As part of Trump’s attempts to rewrite history, he started calling “deranged” those who defend the Constitution, believe in justice, don’t tolerate: blatant lies, attempts to dismantle our government, & the trampling on our rights and freedoms! The world is watching! No one’s buying your garbage!

Why did BS stories like the John Kerry swiftboating and Obama birtherism get into major media? Because news bosses wanted to show their “fairness.” I know this because I edited the Chicago Tribune’s first story on Obama’s birth certificate. We didn’t want to touch it. The higher-ups made us. 9/10 🧵

People already had health savings accounts. That was for, like, paying for a pair of glasses, not funding an entire health care plan for a family.

Hey, so what’s the status of the 1M+ new Epstein documents the DOJ claimed they “found” over the Christmas break? Seems pretty important, and the media ought to be asking about it.

Trump is increasingly worried about his own mortality, and he's trying to use government to create a physical legacy that will outlive him.
Which is why every bit of it must be torn down and smashed to bits.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable.
We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.
Democrats must remember this — and act on it.

Trump is no longer making any pretense of sanctioning firms supplying the Russian military. He is shifting the US position steadily to a pro-Russian position, including support for Russian military operations in Ukraine.

Over the past eight weeks, the dismissal rate of the Trump DOJ's criminal complaints in D.C. has risen to 21% — compared to 0.5% over the past decade.
Some errors came after senior officials made public statements that strayed from the allegations in sworn court filings, violating department rules.

Unprecedented errors are eroding the credibility of Trump's Justice Department
In years past, it was relatively rare for a federal court to question the Justice Department's competency or good faith. But such questions are becoming more common.
