🧵🧵🧵 I was going to write a simple sentence about the madness of the moment, but I got distracted by the U.S. president’s complaint that he was screwed out of the Nobel Peace Prize after bombing multiple countries, and then he bolstered his case with a plan to execute a guy in a wheelchair and ...

CapitalOne closed 300 of Trump’s accounts on suspicions of money laundering, so the Trump family just decided to start their own bank. Problem solved!

to hear Trump tell it, American elections were completely corrupted while he was president and he was helpless to stop it, then they were cleaned up by Biden ahead of Trump's victory in 2024, and now that Trump is president again they are once again becoming third world caliber

Turning the White House South Lawn into a UFC venue is a historic low for presidential decorum, but watching the whole spectacle get derailed by a biblical combination of 100+ degree humidity, apocalyptic thunderstorms, and massive swarms of bugs would definitely be poetic justice.

Let’s state the obvious: The government will not convict Comey. It also likely will not convict the SPLC. The teeth of these indictments are *financial* — imposing so much cost + reputational harm that these “enemies” of the Trump admin are forever weakened. And that others like them are cowed.

For the first time in decades, consensus broke at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. The United States cast the lone “no” vote on a document aimed at improving justice systems for women and girls worldwide. Misogyny is the official policy of the US under Trump.

Trump on Joe Kent: "I always thought he was weak on security. Very weak on security. It's a good thing that he's out."

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon. Part of a lawsuit by @acls1919.bsky.social, @modernlanguage.bsky.social + @historians.org

Also, be sure not to spread this video of Justin Fox, the other DOGE bro who revealed that he's a malicious moron who caused incredible destruction. Do not hurt Justin Fox's reputation just by linking Justin Fox's name to the sworn testimony Justin Fox gave about what Justin Fox did.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

Meanwhile, DHS shows its contempt for the judiciary in a different way. In dozens, likely now thousands, of cases, DHS openly defies court orders. Minnesota courts enter orders forbidding ICE from moving noncitizens who’ve filed habeas petitions out of Minnesota. They move them anyway. 16/

Take a look at this insane image the Illinois College Republicans posted and then read their statement about how they're not trying to excuse or glorify violence.

Reporter: 1.4 billion, really closer to 1.5. I studied Donald Trump's finances, and this amount the Trump family made last year is greater than the sum total of everything he ever made in his whole life. #NoWarrantNoICE #NoMoneyForMurderers

Noem: "An individual approached US border patrol officers... The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently." Video footage from multiple angles proves that this is outright bullshit. Alex Pretti did not approach ICE officers nor did he react violently.
