SKEET THREAD: There’s a lot I could say about this argument, but since in the end it all boils down to this paragraph, let me just address this.

This this this

I wrote about how the NYT is taking a very different approach to covering the influence of foreign money for Trump compared to Hillary Clinton.

UPDATE: The NYT has FINALLY mentioned that a Chinese national being prosecuted by the SEC for fraud, Justin Sun, has made a multi-million dollar payment to Donald Trump by purchasing tokens from a Trump-backed crypto company. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/05/u...

European Union regulators ordered TikTok to retain any information related to Romania’s presidential election, after the country’s top defense body released declassified intelligence alleging that Moscow arranged an online campaign to support the surprise front-runner. apnews.com/article/roma...

Beware the civil contrarian bots. They disagree in stilted, civil, but annoying language, trying to sound human. Thanks @garymaher.bsky.social for rounding up this bunch! Several have been suspended.

Omg yes! Watch this! bsky.app/profile/muel...

The felon strikes again… His nominee to head the IRS, former Republican congressman Billy Long, didn’t serve on the House tax writing committee, doesn’t have a college degree, and his previous experience was as an auctioneer. Perfect for heading the IRS🤨😵‍💫🙄 thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Under Trump, EPA scientists say managers encouraged them to delete evidence of chemicals’ harms, including cancer, miscarriage and neurological problems, from their reports. And in some cases, they said, their managers deleted the information themselves. By @fastlerner.bsky.social

QUESTION: Hannity says Joe Biden lied when he said he would never pardon Hunter. But Hannity is divorced. So when he vowed to stay with his wife until death did them part, was he lying, or did circumstances change?

Trump literally sells pardons. Media: *crickets* Biden pardons his only living son. Media: OUTRAGE!

AOC has become the first user to hit 1,000,000 followers on Bluesky

To recap, the guy nominated Ambassador to Israel does not recognize Palestine and the guy picked to lead the military gets drunk a lot and yells stuff like "Kill all Muslims". I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.

EXACTLY.

I am not going to stop calling for an FBI background check of Tulsi Gabbard and neither should you.

Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post

JUST IN: In a major foreign policy speech, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer warns Donald Trump that he will not side with the United States over the EU after Trump allies suggested he must make a choice between the two.

I think I'm going to buy a black top hat and cape. I feel like an experienced magician on this platform: I can make MAGA accounts disappear so fast that they don't even make it to my short-term memory. No beautiful assistant needed.

so US consumers spent over $10 billion dollars on black friday but elected a dictator because the eggs were too expensive 🤔

Remember when Trump issued a last second pardon to Judge Jeanine’s tax cheat ex husband? President Biden was sworn in 45 minutes later.

Elon Musk is at work It ain't good Elon Musk publicized the names of government employees he wants to cut. It’s terrifying federal workers www.yahoo.com/finance/news...

Every single member of congress has their own private bathroom. Regardless of your position, this is nothing but performance art.

Meiselas: Those Republicans were sure ready to cover up child sex trafficking. They were rushing to cover it up. They were blaming the media for it. And one of the things Trump did during this awful transition was basically expose the entire Republican Party as being a pro-sex trafficking party.

It’s not the economy. It’s the lies. “Kamala Harris did not lose the election because of things she said. She lost because of things Donald Trump said she said.” Republicans attacked Harris viciously. Relentlessly. Propaganda and information warfare killed her…

When I was a child, I learned that the Constitution didn’t apply to people like us. I said the Pledge of Allegiance from inside a barbed wire camp, the words “with liberty and justice for all” wholly meaningless. But I did not give up on America. I’ve spent my life fighting for its ideals.

We are very excited to welcome Robert Reich to The Weekend Show to discuss what 'We the People’ can do to oppose Trump's extreme political agenda in the wake of his narrow popular vote win. Watch live at 8p ET/5p PT! 👉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OBx...

Gee, I wonder...

Tammy Duckworth on Tulsi Gabbard: "I think she's compromised ... Russian controlled media called her a Russian asset."

The thing about humans turning away from our humanity is that we, more often than not,seek permission. A lesson learned from the Holocaust. DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE

In case you haven't been paying attention, among tue chaos, a district court judge ruled that OT pay is unconstitutional because of agency overreach. This is YOUR America now. Your civic ignorance has us all suffering now. #USDemocracy natlawreview.com/article/empl...

This is a long, but incredibly important and informative, thread. Please print it out or share it via any means possible with immigrant groups, individuals, and communities. Thanks to Matt for such detailed information regarding the risk of deportation and ways to protect oneself. #USDemocracy

It's fascists such as Putin, Hitler, Trump who discuss war against Democratics and then blame the anti fascists for war. It's a damn shame people are stupid enough to follow them right into hell! #USDemocracy

former Trump National Security Adviser HR McMaster: "There are some people in the Republican Party these days who tend to parrot Vladimir Putin's talking points."

PONDER THIS: Donald Trump, along with the right, got a big assist from Russia, China, and North Korea—and still only won the popular vote by 1.8%. These memes were paid for by a foreign government. Get it?
