lost his medical license.
Shocking aerial footage shows the large-scale destruction of Mariupol in southeast Ukraine. 90% of the city, once home to nearly 500,000 people, has reportedly been destroyed by Russia.
About 100,000 people remain trapped in the city without food or water, Ukraine's leader said.

April 1 will forever be known as Flash Day because so many A-holes will be exposed simultaneously. The blue check will become a badge of shame, Twitter revenue will plummet, and Elon will fire everyone who dares to explain to him what went wrong. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Bill Barr: “All conspiracies involve speech. And all fraud involves speech. But free speech doesn’t give you the right to engage in a fraudulent conspiracy.”
Bill Barr on CNN: "As the indictment says, they're not attacking his First Amendment right. He can say whatever he wants. He can even lie. He can tell people that the election was stolen when he knew better. But that does not protect you from entering into a conspiracy."
I have confirmed that the State Police saw all the tweets asking if those were white supremacist tattoos on the body of the state trooper who went missing and "there is currently an internal investigation into the matter."
Scott Perry on if he'll participate in House GOP's investigation of J6 investigators even though his phone was seized as part of J6 investigation: "Why should anybody be limited just because someone has made an accusation? Everybody in America is innocent until proven otherwise."
Giuliani spreads sketchily-sourced smears of Yovanovitch: "I forced her out because she's corrupt. I came back with a document that will show unequivocally that she committed perjury ... she should have been fired if the State Department weren't part of the deep state."
Anomaly or an early indicator? The new Fox Poll puts support for

at 50% between the 43% that want to impeach and remove him and 7% that would impeach but not remove. That exceeds the 48% who would not impeach at all.
Matt Gaetz on the House floor: "It is going to be difficult for my Republican friends to keep calling President Biden feeble while he continues to take Speaker McCarthy's lunch money in every negotiation."
Incredibly rich thread about what House Republicans are choosing to prioritize for the next 2 years. The same bumbling crew that held more than 30 hearings on the Benghazi manufactureversy and found nothing are focusing on Hunter Biden’s laptop & Elon’s TwitterFiles vendetta.🙄
"We return not to focus on advancing this robust agenda of progress, but instead, to take up an authentically trivial pursuit, all based on the obsessive victimology of right-wing politics" -- Raskin begins by pointing out what a huge waste of time a hearing Hunter's laptop is
