Congratulations, Watergate, awesome, but what else is there? I am mainly seeing endless stenography of power purchased by a certain amount of, shall we say, knob polishing. Decades of coasting on fumes in ways Nixon would've approved of.

I live in Puerto Rico. I have not seen ICE in the street where I live, but yes in the airport some time back. There’s going to be a demonstration against ICE today. Flights leave here daily removing immigrants. 😞

Okay now I’m really mad 😡 tell me their not attacking Latino’s?! WTF! ICE in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 #VocesDemocraticas #USDemocracy #Pinks

If Republicans manage to fumble a Senate seat in fricking SOUTH CAROLINA, I will laugh incredibly hard.

My armchair analysis of Supreme Court Retirement Watch is that I genuinely don't think Trump wanted or wants Alito or Thomas to retire, because Alito and Thomas are already the Trump administration's de facto representatives on the Court, and I'm not sure he could find anyone better

Best speech in the canon. I can still recite it after all these years. Happy St Crispin's Day! Go vote.

This I find very interesting So they know of the Clark County, Nevada voters so far that equally 3% of Dems and 3% of GOP voted on Election Day. Strongly suggests both no "cannibalization" from Dem EV strength as some have feared, but perhaps also that GOP turnout just sucks. No one is waiting.

Obama: "That well-known evil empire Canada. That historical adversary of ours. Canada! *laughs* It's your neighbor. It's a few minutes' drive over the bridge! These are the people who gave us Martin Short and maple syrup. They are the nicest people! And someone we've gotten them so mad."

This brutal Obama-Trump supercut side by side from @meidastouch.com helps explain why Trump is losing it tonight 👇🏽

Republicans will wear the Trump stink no matter what

Pancake lines in Japan pour batter into hot molds, then flip, cool and stack thousands of identical pieces per hour with no hands involved. Cameras reject the defects.

Sanctioned Russian Giant Allegedly Controlled $25B Alaska Gas Project Linked to Trump Jr.’s Friend — UNITED24 Media share.google/y0vFDctfgxkC...

Russia, Russia, Russia. united24media.com/world/sancti...

The NYT and FT report a $25B Alaska gas venture, discussed in the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin talks, was secretly financed by a sanctioned Russian company. Its CEO quit when he found out. ⛽🇷🇺 Remember this the next time someone says the real national security threat is a trans kid on a soccer team.

Novatek Alaska Gas ⛽ Novatek secretly funded $25B Alaska LNG 🧾 Ties to Trump Jr. contact; US execs quit

perhaps more exciting than being on tv was meeting debbie shields, the women who improv’d with conan on subway takes

Mike Lawler’s very first vote in Congress was to help rich donors cheat on their taxes by firing IRS workers hired to make sure they paid their fair share. And it added over $100B to the deficit in the process. #TheRealMikeLawler will always put billionaires first, #NY17.

Trofimov is correct: the key takeaway from the FT's blockbuster story is that the Trump family and cronies were exercising direct private control over this massive Alaska project, and they were using that control to benefit the Kremlin. Plain as day. But NYT couldn't understand what was happening.

Trump will LOVE the opportunity to “place the executive branch outside the reach of the law.”

Things you contemplate when your administration is definitely operating within the law.

Here’s something you should know about minks: They have lungs and airways remarkably similar on a cellular level to those of people. They’ve spread flus and infected humans before with COVID-19. Right now, bird flu is spreading on a Utah farm filled with thousands of them… 🧵

Telling a woman to shut up when she’s asking about the attack ad you’ve backed calling a pedophilia victim a loser is like a turducken pf misogyny

One day a reporter will finally snap back “shut the fuck up, grandpa” and become the first GoFundMe billionaire

😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

Didn't the courts adjudicate this already?

There's a scenario in which the Supreme Court gets this case in December and three justices involved in Bush v. Gore on behalf of Bush will be asked whether confusion is grounds to reject election results.

BREAKING: The Trump administration sues to block Alaska Senate certification if Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan loses as another candidate shares his name.

Trump admitting Russia & China aiding Iran. Iran waging war against U.S. & killed American military. Trump giving financial/economic support to Russia (lifting sanctions & diesel deal is latest). Clear violation of Constitution Article III, Section 3 Treason clause. Trump is a traitor to the U.S.

Jon Stewart: Trump waiving Russia sanctions ‘insane’ and ‘incoherent’

Ukraine's Air Force says Russia launched 176 drones overnight, including 92 jet-powered Shaheds. By 08:00, 140 UAVs had been downed or suppressed, including 68 jet-powered Shaheds. Ten attack drones remained airborne, with strikes recorded at 19 locations. #Ukraine

White House special envoy Steve Witkoff praises Putin as a “humanitarian”, Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign ad, and Trump announces cash for tips on fraud in U.S. government programs (here’s a tip…) anntelnaes.substack.com/p/putin-rama...

Ann is a must-follow.

Earlier this week, I told @thebulwark.com that Witkoff was always trying to be Putin’s friend. Today, he called Putin a “humanitarian.” Putin sees this as weakness. These guys are in way over their heads.

This is not good! When is the GOP going to do something? #Pinks #USDemocracy

This is why you will need national legislation. And more coherent legislation rather than one-time levies. But state efforts are critical because they put the topic into the conversation. And generally 'neener neener' isn't good messaging from the billionaire class.

literally illegal

U.S. Postal Service cuts have caused mail-in ballot rejections to skyrocket, particularly in rural areas.

They are trying everything to make this not happen. Voters under attack. Denied their rights at the ballot.
