If it were Hillary out holding weekly “rallies” two years after losing media would surely be investigating the costs to taxpayers (Secret Service, travel). Crook ain’t spending his own money.

If this were happening in another country, the heds would all read: Religious hard-liners attempting to undermine democratically elected leader.
As always, excellent

explainer of what Republicans are really doing, taking America back before the New Deal to white male dominance. Gonna be a long two years, if we make it…

More concern about the flute than about top-secret documents spirited away from the national archive. Just a mystery why.
Do the MAGAts are circulating a story that Melania is the first
#FLOTUS
to visit troops in a combat zone. To that I give them this picture of
@HillaryClinton
in Bosnia in 1996
Not a peep in the print paper about
@vp
’s hugely successful trip to Africa. Five stories about the guy who lost the last election. Same assholes insisted Hillary go off and knit after she won the popular vote.
"Last year's election in November changed everything" -- Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz talks on CNN about how Dems winning the trifecta led to new gun control laws, including universal background checks
Reminder that the story of the 10-year-old who no one wanted to believe had to travel out of state for an abortion is actually even worse: She was 9 when she was raped.

@LauraChapin
About at the point where you feel worse for the medical team who had to care for him. And even worse for the vaccinated who were deprived of care while he was hogging resources.
Superb

: “the reason we have so many diaries from Confederates in the early 1860s is that they imagined they were founders of a new nation.” And here Republicans are again.
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 30, the number is 100%.
White lady tip: Just got a reminder that anytime a friend sez
@vp
is not electable you need to push the fuck back. IRL friend is now totally onboard, not least cuz of
@acyn
's clips I keep forwarding:
VP: You know, there's something happening in our country where some people would suggest that the measure of strength is based on who you beat down. That's perverse. The true measure of strength is based on who you lift up.
One of my first memories is of hiding under the table when the parish priest came to "visit." One of my angriest memories is of seeing all the gold in the Vatican while thinking of my mom dropping dollars she didn't have in the collection basket.
There are ppl who are still more angry that Sinead O’Connor disrespected John Paul II…
…than they’re angry at jP2 for covering up child rape.
My fellow Catholics, Sinead doesn't need your forgiveness; she deserves your thanks.
Ted Cruz calls Joe Biden a terrorist who paid for the rocket attack on Israel. Cruz said that Biden stands with terrorists. (Biden has a 60% approval rating and Republicans are getting pathetically desperate to villainize him.)

Sounds racist now but: Brit friend in late 80s marveled that "New Yorkers will turn their children over to people they would not have at a cocktail party."

Always remember the dinner party we had after the pussy tape came out. Every. Single. Woman. Had. A. Horror. Story. Trauma all had to be relived.
@HC_Richardson
really laying out what a dangerous game Trump & Republicans are playing. Which is somehow not news fit to print in a paper that kept Whitewater/Yellowcake/Emails on the front page for years.
The network that brought you hours upon hours upon hours of Trump speeches and rallies now thinks networks shouldn't air Biden's speech on Thursday if it's political

Isn't this the seller the sister who just stepped down as a judge rather than have investigators poking around in her finances?
#crimefamily
Doesn’t inspire a lot confidence for the future that a sitting Supreme Court justice was caught in a bonkers series of corruption scandals and seemingly nothing has come of it; even the opposing party was like “Well, wouldn’t want to impair the dignity of the Court too much”
"Biden apparently suffers from the rare form of dementia that makes him more focused and disciplined as president than he ever was as vice president." --
@SER1897
Another day to wonder if the Big Lie would have spread so easily if media had hammered the numbers every damn day. The big loser lost by 7 million votes. More than 10 times the population of the all-important state of Wyoming.
An incredible, longer than one minute standing ovation for President Biden from members of the Irish Parliament.
America is respected again.
Outstanding.👏👏👏
Pregnant women with Covid are more likely to lose their fetuses and babies in the womb or shortly after birth, new research shows. "Quite strikingly, no baby deaths occurred in women who had SARS-CoV-2 and were vaccinated," the paper's first author said.
Absolute loon was just on BBC braying the usual Soros/Hunter laptop/witch hunt insanity. And it turned out to be a congressman. Whole world is listening to the last gasp of white supremacy. And it’s gruesome.
Peter Navarro tonight: “Help me, please! I’m looking at a half million dollars in legal expenses .. or more! This could go to a million. I’ve got to raise that money. I can’t kill my retirement!”
As always, excellent roundup by
@HC_Richardson
, today on Biden highlighting all the ways Republicans are spelling out how they intend to absolutely screw over everyone but the rich.
As footage from the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol is displayed in the background, former President Donald Trump stands while a song, “Justice for All,” is played during a campaign rally at Waco Regional Airport, Saturday, March 25, 2023, in Waco, Texas.
Corruption staring us right in the face & it’s totally normalized. Failed coup leader who installed illegitimate judges is taken seriously as a 2024 candidate. Those emails, tho.
#NPR
should screen guests to be sure they don't get on and just natter about Dems needing to pander to "blue-collar workers." Biden/Harris admin has been creating jobs like crazy. FFS.
Threats made by accused rioters vs Nancy Pelosi on & ahead of Jan 6
"Shoot her in the.. brain"
"We're coming for you b***"
"Rip her f**ing head off"
"I pi**ed in her office"
"We're gonna kill her"
"I'm gonna go on a killing spree.. Pelosi first"
"Putting a bullet in her noggin"
The media questioning Biden's mental acuity while Trump spews word vomit publicly is to 2024 what the media questioning Hillary's fitness for office due to her email habits while Trump was paying hush money and handing poll data to the Russians was in 2016.

@KFILE
Yeah. We know what he did when he was 17. What did he do when he was 14? (Also, too: Wife looks nervous about how they're gonna pay back the $200K if he fails.)
"It’s a deeply embarrassing document that portrays Trump as a weak and incompetent buffoon rather than the valiant warrior against the deep state his followers have so long believed him to be." --
@davidrlurie
The publisher of the Times says paper must interview Biden to "verify that ...[he] is still fit to hold the presidency." Meanwhile, Trump can't even stay awake during his own trial.
NYT P1 is a disaster again. No hint in lede story that inflation is global, not just Biden’s problem. Refer both-sides Israel’s murder of an American journalist. And of course there’s a big “Dems in disarray” story.
Particularly excellent history lesson from
@HC_Richardson
today, especially as you wake up to news of another mass shooting in this uncivilized country.
As always, you can save a lot of time and frustration just by reading
@HC_Richardson
’s summary. As NYT describes flushing the people’s documents etc. as “highly irregular practices.”
President Obama had the confidence to revere science, listen to experts and lead with compassion. He lead with actual plans and details, articulated short- and long-term strategic goals, always had an end-game and always worked in the national interest and the greater good.
Another excellent history lesson/explainer from
@HC_Richardson
as Republicans try again to undo all FDR’s progress rather than just tax the fucking rich.
